A/N: It's been some time since I updated. I have a lot of pressure from school this year, so updates might be a little slow.

I wasn't going to post this letter up till I had the next one written, but I changed my mind because it's already been so long since I updated.

To kitkatritrat: Thank you so much for your review. You gave me an idea for a a few more letters that I can add to this story, but I don't want to stretch it out too much, so I'm still thinking about that. Because if I have a letter from Scorpius doubting his family, then I need to do 4 letters from each of the Malfoys, and at least 2 replies (if he sends joint letters to his parents and grandparents respectively). And I have a 2 part epilogue planned out. So I'm pretty confused about that now. - Well, I wrote that reply ages ago, when I read your review. But now I have thought about it more, and I think I will include your suggestion, as a letter from Scorpius and then a reply from his parents. Let's see how school and life goes, but I think I'll be able to manage, even if it takes months. :)


Dear Mother,

Why did you write a letter to my Head of House! That was so embarrassing, Mother! He called me to his office and talked to me. And he basically told me I was acting like a girl. Then the next day in class, he asked me - in front of everyone - if I was doing alright. Quite mean of him, if you ask me. The prefects insist that he's quite nice if you get to know him a little better. I don't think I even want to know what that man's like under that tough exterior!

Other than him, everything in Slytherin is amazing! The Common Room is so cool. It's so majestic, and you can see the lake from the windows. It does get a little cold, because it's in the dungeons, but we have lots of Heating Charms in the dormitories and a big fire place in the Common Room. I'm sharing a dorm with three other boys. They're all pretty nice and we have a good time together.

Don't worry about me, Mother. I've made a new friend! His name is Albus. Albus Potter. Do you mind? I know you and Dad didn't exactly get along with the Potters and Weasleys, but - I'm not you. I really like Al. He's so funny and great to hang out with. Although... He still hasn't written to his parents and told them that he's friends with me. I hope they don't mind...

And Mother, how could you even suggest that I would drift away from you all? You're my family; and family loyalty is one of the best qualities of a Malfoy.

I hope you and Father are alright. That reminds me - Mother, why hasn't Father replied to me yet? Grandmother and Grandfather have replied, you have; why didn't he? I know he can't be that busy with work... Is he still upset? I didn't mean to hurt his feelings… It's bothering me. I like talking to Father. Please ask him to write to me, even if it's not about the war. I understand that he doesn't want to think about his mistakes. It's alright.

I can't wait to come home for Christmas! Though I think I might miss Hogwarts a little too. It's so magical here.

Love,

Scorpius.


Reviews make me really excited!
