Gavin,

Let me start out by stating the obvious. I miss you. I know I've said it a thousand times in the past few days but it's truer every time.

I miss you so damn much and I know we weren't going to see each other much anyway but that doesn't make it any easier. Knowing you're not just down across the grounds from me and that you're in danger while I'm stuck here at Hogwarts wondering if you're alright if the worst feeling in the world.

I know you're with your Mum and safe but...I just get this horrible feeling in my gut knowing your father is still on the loose out there somewhere and that he's pissed off after what happened. Honestly, Gav, I'm...I'm scared. I'm scared something is going to happen to you and I'm not going to be there to stop it. I'm scared I'm going to lose you when I just found you. I'm scared that I won't hear your laugh or see your smile or any of that ever again.

Please, please stay safe. Don't take any risks coming to see me; I'm not worth you getting hurt over.

Write back soon,
Leighton

Leighton,

I'm alright. I'm still with Mum. I don't want to say where because she thinks he might be intercepting our owls now. She got a package the other day that looked like it'd been tampered with and she took had someone look at it and it turned out it had been laced with doxy poison. It wouldn't have killed us, thank Merlin, but we could have gotten seriously ill. It looks like what happened in Kenessey really made him snap. But don't you dare blame yourself, Leighton.

I miss you too but don't worry about me, okay? Concentrate on your schoolwork and your friends. I'll be fine. I wouldn't be a very good boyfriend if you failed all your exams from worrying about me.

I love you and I miss you,

Gavin

Gavin,

Of course I blame myself. How could I not? It's my fault. He hurt you and I snapped and I shouldn't have. Honestly, I wanted to beat his face in for everything he's done to you. And how am I supposed to concentrate when the person I'm...dating is having their owls intercepted by their lunatic father? I'm worried sick. The guys said I'm...I dunno, whimpering in my sleep or something and Kurt said I'm losing weight. I can't stop worrying about you. I just...I can't think about anything else without you popping into my head with that look you had when you saw him.

I keep having these...nightmares about you being trapped and he's there and I can't save you and...I can't let that happen, Gavin. I can't.

Kurt's trying to convince me to go to Hogsmeade with him on Saturday since Blaine will be at his last trial with some of his other friends and the rest of his mates are going with girlfriends or other friends but I don't know if I can. I don't think I can see your house or the shop or drink a damn Butterbeer without thinking of you and feeling lost again.

Stay safe,
Leighton

Go. Have fun. I'm alright. Remember that before you go to bed. Remember that I'm safe and you're safe and that's all that matters. Stop worrying, please, Leighton.

I love you,

Kurt,

It's Gavin. I'm really worried about Leighton. Please keep an eye on him. I know he's losing sleep and not eating. I know you're close with him and I don't expect you to do anything but if it's not too much trouble, I'd appreciate it. Make him go to Hogsmeade, get him thinking about other things.
