A Riddle's Weakness | D.M

Hogsmead

Amethyst

As I choked on my coffee, everyone else walked in together. Pansy was limping and Tom had visible make-up on his neck.

I was still stunned by what he told me, I could only stare at them. Tom and Pansy sat across from us and Mattheo sat next to me, on my other side, rubbing my back. "You get used to it." He kissed my forehead and gave me a side hug.

Soon I was talking with Theo about classes and Theodore walked in sitting with Pansy and Tom.

"Hogsmead weekend. Who's going?"
"Our mother is sending them in the mail." Tom cairified.

I leaned on Theo's shoulder and let out a small huff. The hall was more filled now and I was geting more anxious by the second.

Soon owls started flying in with the post. I smiled when I saw our mother's owl, Olivia, she swooped down and droped the letter onto the table. Another circled around me and landed on my head. It's claws weren't sharp, they were well maintained and cut. I knew who's it was and I smiled, knowing that bastard was sending me something stupid.

I turned my head slightly and stuck out my arm. It flapped to perch itself on my arm. I smiled and brought it closer to my face, kissing his head. It's head snapped to me and closed his eyes, nodding to me. I took the letter from it's mouth and grabbed a peice of bread from the table, feeding it to him.

When he was content, he fluttered his wings and took flight out of the Great Hall through one of the windows in the ceiling. I smiled and opened the letter, already blushing.

Dearest Little One,

It is Viktor, Alexi, Marcos, and Maredith. We are all wishing you well, and hope your year so far.

-Viktor, Little one, I must inform you of the news. I will be participating in the world cup next year, I hope to see you there. And I have found your necklace that you lost, it is in the envelope, if you haven't noticed. Next, I fear that I may have caught feelings for someone, but Alexi says it is normal. I will await your responce. Wish you well and have a great year, my lovely тъмен ангел. ( Bulgarian: Dark Angle)

-Alexi, little one. You are missed dearly here, not only by me but by everyone you know and everyone who know's you. Your love was welcoming here. I miss you more than everyone though, you know that well. I have never wanted to be alone, but now I do since I cannot see you. I have no words for the loneliness I feel with you gone. I hope I can see you this summer, if not, I will see you when the sun is gone. With love, Alexi.

-Marcos, Hello, my love. I know you don't like anyone there but keep your faith and tell your twin that I say, Hello. I want to tell you all the things that have been happening here but we are in a rush to send this, so I'll tell you later. With love, Marcos.

-Maredith, sister. I have never seen something so beautiful until yesterday. I saw a spider-lily. And one of those flowers that only bloom at night. I was extremly satisfied with it's appaerence. The trio are well to me and love as if I were you. I wish you were here, though. I miss the nights we would go out and find little plants. I hope to see you this summer, your lovely sister, Maredith.

                                                   Signed, VK, AV, MV, MR.
