The moment Draco Malfoy reached his bed that first night, he pulled out a piece of parchment and quill.

Dear Father,

I've just seen the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. We haven't had any classes yet, and no one is sure what her name is - can you believe it? Another woman teacher! What is wrong with Dumbledore? - But there are rumors about her being named.something like Iddler. Or Idlider. Something to that effect. I've never seen her before - or heard of her. But I was thinking that maybe you had, Father? I'll send another owl after our first classes.



Sincerely,

Draco





He folded the letter, and tied a string around it, then went to the owlery. He called down a Horned Owl, and gave him the letter.



"Take it to the Malfoy Manor." Once the owl flew off, Draco went back to the Common Room. He sat there till well past midnight, speaking with old friends and the like. When he was the last one there, and even Crabbe and Goyle had gone to bed, Malfoy climbed the spiraling stairs the room and bed he had had since the first year of school.
