My dear Daughter,
How have you been coping recently? I hope you haven't been spending too much time fretting about your upcoming OWLs...don't, you'll be fine. Whatever you do, I'll always be proud of you. How's life as a prefect nowadays? I hope you realise how proud we were when you told us you were one! Well, I suppose the big hug gave it away!
However, I am extremely sorry to inform you of some terrible news, which is the main purpose of this letter. It's concerning your father. And Amy. I am terribly sorry if this letter is completely tear soaked, just thinking about it makes me cry. Your father...he returned two nights ago. He demanded custody over Amy, and threatened us in ways that are too dire to repeat on this paper-you never know who's hands this letter might fall into. Of course I denied him custody, after what he did when you were younger...but he wouldn't give up. We were arguing for hours...Amy was scared out of her wits. She still is, she refuses to leave my side. She's not going back to school for a while, at any rate.
Eventually I had to physically force him out of the house and locked every single window and door. Thankfully he hasn't been back since, but nobody knows what will happen next. Please, Celia, if anything drastic happenes to us, then don't blame yourself. And pray that he doesn't go to Hogwarts for you next-I understand the security has been greatly improved due to the recent attacks, but beware. He could return at any point...and we're scared, Celia, petrified. Pray that nothing more happens, to us or to you!
All my love,
Your loving mother.
