"Stubbornness and stupidity are twins."

。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆

Anna stares blankly at the letter on her lap. After a few moments of silence, she sighs and she turns to her owl, Riddle. The owl excitedly hoots at her, tilting his head.

She gently grabs the jar at her desk and opens the top. Anna feeds Riddle a small treat, smiling fondly at him.

Riddle preens before flapping away.

Anna opens the letter, breaking the seal. It was her fathers crest. She slowly thumbs the seal, before she starts to unroll the letter.

My lovely Star,

All these years, you were my singular thought. Nothing in this world mattered to me more then your safety. Even if that safety came before your happiness.
I understand why you have yet to visit but I do hope I can see your lovely face soon.
I hope to hear a reply within the week.

With love,
Your father.

Anna sneers down at the letter and she roughly opens a drawer and she stuffs the letter inside, slamming it shut.

Despite everything, she couldn't bring herself to rip the letter.

Anna runs her fingers through her hair and she takes a deep and steady breath, allowing herself to relax. Anna contemplates writing back but decides that her father can wait. Anna has nothing to say to the man who ruined her life.

....

Anna makes her way to the Common Room, where she finds Mary sitting alone by the fire. With a hum she decides to sit beside her. "Hey." Anna says

Mary looks up and she smiles. "Hey Anna." Mary says

Anna returns her smile. "It's surprisingly quiet, where are the others." Anna asks "the boys are off pranking some poor sod, the girls are in the garden." Mary says

"How come you didn't join them." Anna ask "I'm allergic to some of the flowers there." Mary says

Anna pouts, "That sucks." Anna says, only to earn a small shrug. Mary hums, leaning further in the couch. "Yeah, how about you, how come you're in here all alone." Mary ask

"Felt like I needed a moment. I just received a letter from my father." Anna says, Mary straightens up, titling her head. "I thought he was dead." Mary ask, confused.
