Not that I'm not happy to see the older clothes suddenly gone from my trunk, but I'm confused.

Don't they all have their own clothes? I mean, Hermione does, right? Why didn't the professor?

Doubtless that is why your fourth and fifth boys have such a stellar record with the Headmistress. Clearly they have been allowed to 'straighten themselves out' as well.

I hope some of that good parental guidance you practise will be in the offing over the holidays? It would not be wise to tolerate this vein of youthful indiscretion for too long, lest it grow too deeply seated to redirect.

I should hate to think that a family who have produced so many pureblood scions might fail in its duty to its younger members, particularly on the matter of blood sympathy.

Peacocky arse.

My goodness, Malfoy. I'm astonished that you have the time to spare from your various committees, board of director meetings, publishing ventures and yes, guiding Miss Parkinson's moral education, to concern yourself with how I raise my boys.

But, you needn't worry about it. They know better than to tempt the wrath of their mother.

[alt_molly]

They will certainly be hearing from me.

Oh, rest assured, I take the moral education of all our children very seriously, let alone Miss Parkinson's. It is my solemn duty as a Hogwarts Governor, as well as my responsibility to the council, to monitor the journals for signs of sedition. Admittedly, as you say, these are but children. Which is why it is all the more crucial to ensure that their views are shaped and moulded correctly, now, while they are still forming.

Indeed, my own disappointment in Miss Parkinson's attitudes has once more proven that the best of families can suffer from a black sheep through no particular fault, save perhaps neglect. She too will be exposed to some specific instruction over the holidays and I pray you will do the same for your impressive progeny. Of course I need not tell you how best to guide one's children through the confusing influence of mudbloods and their trickery. Nevertheless the break provides ample opportunity to execute a correction in their courses.

Bollocks.

Well, I'd better leave him thinking he has the last word. Molly, I'd best write to the boys tonight again. The twins are used to drawing fire, Merlin knows, but Ron had better learn to watch his words and his step a bit more. Particularly if he keeps up this friendship with the Parkinson girl. I'm afraid it's drawing a bit too much of Malfoy's attention.

I'd like to choke the man.

But you're right. I've already sent off my letter and package to the twins, so you'll have to wait until Errol comes back, but I expect him back tonight.

Why, you miserable wanker! You puffed-up insufferable bigot! My boys are worth a dozen of yours!

Arthur, I don't know how you can keep from shoving that man's teeth down his throat.

Honestly, some days, Molly, neither do I.
