August 31
I'm supposed to be traveling to Hogwarts tomorrow. I must say that I am happy to leave Malfoy Manor. Everything I did there was based on what my father wanted. All Lucius told me was about my responsibilities. He went over everything that I was supposed to do at Hogwarts. He told me of "fool- proof" plans that would have to be put into action as soon as I got to Hogwarts. It was a very hectic visit compared to others. I did, however get to see Father.
Father was here 3 days ago. He came in the middle of the night. I was tried from being in Diagon Alley all day, buying new robes and books but I was forced to stay awake. When I asked why, I was told I was a child and it wasn't my place to ask. It had to be past midnight when, Lucius waltzed down the corridor with a tall hooded figure. It had been awhile since I had seen my father, so at first I was frightened. When the figure came into the room and removed his cloak, I knew exactly who it was.
"Father." I stood up when he came into the room. She gave a venomous smirk nodded and replied with,
"Melinda, what a beautiful young woman." I gave him the same smirk in response. He threw his cloak in a corner and Lucius motioned his hand for him to sit on a chair by the fireplace. Father sat down and gave a stern face towards Lucius.
"Have you told her everything?" he whispered. Lucius sat down across from him then glanced at me before saying,
"Yes, my Lord."
"Very Well" Father answered looking at me. Then he raised an eyebrow
"Do you know what you are supposed to do?" His words seemed to be more demanding then any father should talk to his daughter but I understood his circumstance.
"Yes" He nodded in acknowledgment. He thought about it for a moment then raised his eyebrow again.
"What are you supposed to do?" I smiled that evil smile he had taught me and recited what I had been told so far.
".Make this as easy as possible for us as well as him. That is what Uncle Lucius has told me Father." When I finished speaking both Lucius and Father smirked at how well their plan was going. Father then lifted his hand to his chin in thought.
" Your excuse for being at the school is that you do not want to fall back on your studies. Lucinda, Lila and Diana are just other students from your previous school. You are not to show any relation to them at all, neither to Draco." He quickly turned his head towards Lucius whose mouth was already open to debate.
"My Lord, couldn't Draco be of any help to Melinda?" Father flashed a disappointed look at Lucius."
"We both know that Draco isn't trustworthy of such a responsibility and he already has a reputation against the boy." Lucius opened his mouth to speak up again quickly closed it.
"However, I will get information to Melinda, through you." This time I was the one who began to protest.
"Father, can't you just send it to me directly? I'm old enough to know how to-"He raised his hand quickly and cut me off.
"What I'm doing is for your individual good." With that, he stood up and left the room. Lucius followed behind him. I took another route to get up to my room.
For the last two days, Lucius has been going over what I am supposed to do. I am beginning to loose interest in such a thing. I always ask myself 'Why go through all of this to kill a boy?' I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
