Lucinda POV
On the next day of school, word of the attack had spread, and even now, students were doing interviews with Skeeter and other Daily Prophet reporters to find out the truth. Dumbledore had been questioned and he kept denying everything. Although there were memories to back him up, he had chosen to try covering it up. Many of the students were against him, yet he still thought he had the upper hand.
I still wasn't allowed to leave the hospital wing, but the teachers brought me my homework. Draco was always visiting. Mum and dad never left. Though Severus was okay, he was still recovering too. I was now waiting to be interviewed myself. No one had approached me yet because they didn't want to place stress on my healing body.
There were moments where I wondered if it was safe to continue down this path, continue trying to bring Dumbledore's downfall. After all, he was the reason Tom was classed as dark, suffering in an orphanage, and Sirius was locked up. Many people were getting hurt when they tried to cross that old man. The damage was done now, but this one scare was already fueling doubt in my heart. I really needed to talk to my uncles. I got some parchment and began to write two letters.
Dear Uncle Tom,
I am sorry. I have been ill and started Hogwarts. I haven't had much time to write to you. If you haven't already heard, I plan on making Dumbledore pay for the wrongs he has coursed. I look forward to meeting you when I am out of Hogwarts. I hope you're well and I hope you're not hurting people too much.
With Love your Goddaughter Lucinda Malfoy.
Giving the letter one last glance, making sure there was nothing else I wanted to say, I put it aside to think about what I wanted to write to Sirius. I reflected on my feelings, my recent experiences, my past experiences, and started to make my quill scratch the white paper with the black ink.
Dear Uncle Siri,
I miss Padfoot. You could have visited during the summer, but you never did. I am trying to make Dumbledore pay for taking me from my family and the damage he is doing to our world. How's Remey doing? I hope you are safe. I miss you too and wish you had shown up during the summer. It was boring with just me and Drake. Hope to see you again soon with all my heart.

With the letters done and out of the way, I placed them on the nightstand next to the bed. I would have mum or dad send them on their way later. Now, I would just wait for a reporter to make their way in and make sure they make it fast. I was an innocent girl and the headmaster just downright attacked me, not wanting to dwell on it too much. I continue my homework, using the rest of my spare time productively. It wasn't too far away from lunchtime anyway, and I had a feeling some reporters would be here soon. Mum and dad had only gone home to freshen up, so they wouldn't be too long. Though the plan had the worse outcome, there were still many things to be worked out in order to expose Dumbledore and to do it this early on would be very helpful. Especially in this war.
