A/N: Notes with the Prologue
The next day there were more new classes to attend. After a while, the classes began to blur together. But at lunchtime, Orion looked up as the owls swooped in to deliver their packages and letters. No Saiph. Oh, well. Perhaps tomorrow.
But there was no letter the next morning, either, and Orion began to wonder if he would even get a response from his father. Their first class of the day was History, and from what Orion and Draco had heard, there was not much to look forward to. And what they’d heard was right. Draco’s eyes were glazed by Binns’s first sentence, and Orion found it quite difficult to stay awake himself. When the bell rang, the entire class jumped, then scurried to pack their bags so they could escape the stifling room.
Draco and Orion walked quickly to their next class, and, still recovering from the stupor of Binns’s class, sat transfixed until lunchtime. Orion was so relieved to escape classes for the morning, that he forgot all about waiting for Saiph to appear. So, when she swooped down and landed by his goblet, he was startled enough to knock it over. The liquid spilled out onto the table, and dripped down into several people’s laps before he could stop it. He quickly mopped up the mess, receiving glares from Blaise and Millicent, then turned to his owl.
“Hey, Saiph!” he grinned. He pulled the letter off her leg, gave her a piece of ham, and then left the hall to read what his father had written. Draco, worried about his brother, followed closely behind, trailed by Vince and Greg. When they arrived at the common room, Orion plopped onto one of the couches in front of the fire, and began to read.
My Dear Orion,
I did indeed give your Headmaster the letter you received. Everything in it is completely true. I realize this is a shock to you, and I am sorry you had to find out this way. Given time, I would have been able to soften the blow for you, but Dumbledore gave me no choice, so you had to learn through a letter.
I have decided to come up to Hogwarts to visit this weekend. I would like to see how you and your brother are settling in. And we can speak more about this then.
Your father,
Lucius Malfoy
