Journal of Draco Malfoy

January 14, 1997

It\'s been a while since I\'ve updated. Holidays and such, and I left this at school. In retrospect, I suppose I could\'ve written something at the Manor and enchanted it into this, but I couldn\'t be bothered. Not much happened at home. Father is, of course, still in Azkaban, but we were allowed to talk to him a few minutes by Floo, thanks to some of mum\'s well-placed connections. He looks so... I realize the Dementors are no longer there, but I\'ve never seen him look so... haggard.

He said that Severus had come by a few times to report on my progress. I had no idea he was talking to my father at all. There seemed to be an expectation on his part that I\'d be preparing to be marked. It would appear that Severus gave him the impression that we\'re \"training\" in those bi-weekly meetings. The whole thing made me nauseous. I think he knows. He just kept staring at me, as if he could see exactly what had been happening. I felt naked. I hate it when people look at me.

I think mum knows, too. Maybe pretending not to know is causing her to drink so much. I spent much of the holidays ordering the house elf to clean up her sick and listening to her prattle on about how I was the head of the house now and that I needed to be more of a man. More of a man. She has to know what\'s going on, doesn\'t she? What else could that have meant?

It seems that the prospects for betrothal have dried up as well. It started to deteriorate when father was imprisoned, but now months pass and my letters to the young ladies remain unanswered. Mum took up the cause, writing to their parents, but to no avail. Now that I know that Severus is talking to my father, I wonder if he\'s written to those families. But then, he couldn\'t really tell them what he\'s been up to with me, right?

There are rumours afoot that the Ministry may make a paperwork play for the Manor. The property is not officially tied to the Black name. That makes it thorny, because my mother is thus far blameless and her property could in no way be pursued, but the Malfoy properties.... I can\'t imagine that they would toss a son and his mother out of their home. There again, it\'s not an organisation known for its mercy.

I\'m afraid my mum is deteriorating rapidly, so I picked up a few contacts from father\'s study and will be sending letters to see what can be done. I\'m tempted to bring this to Severus, but I\'m afraid to, as well. Who knows what more he\'d ask of me?
