Ah, Christmas time. I'm sure you'll all be spending time with your lovely families. |

I've been thinking of retirement. |

I am usually a man who has everything together. I know what I believe. I was always so firm in my beliefs for so many years. Everything I've done was to protect my family. To keep them safe. It seems as if I can't even do that anymore.
I'm losing faith. |

I believe I'm the only pureblood who doesn't feel the need to have the company of some awful mudblood servant. |

I must say that I've been far too busy to even look at this journal. Many more important things to be doing. Taking care of some nasty business that needed to desperately be handled with. But, my Easter holiday was delightful. I hope that everyone else did just as well as my family and I did.
My new assistant was also quite delightful in his training. I look forward to working with him in the future.
Which, while I'm thinking about it. Miss Bundy. Will you be seeking a summer job? I have something for you, if you'd like it. |

I don't know what to think these days, what with everything that is going on around me. I am a firm believer in all things that the Dark Lord has set before me. I want this to be a better world for my son, but he cannot see this. His idea of a better world differs so much from mine that I'm not sure how we'll coexist. But, as his father, I am trying extremely hard to keep both he and my wife happy.

Will you be coming home for Easter holiday? Your mother and I would be happy to see you.

You should be receiving a package with new robes for you to wear during your internship. If they don't fit, please let me know.

I'll be returning to work tomorrow after a weekend at home. I'm hoping there aren't large piles of work for me to do. I'm looking into hiring an assistant, if anyone is interested in the position. Please leave a note here. |

| Open statement to all who care to hear it. |

I am a man in a high placement job. I work for the Wizengamot and I have built a life for my wife and son that I found fitting. A life that would give both my son and my wife the things they needed and wanted. At least, I thought I had, but my parenting has been under scrutiny for the last couple of days. There are things that I want to address.
I love my wife. Narcissa has been my one and only companion for over fifteen years. She is the mother of my son. The son that we both love and care for. Recently, our family has been having problems. Yes, I'm admitting that. But, all families have their problems from time to time, so I dare you to judge us. But, I won't have any of you sending owls and messages to my wife and I, giving your judgements of how awful of parents we have been. Because, as I recall, I've given Draco all that I have to give.
I do not regret any of my actions. I do what I have to do to survive. Some of you could benefit from the very same actions.
Draco,
You can continue to play the victim card and say that your mother and I don't love you. That is fine. You can tell everyone in the world how awful of parents we are to you. But, if you can honestly look back and say that I've never done anything for you that doesn't include buying you things, you are sorely mistaken.
From the time you were born, both your mother and I have sidetracked our lives to insure that you had the proper amount of time spent with the both of us. I took time off work for the first three months of your life. And as a man in my status, I should not have been changing diapers and warming bottles up at four in the morning. But, I did. Because you are my son and I never had that attention as a child. We nurtured you. We brought in the best Governess's that we could to tutor you.
It is no secret that when you were sorted into Ravenclaw, it hurt. To think that my son and I couldn't share our house pride together did seperate us in a sense. But, I didn't rip you out of Hogwarts and send you to Durmstrang, did I?
The fact of the matter is, Draco, that you are my son. And I know I don't say it often enough, or at all, but I love you. You have been a good son and I have done all that I can do for you. I don't know any better way. And you can listen to what Nymphadora or to what anyone else has to say, because I don't know how to please you. And part of that problem is because you're so ungreatful for everything you do have. You focus on what you don't have, which isn't nearly as big as what you do.
Please, Draco. Before you make rash decisions, think it over. I do not wish for my family to be ripped apart because of selfish actions on anyone's part. |

I am not entirely sure of what to do with myself, once my child and my wife are gone for a good portion of the year. I might have to find other ways of keeping myself entertained. Pity there isn't a position at Hogwarts for a man like myself. |

I'd mark that up as another victory, wouldn't you? The German government could learn a thing or two from us and Lord Voldemort. All good things come to those who wait. |

I've found that I can't function while shopping without Narcissa. Which makes it even more difficult when deciding what to buy for her. I always buy her jewelry and I thought that I would change things up a bit this year. Hopefully, she approves.
Bellatrix, would you like a human skull this year or would you rather hunt one yourself? |

It amazes me, the lack of discipline our children seem to have these days. You would think that, having been given a great oppurtunity to have Dolores Umbridge as part of their school, the children would be more thankful. Instead, they are running about, from what I've heard at the ministry, complaining about the woman.
Dolores is a fine example of what the students need in order to focus on a great task at hand. I do not understand why a little hard work and structure bothers our children so much. I think we've let them get far too lazy. They've all become brats who whine about learning. They should feel lucky they've been given the privilage.

I don't believe I've ever been so disappointed in all of my life. If I would have ever done anything remotely close to this to my father, I probably wouldn't be standing here today. It's unbelievable, after all you do for your child, that they could betray you in such a way.
And while I've never been able to tell him, I do love Draco. I'd never be able to tell him that, though. My father never told me that he loved me and look how well I came out. I do blame this on Narcissa, however. Too much coddling of the boy has made him soft and cowardly. As I said, I'm disappointed.
Perhaps my wife and I will have to think about trying for another heir.
[/private]
A great disappointment has come to my family. I suppose that's what happens when you spoil your child. |

While the Owl was a nice gesture, whomever sent it, I know that you were mocking me and my issue. Please. You could have at least wrote something worth my time. |
