Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

I did receive your PM. Don't want you to think I missed it.

I wasn't in a position to answer then.

I hope you understand.

Out of the blue, I learn that it was my father, who hired that assassin to kill me, the one who accidentally murdered my mother, instead. And that my mother got the polyjuice that allowed her to impersonate me... from within the Ministry, from DoM's supply, from that bloody, twisted nightmare, Bale... who supplied her because he was her lover.

And you suggest that I go somewhere peaceful and recover my bearings.

For someone who knows me very well, you don't.

But, really, Narcissa. Don't trouble yourself. You've finished with me, and, of course, I can hardly blame you. I've given you ample cause to feel neglected.

Dearest.

I do know you. You've made no secret of your intentions toward Bale and, truly, that's exactly why you need to stop. Think. Yes, you could do whatever you like and Mafalda will not stand in your way. Claudius would give you whatever licence you require, make up any story for the Prophet.

And that's precisely why you need not to do it. You'll be in their debt, and you'll be betraying a vulnerability that later you will regret having shown. You'll be in a considerably weakened position, the next time you need MLE's protection.

As for me, you seem in quite a hurry to imagine yourself altogether alone. Finished? No, love. I thought ours transcended mere attachment, or was that just something you made up at the time and have forgotten?

I suppose it would be easier to cut yourself off from everyone who cares in order to turn into the worst version of yourself. The problem is that you still affect those you leave behind.

I don't wish that token you gave me to bring me unwelcome news.
