     By the time Professor Malfoy showed up again, things were
marginally better in the Dursley household.  It had been decided

that

as Duncan hadn't turned out as Da had hoped, he and Mum would be
trying for a replacement.  It was technically against the law,

but

there were plenty of ways around that.

Been reading Ender's Game again have we?

   Actually, no.  I only ever read the novelette version.

     "Fortunately," said Professor Malfoy, with a thin smile,

"Harry

has set up a small trust fund for the boy's education."

Saw THAT coming. *shakes head as he imagines Harry's idea of a
"small trust
fund"*

    But not for use as pocket money, alas.

     "Did you write a book, Uncle Draco?"

     As Draco's face was so pale, it was easy to tell when

darkness

crossed it.  "Yes.  It was short, and did not sell well.  Let us
never speak of it again."

Let me guess: "The Amazing Bouncing Ferret"?

No.  This may or may not come up again.

     "Who's Harriet?"

     Draco blinked.  "I said Harry.  I'm quite sure I did."

Hello then...!

This will definitely be coming up again.

     "Oh."  The girl was nearly out of sight now, only visible by

the

red ribbon in her hair.

Nice in-joke :P

Thanks!

     Ollivander had returned, holding a slim box in his hand.  It
trembled as he took off the top and plucked out a wand. 

"Ollivander

says try this one.  Cedar of Lebanon, strong and aromatic.  Made

with

leviathan sinew, to resist breakage."

Branched out on his materials a bit, I see.

    *Everyone* has phoenix or dragon or unicorn.

      Mrs. O'Shaughnessy had a look of wonder on her face.  "I

*know*

you!"

      Draco puffed up a bit.

      "You're the lead singer for that toggle group our Morrigan
likes so much, what's it called again...?"

      The puffing was gone.

*SNRK*

Draco has accomplishments which he is justly proud of.  Toggle
singing is not one of them.

SKJAM!
