࣪𖤐 Y5 | 18 . The letter

Dear our favourite werewolf,

We just wanted to reply to your recent letter, even though we wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to read it. We can't even express how sorry we are about Sirius. We really hope you're doing okay, Cassie. You don't deserve this.

We read yours and Enzo's letters— and we have nothing else to say than you're so right. We're only sorry that this has led to the downfall of our friendship, because being your friend has been a blessing.

We each wrote something for you— we've done the same for Enzo in his letter, and we hope this finds you in good spirits, Cass.

I love you so incredibly much, Cassie. Never forget that. I'll admit, I've been a horrible friend to you at points, but none of that meant that I didn't love you. You were my bestest friend and I can't believe this is all happening. I don't want to lose you— but I know it's for the best. I just need one thing from you, Cassie. I need you to promise me that once this is all over, we'll be friends again. Because, honestly, I'm not sure I'll be able to do this without my best friend. I also need you to promise me that you'll take care of yourself. I saw how Cedric's death destroyed you— I don't want you to go through that again, Cass. I love you so much. Never forget that.

From Theo;
I'm so fucking sorry. You shouldn't have to be going through this again, Cassie. You've lost so much and I can't even put it into words how sorry I really am. You deserve so much better, rors. I'm also sorry that it's had to get to this point. I never thought I'd receive a letter like that from you before. But I need you to know that I'll also never forget the times we laughed together. Your friendship was the light in my life. When days got dark, you helped me out. I can speak for everyone here when I say that you're the most caring person out of all of us. I love you lots, Cass, and I'm going to miss you. But hopefully, once this shit is over, we can sort everything out.

Mattheo wrote;
I don't even know how to say this, Cassie. I don't know how I can say all this knowing that you're grieving like that again. I'm so fucking sorry. If I could do anything to change it, I swear to you I would. Because, honestly Cass, you deserve the absolute world. You saw me for who I really was. You chose to look past the bad parts and embrace the very little good parts I had. You saw in me what most people in this fucking school fail to see. You understood me. You empathised with me. I don't know how I'm going to go my every day life without you, Cass. I know theres nothing I can do to change your mind, but I just need you to know that I will always be here. I understand why you're doing this but please don't forget about me, Cassie. I love you so much I can't even put it into words.

Blaise said;
You have no idea the impact you've had on my life, Cassie. You spun my whole life around with just a few words. "Your name is Zabini Blaise?" I knew then that you would become one of my absolute best friends. I can't express how truly sorry I am for all of this, Cassie. You deserve the world and I honestly believe that you'll be okay. You survived it once, you can do it again. You're the strongest person I know, and I'm not even just saying that. You inspire me every single day. I love you so much it's inhuman, Cassie. Thank you for being my friend.

We know this is very typical of him, but Draco refused to write anything. Mattheo punched him in the face after storming to his dorm once you'd sent the letter. He won't even look at us now.

We're all truly sorry, Cassie. However, we all have strong faith that you'll find the light and be happy once again. But, we need you to know that we love you more than anything.

Just know that one day, you'll be on your broom representing England for the world cup, and we'll be in that crowd— and God, we'll be cheering.

Goodbye, Cassiopeia.
