[Sept 24th] A Nothing King (Feliks)

on March 11, 2018, 09:10:58 AM

Shortly before eleven in the morning. The letter is hastily written on level two Ministry stationery, a small print at the bottom reads "From the Desk of Solomon Carstairs." It is delivered by an unfamiliar owl.


To: Feliks Spectre, Hogwarts.

Feliks

I'm sorry we can't be there right this instant. You have, I think, already seen or heard of the article. It was a despicable act and I promise I am trying my utmost to deal with those who have penned it. I wish I could have protected you against this, Feliks, I wish it hadn't come to this. They've done a most cruel thing and I can't imagine how you must feel.

Please write back as soon as you can and let me know if you are well, if you need anything at all. I will try to get in touch with Johann soon to see if Oma can come to you right away. I don't know if they've seen today's Witch Weekly yet.

Don't forget - we love you very much. That dishrag means nothing. She was your mother but we are your family.


Your papa,


Balfour

After the lunch hour, a note is sent back by the same owl. It is sticky with smears of raw honey.

Mon Papa,

You are writing from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement? You are okay? I went to see uncle Sylvain. He taught me about bees. I miss you and Johann very much. I will go to see Oma when she is here. I miss her also.

I do not understand why they had to write about me. Some of my friends have tried to explain. I have friends. Not everyone is mean about what they read. Some are nice. Some do not believe I never knew mama. Some of them have family who were hurt by her. It is complicated.

Everything will be okay?

Early Afternoon, sent by Balfour's usual eagle owl - Freya.


Bless you, Feliks.

Your words are much calmer than mine were, not a few hours ago. I am perfectly fine at present: just ran into a spot of trouble with the fellow who partly owns Witch Weekly. Don't you worry.

Johann is furious about the article.  It isn't often I see that dark look in his eyes. Your Oma should be back at Hogwarts by now - I'm sure she has showered you with all the hugs we would have, if we were there. I hope your peers will soon see that your mother's crimes are not your own. I never did believe in original sin.

Do write to let us know if you need anything. Don't be afraid to learn a strong hex or two, I'm sure Professor Storm will oblige. Everything will be okay, with effort.


Love,


Balfour
