Malfoy,

Ok, so I admit it was rather conceited of me to think you were reading the diary to learn about me. But I’m totally confused about why you were reading.

It’s obvious that you know a lot about the old watcher’s council because you’re right. They were pompous windbags who pulled little girls from their families so they could eventually die before they were eighteen. The old council is guilty as charged.

But you obviously didn’t pay attention to your reading or what we said while we were there. Things have changed. Because of Buffy, the Watchers learned that friends and family are an asset - they give the slayer ties to the world. It helps them remember why they are fighting. I’m sure you’ve read by now how many times Giles stood beside Buffy and helped her fight. He fought harder than any of us to help keep her alive.

That is how the new council behaves. The girls are not forced to leave their homes, they can stay there if they wish. If they stay at home, a watcher stays in the same town to help train them in case they are attacked for the sheer fact that they are a slayer. I’m sure you’ve noticed that we didn’t force the witches who became slayers leave school. I know they are still at Hogwarts because I talked to them while we were there.

But it sounds to me as if you have issues about home life, but I’m not going to pry, that’s personal stuff. I wouldn’t want to tell a near stranger about my personal life either.

P.S. I’m still curious about why you were reading the diary.

Malfoy,

Ah ha! Found out why you know so much about slayers. Right after I mailed that last letter I was given a stack of files about former potentials that we needed to look into. Imagine my surprise when I came across Seline Malfoy’s name. Why didn’t you just tell me your cousin was a slayer? Now, at least, I understand your feelings about watchers.

Honestly, I still think you’d make a great watcher. There are quite a few slayers who are witches who really need a watcher who understands their world. Not to mention you’re intelligent and great in Defense Against The Dark Arts. Are you sure you won’t reconsider joining us?

Summers,

Great, you found out my big secret, big deal. I read your sister’s diary to see what Seline’s life may have been like if she had been called. But then again, she’s been called anyways.

Seline was perfectly happy living her normal life until that stupid friend of yours cast that ridiculous spell. Now she’s back in that life that she had hoped she had left behind. So you see, even though you let the slayers stay with their families, you’re still wrecking their lives. You’ve shattered their entire sense of normality.

I guess my answer would be no. I’m not joining your silly little club and you can sod off.

Malfoy,

I guess I never thought of it that way before. But those girls still need to be trained. They may be strong and fast, but they are a target. So we have no choice but to train them. But I won’t bother you about becoming a watcher again. I can tell that you’ve made up your mind.
