Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

Coast clear?

On my way home, unless she's still there. Mind you, if she is, perhaps you're ready to have me frighten her away.

Silly, she's been gone for ages. Is that why you weren't home for supper?

It was--surreal.

Come along and I'll tell you about it.

[alt_crouch_jr]

There's always work to be done. No difficulty filling the time.

Expect you found it more challenging. Whatever did you talk about? Her shop? The doddering husband? The sprog? Why she's still emptying rubbish in the Ministry by night?

Tosha home?

[alt_narcissa]

Why am I always so attracted to chaps who work themselves to an early grave? Tosha's still out, I think. Or at least I haven't seen him this evening. I was quite alone for dinner and you know how much I detest dining by myself. I should be quite cross with you but I'm not in the mood to be cross.

Actually, it was rather pleasant. Not that you and Tosha are unpleasant company, of course, but - well, sometimes having another woman to talk to is simply refreshing. And while she's undoubtedly rather gauche, there are occasional glimpses of Andi there that -

Do you know, it makes me wonder, what is it that afflicts so many purebloods, that they become fascinated with inferior stock. Is it a failure of blood? Certainly not environment. And yet...it's such a typical story.

And the husband is apparently not all that doddering. Or she's found a bit on the side and doesn't want to admit it. She's expecting -again.

[alt_crouch_jr]

Tosha know you're attracted to him?

Or is it me you mean?

Believe I'll come home and find out. Since you're not in a mood to be cross.

[alt_narcissa]

Well, he is a dashingly attractive man. Pity he has never had much interest in anyone that I've been able to determine.

As for you, do come home. And find out.
