Owl: To Professor McGonagall Date: September 7, 2001 Characters: Draco Malfoy, Minerva McGonagall Location: Owl! Private/Public: Private Rating: - Warnings: - Summary: Draco decides it's time he looked for answers. Completion: complete
Draco drummed his fingers thought fully on the desktop as he considered how to phrase his missive to McGonagall. Since the Prophet's article about Voldemort's return there had been nothing. No official statement from the Minister, no further information. Unless one counted that ridiculous rumors clogging the grapevine.
The only thing they knew, for more or less certain, was that Voldemort had returned at Hogwarts. Where he had fallen. So it was with reasonable certainty that Draco assumed that talking to McGonagall would lead to some answers. If she obliged him with a meeting.
Well there was only one way to find out.
Headmistress McGonagall,
I was tempted to make polite small talk and try to go about this subtly, as would be fitting to my former house. But I realized that the presence of this missive would make any attempt at subtly redundant.
So I shall simply, and humbly, request a meeting. At your discretion.
--Draco Malfoy
Draco opened a window, whistling for Artemis, as he waited for the ink to dry. He read over the note before rolling sealing it. Artemis waited patiently on his rest just inside the window. Draco tied the missive to Artemis' leg and instructed him to take it to Hogwarts.
