Pure blood queen

Dear Alice,
My darling Alice. I'm glad you chose to speak to me instead of suffering in silence. I'm so sorry I hadnt noticed before hand. Me more than anyone should have seen the signs. I know it's hard, and that you my sweet girl have been given a rougher deal than most could ever dream off. But trust me when I say that it will not always be this way. Even over the past three years you have gained more than you've lost. I know sometimes it had to view it like that but please try. You've gained two amazing best friends, as well as many others. Your brother is an angel and means it when he says he will always be there. I know your angry at your parents to some extent and I would be too, but know they love you more than life itself. Everything they did was for you two, to give you a better world to live in. One of these days, someone will see that your father is innocent and he will have the chance to explain what he did for himself. But he's never stopped loving you. I've known Sirius a long time, and the one thing he remained is loyal and loving. Your dad was a selfless man, he gave up his whole world for you mom, and even more so for you two. There is nothing he wouldnt do for the people he loved. Every second of every day you are what keeps him going.
When your parents told me I was to be tou godfather, I was honoured that they chose me. I should have been worried for the two of you. Being born into a world that I feared so badly, br never once in my mind did my faith in your parents falter. I knew they'd keep you safe no matter the consequences. They were brave people Alice, and i know that you are twice as brave as they were.
Your so like your mother sometimes it hurts. To think of the sacrifice she made, and the difficulty she took to make it. Leaving you would have been the hardest thing she'd ever have done. But she, like Sirius, was selfless. And while that here didnt benefit you too well, know that she didnt make that decision lightly. Your mother often had times like this where she felt there was no point, or that she couldn't continue. But every time she got back up and decided that the world wasnt going to make her quit just yet. She took all the shit (excuse the language) and threw it back in their faces. Everything, everyone that broke her just made her stronger and more determined to win. She knew you'd do great things, even as a child. She wrote to me several times telling me how amazing you were. Her love for you was unlike most mother and daughters. She loved you more than I've ever seen anyone love anything.
I know what you think of your mom. You see her as a hero, as someone who is tough and strong in every sense of the word. Darling if you could see yourself, you'd see why your just as strong. Annabelle runs in your veins, and she will never fade. Stay strong my love, it will get better. You are loved and you are strong.

Love Remus x
(P.s I enclosed some papers on coping techniques. I used to use them when I was your age and struggling. I hope they help. Feel free to write again anytime. I'm alway listening)
