Dear Father,
I am sorry that I was rude and sassed so much. You are right. Uncle Sirius did something bad and we shouldn't talk to him. I will be a good boy.
-Draco
Dear Mother,
I am sorry that I made Father angry. I will be a good boy.
-Draco
Dear Draco,
It is good to know you are not entirely dim-witted, little boy. You best mind your tongue unless you want another silencing spell. Do you remember that, Draco? It was such a lovely week of peace for me and your mother. For now, you will be confined to the Stone Room for only two weeks. If you manage to behave and achieve top marks, we'll leave your punishment at that. If you displease me further, we will add time. Now do not bother me with your nonsense again. I will write you if I wish to speak to you.
-Father
Dear Draco,
I love you, darling, but you should mind your father. Why do you force him to punish you so? You are lucky he is allowing you to remain at Hogwarts. Do not speak to Sirius, Draco. No good will come of it for you or him. You know Father has a way of making people disappear and I am certain you do not want to be the cause of your uncle's disappearance, sweetheart.
Love,
Mother
Draco crumbled up his parents' letters. He tossed his mother's sweets out too. They made his stomach churn just looking at them. He didn't trust Lucius. He'd find more reasons to add time to Draco's punishment. The boy hoped Severus could intercede for him, but he knew his godfather's hands were tied too. Draco foolishly angered his father; his mother said so. No one could help him now.
He curled up on his bed in the dormitory. One whole week without his uncle. Sirius didn't even look in his direction during meals, which made Draco wonder if Sirius was mad at him too. Sirius always told him to keep his head down around Lucius, but Draco failed and now it was his fault Sirius was in trouble.
No tears escaped. Draco was cried out. He knew there was no escaping his father's wrath. He knew Uncle Sirius hated him. He knew he was all alone.
