Scorpius Malfoy
Dear Scorpius,
It is truly touching to hear that you are having your first little school crush, but don't worry to much about it darling, these things tend to pass quickly. Of course, if this is a more lengthy fling, then we must reconsider our faults with the Potters! I would never want some foolish adult dispute to soil your infatuation with the girl. Surely you will soon be over it, and life will have gone back to how it should be. Perhaps we may even laugh a little at your silly crush! Love is a great and complex thing, Scorpius. At twelve, you are perhaps to young to know about such things and only merely think that you love Miss Lily Potter. When your true feelings show, we may discuss this further and figure out the right course for your future.
Much love,
your Mother,
Pansy Malfoy
Scorpius crumpled the letter, feeling disgusted and satisfied. If his parents had truly bought his lie about his affections for Lily, then the whole school would have too. So why did they all think that he was a liar?
