Mr Lucius Malfoy,
I am sorry that I did not seem to catch you this week to talk to you about your concerns about Zorah.
Master Malfoy is very good with her, he tells me he gets up early every morning now to help wash her and feed her, whereas before the house elf did it all and that was when she was playing up more.
However I am a little concerned that she is becoming desensitized to humans now and that is not good for her survival if she were to be ever set in the wild. This is what becomes of hand-rearing dragons from hatching and having a domestic life. At the reserve we have natural settings for them to live in and it is better for the dragon. This is what I feared the most when I heard about Zorah before she even hatched. But Master Malfoy is so passionate about it, I could not have the heart to tell him so.
The cave you have in the fields is also a little small and too warm and damp, which is causing her some discomfort. I have charmed the area to stay at a regulated cool temperature.
I do not think she will like the warm summer here in South England, I suggest she stays at the reserve for a few months during the hottest period of the year. Master Malfoy is free to visit when he likes. I hope he is happy with that arrangement. It is better than an unhappy dragon.
I also have provided a solution for the problem of her developing taste for your peacocks. I have given her a potion in her feed that dulls the smell of them and I suggest keeping breeding chickens nearby instead so that she can hunt for a snack without getting frustrated.
Also - please make sure security is tight over the Manor. If Zorah is spotted when she flies out of the grounds and reported to the wrong people, she could be hunted by illegal traders wanting her horns, which will easily fetch 10 000 galleons each. Of course, if the Ministry is reported, it is me that they will call, so you have no need to worry as I will smooth that over for you.
Again, sorry that we did not get to speak in person.
I wish you and your family all the best and please contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.
Kind regards
Mr Bojan Vladislav
PS. I am currently staying in Ireland if you need me to come back for anything, that would not be a problem.
