January 19, 2012, following I wish!


Dear Aunt Aileen,

Hello, how are you? I hope you are well.

My friend Wesley told me something that I want to tell you. I don't know how to tell you in a letter. But I will try.

Remember that day at the train station when Wesley forgot his luggage? That's not the worst thing that happened, but that's the day he told me about. He said a pentral saved him that day. An Auror came by the castle to tell him that a pentral saved him, and the pentral was his mother.

And so, that means, his mother has passed. The pentral who was his mother. Do you know what I'm trying to say?

I wanted to tell you. I hope you are alright.

Sincerely,
Sulwen

Dear Sulwen,

Thank you. You're very thoughtful and kind to reach out. I do understand what you're trying to say, and it's something I came to terms with in the days following the train station incident. I only knew when I saw your friend. It's a sad, complicated situation, and I wish that it had happened differently. He deserved the chance to meet his mother before she went.

Are you alright? Do you need to talk to someone at school?

Aunt Aileen,

He doesn't know it was you. I've not said any thing because I could tell he didn't know.

Why didn't you tell me you knew? 

I can keep secrets. But I feel sorry for Wesley.

Sulwen,

No, you're right - he doesn't know and neither does his family, and I've put you in a terrible position without realizing the effect it would have on you. I'm sorry. Truly. I didn't tell you during your winter break because I was still wrestling with it myself.

I think it's best to be discreet about it for now, especially at your school. You don't need to be the one to tell him. I will find a way. I just need a bit more time.

Aunt Aileen,

Is it the Auror Trevlan's fault? I know Abby works with them, but Aurors don't care who gets hurt.

Sulwen,

It's not the Auror's fault. I had asked Auror Trevelyan not to tell the family yet.

Is April when all the students go home? I'll plan a day to see you.

Yes spring holiday is April 2-13. Ok. I'll see you after the train.

Very wise.

Here, I found an article you might like about Quidditch training for chasers. If you'd like, write to me again in February and March. It's a long way till April.
