bat, grimm and the cat can fix it (Translation)

The last letter for the time being

Lucius was sitting in his library. Storm slept on his lap, and he was holding a good book in his hand. Of course he had renounced alcohol today too. He only drank it on special occasions.
.since little Niffler had moved in here, the blonde was looking forward to his end of the day. Finally there was someone waiting for him, even if it was a small animal.
.Of course, the man was also very fond of his house-elves, but additional company was nice too.

A soft knock made Lucius sit up and take notice, Storm also lifted his head.
"That's Hedwig," smiled the blonde.
.the next moment a house elf was standing in the room to let the owl lady in.
“Good evening, Ms. Hedwig. Did you have a comfortable flight?"
.the owl commented on the question with a low scream that could be considered a yes, and landed on Lucius ’armrest.
“Hello, my beautiful,” the man greeted her too.
.hedwig cuddled her head in her caressing hand and clicked her beak in greeting while Lucius took the letter from her. She also gave Storm a friendly look.
.lately the lady owl's visits had increased considerably. For this reason there were always owl biscuits and a bowl of water ready.
"Do you want to wait?" Lucius wanted to know.
.Hedwig nodded and switched to the table to nibble on the biscuits.
Harry's confidante wouldn't wait for an answer, Lucius always took his time. He didn't believe in quickly scribbled messages.
.but the white lady was always happy to keep the fair-haired company. It seemed as if the young wizard's affection had spread to his confidante.
Satisfied, Lucius leaned back and picked up the letter.

.good evening, Mr. Malfoy!

I hope the letter reaches you in the best of health.
Don't laugh, of course I know you're fine or Sirius would have already told me something. .but I've always wanted to write this sentence in a letter. I hope you will forgive me for the little joke.
But of course I only wish you the best. How else could it be?
There is a lot to talk about, by the way.

.First of all, I should send you a warm greeting from the Greengrass siblings. Then of course from Neville, Luna, Hermione and the Weasleys. The children, not the parents. Remus and the Veela sisters also convey their greetings. .not to forget my parents.
Somehow this list just keeps getting longer. See how popular you are.
But this time especially Dobby asked me to express his respect for you.
Hm, have I phrased that correctly now? .I don't know, but I'm sure you will understand.
The little elf was, of course, incredibly happy that his gifts were so well received by all of us. .and he thought it was particularly great that we wore the socks to the ball. When he heard that you had also carried his present, he was absolutely thrilled.
He is already working hard on more foot warmers. .besides, he would like to try his hand at other things as well. Sweaters come first.
By the way, Hermione put a flea in his ear that fell on fertile ground.
.she has suggested that he put his clothes up for sale. Now that all magical beings are on an equal footing, it will certainly not be long before the house-elves also come to their rights. .why should one continue to suppress these beings?
Then these narrow-minded wizards will have to provide clothing for their little helpers. .and what would be better then than a little house-elf who already has experience in making clothes?
One thing I can assure you, not only Hermione and Dobby are enthusiastic about this idea. We all support the proposal.

.and there I come to the next topic. Why have the house-elves been excluded from this law for so long? I don't just mean England now. .Other countries, which treat all other magical beings equally, made an exception for house-elves. Is that just because of the nature of these little beings?
Yes, house elves love work and they want to serve. .and clothing for free is disgrace to most of the people because then one is not satisfied with them. But hey, no elf asked their masters to be beaten. Everyone wants to hear praise for their work. .an Argus Filch is no exception. But both he and the elves only get scolded when they do something wrong. Correctly done work, on the other hand, seems to be a matter of course.
.therefore I would like to ask you to help the little guys to get their rights. They deserved it.
In addition, a satisfied employee is one who does his job well and with pleasure. I'm absolutely sure of that.
