Everyone knows what you've done by now. Honestly, all you had to do was to make someone else get detention - you didn't have to go and make such a huge statement in the process! Now everyone thinks you're after Hydra, and if that's true it's completely daft. Everyone knows that Hydra was meant to be on the council, along with Draco, and that's why those two have been working together. So now you'll have both Hydra and Draco after you. Is that really what you want? They killed an acromantula together! And Hydra's a legilimens, besides, so you'd better start practising occlumency now (if she hasn't already legilimised you without you knowing it - they say that's how she got Remy Jugson his detention. She just gave him a look in Charms class and he started shouting about how she was reading his mind. Created a bloody great ruckus, from what I've been told).
It isn't very clever to have F-F on your bad side, either. I know how mild-mannered and polite he is, but there's a reason Professor Dolohov favours him so much. And he's obviously not afraid of anything, if he carries around with Auror Lestrange's daughter like that.
Anyway, I'm sorry if I sound so critical, but you're my cousin and I want you to do well. Perhaps you were feeling desperate because you hadn't really staked yourself out as a serious contender? Only now you might have just staked yourself out as desperate, which can't really look good, either.
Draco's awfully unimpressed. I'll try to see if I can soften him up, but it won't be easy. He's a very determined person, and what's going on with his father is only making him moreso.
Best,
Daphne
