Prologue
Found in the desk of the late Lucius Malfoy by Hermione Malfoy (nee Granger)
Dated 2015 (Scorpius 14 years old)
Dear Grandpere,
I’m sorry to hear that you are sick. We are taking a few months off school to come and stay with you at the Manor. Mum says that you have a cursed mark on your arm from your olden days with the Dark Lord and it’s poisoning you. But there’s a cure for it, right? You just have to take some potions and do some regenerative healing spells and you will be all good. That’s what Dad tells me when I’m sick.
Will see you soon.
Love,
Scorpius

Dear Nanna,
We are safely back in Melbourne and started school again.
I miss Grandpere. I’m sure you miss him a lot too. Did you change your hair to be all blonde to remember him? I’m glad my hair is blonde because it came from Grandpere.
At Grandpere’s funeral, I heard people call Dad ‘Lord Malfoy’. No one calls him Lord here in Melbourne. What is it for? Scorp says it’s because Dad was Grandpere’s heir. What is an heir? And now Scorpius is one too, he said. Whatever that means. He seems all serious and secretive now and it’s a bit annoying. I want to know stuff too! He’s wearing this huge ring with a big M on it. Can I have one too? The M stands for Malfoy right? I’m a Malfoy!
Miss you so much, Nanna!
Love,
Cassie xxx
