Private to Sirius Black
Do you understand now what it feels like to be made to betray everyone you love?
I didn't realize at first exactly what she was doing. I didn't want to see it. I didn't want to see you. But Bella did it for me. So you'd understand.
How does it feel, Sirius?

I wish to thank everyone for their generosity, both in donations and bidding at the silent auction. It was obviously incredibly successful, and we have raised over 325,000 Galleons for the Society for the Protection of the Statute of Secrecy! On behalf of the SPSS, I would like to announce that we have successfully surpassed last year's 305,000 Galleons. My personal gratitude to everyone involved.
With another successful fundraiser completed, of course, comes much other work distributing and organizing the items, as well as sending the proper information to the correct parties. Now that it is all completed, I have decided to take the whole next week as as me time, starting today.
For example, I purchased a beautiful gold pram this morning. It is this lovely, delicate, classy thing which I simply cannot wait to use. I think that motherhood will suit me. That reminds me, once the week in which I do nothing but pamper myself is completed, I think I shall begin interviewing nannies. It isn't as though I can choose just anyone for my darling boy.
Oh, yes, in case I haven't announced it, Lucius and I are expecting a son. How wonderful that our first will be our heir!

I am sick of this. I'm bored, Lucius' parents are driving me up the wall, and I have long since tired of everyone being angry with me. It isn't fair. I did nothing wrong. Getting kidnapped wasn't my fault. If they want me to be able to defend myself, they should train me to be a dueller not a socialite. I swear I will lose it if I'm confined to house arrest much longer.

Private to Lucius
Evangeline is throwing a bridal shower for Madeline on July 22nd. Clearly I'm expected to attend. Will my house arrest be complete by that point, or shall I send my regrets?

Planning is coming together for the high tea. It is only two weeks away now. While we have gotten some wonderful donations, we are still accepting more. Please owl them directly to me, Narcissa Malfoy, if they are of a value over 1,000 galleons. Smaller donations and cash donations can be owled directly to the Society for the Protection of the Statute of Secrecy.
Thank you, everyone, for you generosity to such an important cause.

If she is telling the truth, if you... You've no idea what you've done.

Honestly, the hardest part about getting married is coming home after the honeymoon. But what sort of wife would I be if I kept my husband from his job? Politics are incredibly important right now, and the Ministry needs him. I wouldn't dream of being selfish.
Since we had to come back, at the very least we came back to good news. I am pleased to offer my congratulations and support to my dear friend Roslind Jugson and the very lucky--and worthy--Augustus Rookwood. So many marry beneath their own stature now, it pleases me to see such a fine match. Some are not neglecting tradition.
Since good news seems to be the trend of this entry, I would like to take this opportunity to announce the upcoming birth of Lucius' and my first child. We are pleased to be expecting a son in early December, and our families, the noble and prestigious houses of Black and Malfoy, have both expressed their clear pleasure at the arrival of an heir so soon.
On the topic of timing, and the opinions some felt they had the right to express, I have no comment.
I do, however, have much to do. No rest for the wicked, I believe the expression is. Though I hardly consider myself wicked. Of course, my annual event to benefit the Society for the Protection of the Statute of Secrecy is coming up in July, and I have much organizing ahead of me. This year it will be a high tea and silent auction. If anyone should wish to donate materials for the auction, please feel free to send an owl detailing your proposed donation to my personal assistant, Veronica Smethley. We won't auction off just anything, of course.
I think this week I will begin proper solicitations. It will give me a good excuse to visit all my favourite stores and store owners, after all. And I have a whole week of current events to catch up on.
Oh, and similar information, regarding the son Lucius and I will have as well as the SPSS fundraiser, can be found in this morning's Daily Prophet.
The life of a Malfoy looks like it will be no less busy than the life of a Black. At least until I become a mother.

Almost everything is ready. I may actually be able to sit back and breath before the wedding. There are still many little details to take care of, but nothing too terribly time consuming left. Just many, many little details.
If anyone who has received an invitation has any inquiries, special requests, or dietary restrictions, please contact my personal assistant Veronica Smethley. Similarly, anyone who was regretfully not invited due to the small and private nature of this wedding--a decision that I both stand by and also deeply regret as it means I will not be seeing many upstanding members of society, and even distant family members--but who still wish to send their regards, please address those to Miss Smethley as well. Rest assured, I will get them all, however, with all of the running about I do lately in preparation for said event, an owl to me is not always the best way to contact me directly.
Thank you for your understanding.

It is thoroughly exhausting to plan a wedding. But I think Rosalind and I finally found my designer, if not my dress. He had some lovely examples and some beautiful sketches. He assures me he will finish it with plenty of time to spare before the wedding and that he has dropped all other projects. Or rather his translator assures me. He himself is Italian.
I won't tell you who, however. I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise. I'm sure you're all just dying for details.
Private to Bellatrix
What are your plans for Tuesday? I have yet to choose a caterer, and time is running out. I require your assistance.
I also have invitations ready to send out, once you look over my guest list. You did offer to help with that as well, did you not? Veronica compiled a preliminary version, and I have made some changes, but as always, dearest sister, there are things you know that I do not. Your input would be most welcome.
End Private
Private to Lucius
I miss you. I feel as though I haven't seen you at all lately. Will you perchance indulge me with your presence, despite the late hour?
If it assists with your decision making, I am not ashamed to mention I am wearing something lacy and lounging in my bed at this particular moment, all just for you, of course. I feel, after the week I have had meeting and planning and organizing and finalizing, that perhaps it would serve me well to... unwind.

I can't believe what they did to London. I don't care about the muggles, but it's just so... extreme. It's so unnecessary. It's so... they destoyed the city. I don't understand why. It didn't accomplish anything. It was simple destruction.
Obviously it is necessary to protect our culture from the muggles, halfbloods, mudbloods, and bloodtraitors, I do not dispute that, but this? Everyone I know was involved, everyone in my life, it seems, took part in a massacre. How can anyone be so cavalier about killing? Muggles are inconsequential to me, but life is not. I love them, all of them, and I will stand by my family always. I just cannot help but feel some fear for my child, being brought into this. I am not second guessing my beliefs. It is simply a side-effect of the pregnancy, I am sure. What woman could contemplate motherhood and not feel hesitance at surrounding her child with such violence?
These musings are pointless.
I want cockroach clusters. I have never liked cockroach clusters. They're sickeningly sweet and completely plebeian and I want one. Or four. Now.
End Private
Private to Veronica Smethley
I require cockroach clusters. Please fetch me some immediately.

While I realize I have a reputation as a woman who always has a quote available, I fear I am at a loss for words in this instance. I have nothing reassuring to express, beyond my unwavering faith in our Ministry. I am sure they will do everything they can to locate those responsible and hold them accountable for such horrifying actions.
Such sentiments, I'm sure, do sound hollow in such troubling times. Please forgive me. I wish I had more eloquent placations to offer.
Private
I lie so prettily, don't I.

Congratulations to us. How exciting! I have many decisions to make these next few weeks. I wonder if, perhaps, I should temporarily hire an assistant. It might be beneficial to assist with planning the wedding.
There is so much to consider. Though I'm a fairly adept party planner, I find myself feeling slightly overwhelmed with the prospect of this, my own wedding. I desperately want it to be perfect. In times such as these, dark as they still are, it is something I can look forward to without reservation.
Alecto, Amycus, my dearest friends, I fear I will call on you many times in the coming weeks for assistance with decisions. And I shall start now. Are you available? I have many things I wish to discuss with you.

Good political turns always did put me in the mood for a party. I think I shall organize something fantastic. Just a bit of a forewarning if you want to get a jump on a new set of dress robes or an evening gown. It will be fabulous and quite short notice, so consider yourselves warned.
I shall send out invitations on Monday afternoon. If you don't get one, it's because you don't deserve one.

I will forever be astounded by the ignorance of muggles. A beggar approached me in the street this morning. Honestly, do I seem like the sort of woman who tolerates riff raff?
My life is feeling dreadfully dull lately. Perhaps I need to decompress at the waterfront estate in Monaco. Though, with the cool weather, perhaps it would be better to go further south. We do have that vineyard in Greece.
Bellatrix, I don't suppose you could tear yourself away from your life for a few measly days to accompany your darling little sister on vacation?
