Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,

The XIII of December

 

My dearest beloved cousin,

I would be very glad to hear from you, that you are well, and I want you to know that to hear of your welfare would be one of the greatest comforts I could have in this world.

It is thus that I have spent a good many days thinking about how to phrase what I am about to say—

I am not coming home for Christmas.

Truthfully, I cannot come. I have been invited to spend the holidays with the Malfoys, and my parents believe it to be prudent for me to accept. I cannot refuse them. I must break my promise.

I truly hope you are doing well. I hope you are being taken care of and that you have a good time without me.

I shall see you again at Easter.

Your truly loving friend whilst I breathe,
