To my loving Mother and Father,
I formally apologize for not writing the night before. I promptly slept the moment I reached the common room. I am also pleased to inform you that I had been sorted into Ravenclaw. The Ravenclaw Tower is a pleasant Tower with many books, nooks, and crannies, enabling me to read more. I am though, not sorry for being sorted into Slytherin. I am a Ravenclaw through and through, and you will both have to accept that.
I have made friends with Neville Longbottom and Hermione Granger, yes, Father, a muggle-born, and no, I will not stop being friends with her. Hermione is a fine witch who shows remarkable abilities that would make our ancestors proud, despite her blood status. Neville, on the other hand, is a shy boy, but with proper guidance, shall become a formidable wizard.
My friendship with Harry is coming along nicely and will continue to be that way. I do hope that you enjoy your day, Mother, Father. I will write to you soon.
Your loving son,
Draco

To my son,
I am very proud of you, Draco. Your father is currently seething at your Sorting and wishes for a re-Sorting. It has been many centuries that a Malfoy and Black have not been sorted into Slytherin. Do give your Father time, he will come through, I will make sure of it.
I will be honest. I do not appreciate your comradeship with the Mudblood. It will do the Malfoy and Black lines good if you cease your relationship with her immediately. Your comradeship will affect our family's standing with the others, and that will not be permitted. I have indulged you long enough, son. The Longbottom boy, on the other hand, will also not be acceptable. That boy comes a line of Light wizards, our enemy. Cease your comradeship with him at once, Draco.
Do stay safe, I will write to you soon.
Your irritated mother,
Narcissa

Son,
Ravenclaw? I am disgusted. Although you have not shamed the Malfoy name by your Sorting, you have shamed it by being friends with a Mudblood and the son of our sworn enemies. Cease contact with them immediately. You will be punished if you choose not too. I will not have my son and heir to tarnish the proud name of Malfoy with your actions. Do know that I do approve of your friendship with the Potter boy. It would do you good if you spend time with the sons and daughters of our allies. For example, your fiance, Ms. Parkinson. I am very pleased to know that her father did letter me wishing for the marriage contract between you both to be obsolete.
Do listen to the words of your father.

Mother and Father,
I will not break my friendship with any of them. I have already given them the right to call me my given name, and they did as well. And Father? I do not care about what punishment you have in mind. For this is my life and destiny, and I will do what I please with it.
If you excuse me, I must head to class now.

Son,
Is that how it will be? Then, son, you will be permitted to join your mother and me during the holidays. I hope that you will reflect on the consequences of your words.
- Father

Draco,
I am very disappointed in your decision. Your father has a point. Do reflect on your actions.
- Mother

Mother and Father,
That is all right with me. I'll happily stay at Hogwarts. As so, have a Happy Christmas and New Year without me then.
- Draco
Author's Note: SURPRISE! I updated a new intermission chapter. I hope this clears up what has been going on with the Malfoys. I'll hopefully update again soon, but I'll see you all soon!
