Duckie,

I'm coming to find you, don't you worry. If you can look at your book, just let me know where you are and that you're.... just fine. I'll be there in just a tic.

Why? What for? Of course I'm fine! I don't need you to come and find me!

[alt_rabastan]

You're fine? You're sure about that? No one's forcing you to write that, are they?

Your Father, you see... he's quite certain that you're in some kind of trouble.

[alt_hydra]

Forcing me to write? No, of course not.

Daddy thinks... well, what does he think, exactly?

[alt_rabastan]

Er, let me get right back to you on that.

[alt_rabastan]

Alright, I think I'm on the verge of sorting this out. Sorry if I frightened you, but no worries. You're not in trouble, ducks.

Were you with your friend, Mr Finch-Fletchley?

[alt_hydra]

No.

Look, I'm not going to run off with this to your Father. I just want to make sure that you're not getting involved in something that you might still be a little too young for, you see?

[alt_hydra]

He's not my friend, he's my boyfriend. I don't want Daddy to know because he doesn't and wouldn't understand. And he'll be gone and back to France eventually and maybe it will never be this way again with anyone else, ever.

Ah, well, yes, I'm sure it all feels quite...well, violent delights, as they are.... it's all very new and


Look, perhaps it best if you and Mr Finch-Fletchley come pay me a visit in my rooms before supper. I have to tell your Father something, you know, but I'd like a chance to speak with the two of you first.

[alt_rabastan]

All right, Duckie, I think you're in the clear- for now. You've got to bloody well sharpen up and be careful, though. I don't approve of Roddy trying to keep an eye on you this way, but I don't want you to get yourself into trouble, either.

And as much as you have feelings for him, well... he will be leaving, come summer. It might be good to keep a cool head about things, that being the case, yeah?

[alt_hydra]

But how can I keep a cool head about things when each day that goes by means it's one less day that we have to spend together?

I wish I could be dead inside, like Mummy.

And you'll still help me with occlumency my private lessons, won't you? It's more important than ever, because even if Mummy said I can practise with Justin she wouldn't like it if she knew how I really felt.

Duckie, your Mother is FAR from dead inside, however much she might pretend otherwise. Believe me on that score. Her passions run...well, very deep, let's just say.

Of course I'll help, as much as I can. You know that I can only do so much, though.

[alt_hydra]

I know. But I have to feel like I'm trying, at least.

Thank you. For everything.

From,
Hydra

[alt_rabastan]

Just... don't make us both regret it, okay?

[alt_hydra]

I won't!
