From what I recall, that was made for the express purpose of in the event that I did "something stupid". I hardly thought that showing up on your doorstep would be something that inspired any emotion except panic.
Please remember I'm a working woman and magical accidents and catastrophes demand no small amount of attention. Which means sometimes I get caught up and forget.
I'm not your puppet, Malfoy. I'm fine, I just got caught up in a work situation again. I've written you back now.
Oh I do apologize if I read "I insist you fix this problem at once" as being written in a controlling tone.
Clearly it's not a crime to care, seeing as I never stated it was. If I remember correctly - again - it was I who voiced concern for you the last time we were together. I assume since I haven't gotten called to any Malfoy residence that you haven't gotten cursed again?
You'd be surprised at how different I can be when I'm not being antagonized.
I'm glad you took precaution. I hope the gift was worth the stress.
The holidays were rather lovely, thank you for asking. I didn't work over Christmas, I had that day off to spend with my family. That reminds me, Mama also told me to include leftover sweets to any friends who correspond with me seeing as she grossly overestimated the collective size of our family's appetite.
I'm surprised you didn't owl me when I didn't respond quickly. I'm starting to think you're losing your touch, Malfoy.
As to your question of what would lead me to believe you antagonized me all the time — should I answer categorically or alphabetically?
It seems I forgot to include the sweets, and for that I apologize. See? — that wasn't too bad, apologizing. Perhaps you should try it sometime.
