Dear Father,
I know you are well. Don't ask me how, I just know. I also know that Mother is well too, because you wouldn't let anything happen to her. Claire and I are perfectly healthy and happy, mostly in her case.
I'm sure you've already know about her trouble-making in Severus' class along with HIM. But you can ease your mind, she managed to slither away from major punishment, in this case she and HIM weren't allowed a pass to Hogsmeade. Your lesson actually worked! (-smirk-)
Unfortunately, they landed in detention as exchange. She had to help Hagrid to take care magical creatures in the forest, while HE helped Professor Sprout in the green house. Wait, I said it wrong. Perhaps, it's an unfortunate thing for HIM, but it's obviously a fortunate thing for her. You know why? (I know you're curious! –grin-) She got herself a baby UNICORN as her familiar. A UNICORN! Can you imagine it? It's so…UNFAIR! So, father you know that I love you dearly, and I know too that you love me dearly. Would you get me one?
Oh yeah, there's another thing. She made a ruckus one day during her detention. She lost control over her elemental power, and you know what she did? She roasted a Blast-Ended Skrewt with a super big lightning strike. Blaise, stupidly, had to try it and said that it tasted like a grilled lobster. I mean, please! A Skrewt? Ewww! What kind of person would actually try it? Okay, I know the answer already. It's Blaise.
Well that's it for now, as I feel that my eyes won't cooperate any longer. I hope this letter reaches you safely, and give Mother a kiss and hug from me.
Sincerely your heir,
Draco L. Malfoy.
N.B : I really mean it when I ask for a unicorn, Father.

Father,
We're fine here at Hogwarts although the conditions are definitely not up to my standards. I mean, who likes rainy days like these? I prefer the warm sunny day where I can play quidditch or at least I can go flying. It's so boring always being in the dorm.
I don't know how I should feel nowadays, pleased or bothered at the fact that Claire is getting really close to the muggleborns and HIM. Well… Longbottom isn't actually a muggleborn, but still… He's a clumsy, good-natured, extremely shy Gryffindor. A Gryffindor, mind you! So are the others. Now, before you get angry with me and suddenly feel the urge to lock me in the attic, I would like to say that I really have no problem about HIM getting close with her. No, I do understand the importance of HIM to her. But the muggleborns… She's an Aiden for Merlin's sake!
And about the school. There's something… Odd that happened. Not that I mind, in fact I'm extremely gleeful with it. The thick, red-headed, weasel family finally got to pay! Ha ha... Almost all the muggleborns and halfbloods are currently disappoint with them, mostly with that loudmouth ickle Ronniekins! Surely you know the case that happened two weeks ago between Weasel and Granger. In summary, I'm perfectly pleased at how the things turned out in here. Everything was happening in our favour. Just like you said, Father.
Send a hug and kiss for Mother, tell her that I really miss her and her chocolate cookies. I would love to have another pouch of them.
See you in the next letter, Father, I really hope that you're well.
Currently missing home,
Draco L. Malfoy
N.B : Remember the Unicorn I told you about in the last letter, Father? It seems that the Unicorn not just an ordinary Unicorn. It has wings! You know what that means? Claire got a bloody Pegasus! That's totally UNFAIR!!!!! How could she be so bloody lucky?! And sorry for the language.

Hello Father,
I'm currently in Claire's common room doing our homework together. And no, Father, unfortunately, when I'm saying 'together' it doesn't mean only the two of us. Yes, there are nine of us here, and now Claire is trying her best to actually teach Vince and Greg some knowledge. Not that I insult them about being stupid, I merely state the fact that they're so slow sometimes. The good thing about them is they know where to lay their loyalty.
Speaking about it, they've informed me that even in my House the students are divided into three groups. The first is they that are the idiotic followers of Claire seeking fame and claim. The second are they who are extremely jealous with Claire's own existence, should I add that most of this group consists of girls. And the third are the ones who actually see the reality, as in the fact that right now we're in the middle of danger and war, and they refuse to have the Mark on their arms. The last group is extremely in small count of people Father, but as we hope they're not totally lost.
Surprised, huh? To know that both of them could actually get this kind of information, they turned out to be very good spies, unlike their fathers. But that's what worries me. What could be in store for them once the war is over? They may get a full pardon due to their contribution in war, but in exchange for what? Their family. Just like you and mother for me. I tried to stand in their shoes, and I realized it's such a horrible fact. Even though a Slytherin only looks out for himself, I still think that family IS important. I never want to lose you and Mother. I'm scared, Father. I'm scared for this war.
Okay, enough rambling. That's kinda depressing, isn't it? Shall we talk about other things? Let's see, what things I haven't told you yet? Oh, do you know that Claire and HIM now getting along very, very, very well? I mean it literally Father, it's three times closer than the first time they become friends. I caught them few times in free periods where they sat and quietly talking about random stuff with such a peaceful atmosphere between them. Good news right? Now we can get rid of the possibility of HIM getting a heart attack when we tell him the truth. Well, I don't count the hyperventilating reaction in this though.
Oops, want to know what I see now, Father? I just saw HIM blushing. I know it's not a strange occurrence, but somehow I just can't settle it with myself. Why? Because HE got a blush by Claire's smile. Now I'm confused. It's a good thing that they're on good terms with each other, so what am I caring about it?
Your Sole Heir,
Draco L. Malfoy

Father, I won't talk any nonsense in this letter. Just straight to the point. I'm worried about the 'good progress' that we talked about before. It's definitely not good at all. Somehow I smell 'trouble' in their relationship. HE showed THOSE forbidden signs. You know what I mean? Those signs Father. I'm afraid they will end just like their ancestors. I'm desperate. You know that I have some kind of feelings for one of them, and I don't want to lose them to such a cruel fate. I don't wish it even though HE is my rival.
What should I do? HE doesn't let me enter their world. HE is getting possessive each day, glaring at me openly whenever I get closer to her. HE often tries to interrupt my conversations with her.
The problem is Claire, being Claire, is oblivious about it. Or should I say she's ecstatic with the prospect of getting closer with HIM. I know what she feels. She sees HIM as a sister should see HIM. You don't have to worry about her. Our main concern here is HIM. Surely HE misinterprets her affection into something more than a sibling's love.
Father, give me help. Should I spit it out in front of HIM to make HIM realize that it's wrong? For Merlin sake, Harry is Claire's twin brother. They're practically one person split into two. Father, we have to let HIM know as soon as possible, before it gets to be too late.
Your Son,
Draco L. Malfoy

Keep a close watch on them, Draco. Do every thing in your means to stop HIS growing feelings. You know the consequences if the curse repeated. For HE is the only one to rid us of the Dark Lord, he must not die. You know your job as a Malfoy, don't force me to do my worst duty and kill the Heiress. I trust you, Draco. Keep them apart. You have my permission to do anything in your power. Secure HIM, Draco. HE's the Heir and HE's the savior.
Lucius A. Malfoy
