Forgiveness

(Chapter takes place after the events of 5th year, over the summer)

My Dear,

How do I forgive the unforgivable?

P.S. my apologizes for the state of this paper...hard to control the tears.

O.G.

Beloved Friend,

I don't have an answer for you, I wish I could use my intellect for something useful to help you. I myself, am at a crossroads of how to handle it. I miss you.

P.S. my paper is in much the same state I am afraid.

I.A.

My Dear,

At least we kept our mutual acquaintance in school, my heart couldn't have taken it otherwise. I'm glad you helped me see reason too.

P.S. I miss you terribly. If I didn't live where I did, I would invite you for a visit.

O.G.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beloved Friend,

I would be completely despondent if we had taken any other course of action. I feel as if I failed our acquaintance, I am so terribly sorry. I don't know how you don't hate me.

P.S. if I invited you here my mother would never let you leave. It's all I would hear about until the end of time.

I.A.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Dear,

I could never hate you, just as I can't find it in my heart to hate him. Rather, I am finding there is still a fond affection for him despite everything. Have you heard from him?

P.S. I would gladly be trapped with you forever if it made you happy. However I know you well enough that it would not.

O.G.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beloved Friend,

No, I have not heard from him. I know I shouldn't, but I keep an eye out for an owl from him every single day. I wonder how poor A.S. is handling this?

P.S. are you also missing the cinnamon rolls from Hogwarts terribly? My only comfort is your letters.

I.A.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Dear,

I think you have had a great idea, let's plan a visit to see A.S. We can check on her, and also get to see each other. I will send her an owl straight away.

P.S. I miss the rolls almost as much as I miss you. I miss nothing as much as the three of us being together.

O.G.

My Dear,

What a bittersweet afternoon. I don't believe I quite have words for it. I will continue to make visits to A.S. to see that she is cared for. I was able to arrange for a house elf to go take care of her daily. It helps the house elf so they are no longer subjected to the treatment here.
