Two Nights Later:

Slytherin common room

My Dear Son Draco,

Much news I have just received from the Dark Lord, one of its subjects being of Great Importance.

In such urgent news from the Lord, I must be discreet about it for fear of interception.

The Dark Lord wishes an heir from our family to rule the Dark Throne when he has passed, which is not too far off, mind you.

I have suggested you, though he seemed to disagree. It is not you or I that he so desires to take over his position when he is gone, but a full-blooded Malfoy, a child from both you and a sibling.

Being in your situation right now, you are probably thinking that the Lord has gone completely mad, for you have no siblings.

You see, this is the part where as a father, I have gone wrong and it was; mind you or anyone, for the best, though it has been my downfall.

It is my confession and a secret that I have kept and held close for fear of weakness thought to be in this family, that you have a twin sister. Surprising though this may be to you, your mother and I thought it best that you not know.

Hoping to see you for the Holiday's,

L .M.

P.S. She was this families weakness, it was best that you not know at
all.
