Here We Are Fighting For Our Lives

The letter - Chapter 12

Im sorry this will be another short chapter, so I'm just trying to defuse the tension! Sorry that was a bad joke. All jokes aside have a good time reading

September 7th, 1992

My fingers glided along the instrument's strings, maintaining the song's quick beat. Keeping pace with the notes while moving my bow back and forth, which led my arm to ache.

While the song was quick, it was calming. I shut my eyes and surrendered to the gentle hum of my violin, letting go of all my anxieties and concerns.

The music filled the room, enveloping me in a sense of peace and tranquility. The melody carried me away to a place where nothing else mattered except the harmony I was creating.

The song came to a slow halt, and I gradually slowed the bow as the tempo dropped.

I grinned as I opened my eyes and glanced at my instrument. They always took away the music that was the solution to my issues. I had faith that things would work out as long as I had my violin.

As I look around the room, I see a black owl with a piece of brown parchment, and I smile, knowing that it is from my father.

I slowly walked over the owl and gently took the parchment and quickly thanked the bird. I went over to bed and sat down on the bed and opened the parchment.

My Dear πάντα,

How has school been going?

The house is lonely without you. I went out to go see an old friend of mine, and it was exceptionally fun; maybe I should go out more. Have you made any friends yet?

I became friends with James and your dad on the train. The three of us imeditally became close.

Dad was able to do his yearly write to me this weekend; in his letter he said to tell you that, "Nothing can forever be wrong or forgotten; I love you, my bow; we shall see the other soon.". I'm not sure what he meant by that, but maybe you can figure it out.

I love and miss you dearly, my dear.

Please be good; detention is no fun, believe me.

Your father, Remus Lupin

I smiled as I sat the letter down on the bed. I knew I should write back as soon as possible, but I'm extremely hungry, so I decided to get breakfast.

As I walked down a corridor, I saw a huge window allowing the Saturday morning light into the area; it was nice and bright, and I decided that after breakfast I should go out for a walk, sense it was such a fine day out.

When I turned to walk into the great hall when I ran into something, wait, no one.

"Sorry," I say without looking to see who it was.

"It's alright, I've done it to," a male voice said. "It's Amalia, right?"

"Yes," I say, looking up to see Fred towering over me.

"Pleasure to meet you, Amalia. I'm Fred. I was about to wake my twin so the two of us could eat breakfast together, but I'll just let him sleep," Fred says while looking down at me. "Would you like to come eat with me?"

"Yaa," I say, smiling.

"Come on then," he says, waving, telling me to follow him.
