Order Only: Private Message to Draco

[alt_hermione]

So. I know we haven't actually seen much of each other, these last few days. Between your working on the boxes and my work with Mr Snape on the Sleeper research, it's really surprising how time goes. Are you going to spend much time at Grimmauld in the next day or two? I was thinking of giving Bea one more tea party before Tonks has her baby, just to take a bit of a break from it all.

I was also thinking...you told your father you'd visit. And you haven't yet. It's not the most pleasant way to spend time, I know, but...if you wanted me to go with you, and wait on the ground floor or something, I'd make time for that.

Unless you'd rather go with Sarah. Or maybe you were lying, I mean, just telling him that to keep him complacent, and you don't want to see him at all. Which makes sense, if it's too painful. I mean, I don't ever want to see

But if you wanted someone to go with you, for moral support, I could do that.

I'll join you for the tea party so long as I don't have to wear ladies gloves, per Bea's preference. Not that I'm opposed to ladies gloves, but they're always too small for my hands and make the tea cups too difficult to handle, besides.

As for my father, well...thanks for the offer, truly - but it's not as if I'm afraid of going, or anything. It isn't even that it's unpleasant. It's not so terrible. It's so not so terrible that I don't really know what to do next. I expected him to hate me and he didn't, so what now?

If I did go, I'm not sure Sarah should come along. Or would, even. She's being funny about the whole thing, but funny in that way where she's clearly not saying what she's thinking, not even when I ask. It's not as if I expect her to like my father or want to get to know him, after all.
