Hello all! The next chapter should be up on Sunday.
Good news! This story was runner up for the Best Comedy at the SunnyD Awards. The address for the site is on my profile page. How cool is that? My first almost award. Hee hee
A/N: These letters cover a good deal of time. You'll see when they end in the next chapter.
A/N2: Also, I've looked and have never found any solid evidence of when Dawn or Draco's birthdays are, so I made them up to fit my fic.
Review Responses:
always krissy, Faith5321, Lolly6, buffy13-buffyspike4eva, Biannca, moonbunny77, gabrieldarke, thank you guys so much for your reviews!
Kandice, I know it is rather deceitful, and don't think it won't come back to bite her later. As for Lucius, I'm afraid you've seen the last of him in this fic.
Ezmerelda, yeah, the thought of someone selflessly doing something like that for him is going to have an effect. At least, it will definitely be some food for thought.
Thanks to my beta, PuNKyCoWGiRL!

Malfoy,
This is just a little note saying hi to accompany your Christmas present. Thought you'd might like to get one since your Christmas so far has been pretty crappy. I hope you like it.

Summers,
Thank you for the cd walkman and cds. Where did you find the charm to let it work at Hogwarts?
Draco
Malfoy,
Oh my god! Thank you so much for the present! How did you know that I love dragons? You really didn't have to get me anything you know, but it was sweet of you.
Willow found the charm for the walkman. She's pretty sure it will work. If not, let us know and she'll see if she can find another one.
Dawn
Summers,
The walkman works fine. Although I have to hide it most of the time from my housemates. They'd never understand why I'd own a muggle object.
As for the dragon, it was just a hunch. And yes, I had to get you something. I do have manners, after all. You can also think of it as a thank you for taking that curse for me. I still don't understand why you did that.
Well, I've got to go to quidditch practice.
Draco
P.S. When's your birthday?
Malfoy,
Don't worry about the curse thing. I'm sure you'll finally understand why I did it some day. It has to do with a lot of things that I can't really put into words.
Things are really slow here. Demon activity has dropped way down, which actually kind of worries us. They might be planning something big.
As for my birthday, it's July 3. Why?
Dawn
Summers,
I was just curious is all. (About your birthday)
Did you ever think that the demon activity has dropped because of all the slayers killing them off? You can't tip the scales in the favor of good like that without seeing some sort of side effect.
Draco
Malfoy,
Hmmm.... I never thought of it that way before. God I hope that doesn't mean anything hugely bad is going to happen to tip the scales back. 'Cause that would just suck.
Since we're sharing birthdates, when is yours?
How is quidditch?
Dawn
Summers,
Mine is May 16.
I thought you didn't like quidditch? But things are fine. Our team is really good this year and I think we have a fair chance of beating Gryffindor. We haven't won the Quidditch School Cup in years.
Draco
Malfoy,
I asked about quidditch because I know you like it. It would be rude of me to only discuss things that interested me and not you. I have manners, too. Even though I don't always use them.
Dawn
