Holiday

[alt_harry]

So I am on holiday. Mr Malfoy took Draco and I up to the fish and chips place so that we could have lunch and read or write in our journals. So I'm writing. I like the place. The girl is nice and she doesn't look at me like I'm a freak. Or a celebrity.

Yesterday we saw a lighthouse. It was thirty metres tall, but what was most fun was that we got to ride brooms to it and all around it when we got there. Draco's mum wasn't along then either. So Mr Malfoy showed us all sorts of really wizard broom tricks. I thought I knew a lot of them, but he knows more. Anyhow then we got to the lighthouse. It was pretty wizard too. I'm glad I'm not a Muggle so I don't have to ride in a boat though. Once thirty two ships all sank there in one night. That's what they said anyway. 

Mr and Mrs Malfoy were fighting. I'm not sure why but it sounds like about security. I hate security, I wish I didn't have to have it. I know I get cross when I can't do things I want to do; I suppose that's what they were fighting about. I almost wished I hadn't come since it made them so unhappy. But the lighthouse was wizard, and I really did want to go on holiday.

It's too bad that Granger isn't along, though she wouldn't have got to see the lighthouse. Mudbloods can't ride brooms except as a passenger. And not usually then even.

I'm sorry I'm not along too. I would have liked to see the lighthouse, but mostly I prefer helping you. I like serving the Lord Protector, but you are my master.

Harry, dear, your Uncle and I were not arguing at all. I was cross with the person in charge of your security because he left out some important details I ought to have known. But no one will be unhappy anymore - and it's not an imposition in the slightest to have you along. We wanted you to come particularly.

I take it this is the young lady you and Draco talked about at supper last night? The very attractive one? Mind you are polite and don't pester her too much; I'm sure she's got a young man who might get jealous if you monopolise her attention.

As Mrs Malfoy says, Harry, we were not unhappy about having to provide for your security - it is a price well worth paying to be able to bring you along.

I had thought perhaps we could go on the water to-morrow, but if you are not keen for a boat ride, then perhaps not. It sounds as if you and Draco could eat fish and chips every day and be content.

Hiya.

Sounds like you're doing some nift stuff. Even with the security and wotnot. We're off to Stornoway on Wednesday to see my brother and find out about the dragons they keep there. I'm taking my broom, too.

Anywiz, you'll have to tell me all about the seaside when I see you on the train. And I'll tell you about the dragons and the handlers and the preserve and all.

Uncle Razzer isn't really that young, though, Mother.

[alt_rabastan]

Oi!

[alt_lucius]

And I should think you'd be more worried about competing with him for her attentions than a local boy!

[alt_narcissa]

Indeed? Then you've even more reason to be careful.

[alt_rabastan]

Cheers, love! Truly, I'm not sure what your son believes to have witnessed, other than the young lady serving me slightly more butterbeer than she served them.

[alt_draco]

Well, no worries there. I'm not competing with anyone for some chip girl.

[alt_narcissa]

Oh, no doubt you've done nothing to encourage the young witch. Just remember that we are not in the most progressive city of the realm, and you have no more desire for a wandpoint wedding, I'm sure, than any of us.

[alt_rabastan]

Certainly not! I've got plenty of other things on my pitch to tend to at the moment.

[alt_narcissa]

Quite sensible, my son.

[alt_narcissa]

Naturally.

[alt_harry]

I suppose it just sounded like you were arguing because you were so cross.

I don't fancy her Mrs Malfoy.

[alt_harry]

I DO NOT FANCY HER AND YOU KNOW IT DRACO

[alt_draco]

I DIDN'T SAY THAT YOU DID!!

Anyway, do you reckon Uncle Razzer fancies her? He ate a LOT of chips.

[alt_harry]

Oh. All right then.

I bet he does.

[alt_narcissa]

Of course not, Harry.

Only you both seemed to spend a lot of time describing her ... uniform.

[alt_rabastan]

All right then, you pair of nits. I happen to eat a lot of everything, not just chips, so stop your speculating.

Speaking of, I've got chocs, if anyone wants.

[alt_harry]

Yes please!

[alt_crouch_jr]

I'm prepared to defend your honour if it comes to that.
