( A letter addressed to Rudy )

[ EON ]

Tell him "FRIEND EON. I HAS A QUESTION."

I have been denied the chance to learn dark magic detecting magic.

And I am tired of rumours.

And I do not have time to do this 'investigating' our juniour sleuths keep telling me to.

Someone tell me who cast an Unforgivable on a staff member.

So, there's only so much fun one can have in the med bay and with a lady who turns into a possum.

Hello. I'm Aidan. I'm the cause of such chaos. I deeply apologize. Certain string beans have a tendency to lose it when long lost presumed dead friends arrive on their doorstep. Such a newb.

Well, anyway, since said string bean is off not here to cater to my every whim like a good bro would, I find myself at a loss. So. Please. Keep me focused on things other than the painfully slow healing process. Bodies, am I right, folks?

[ Staff ]

On a serious note, thank you for the safe harbor. I really am sorry for the dramatics. I wasn't expecting to invade your turf like this. I just needed to find a friendly. Once I heal up, I'll get out of your hair if that's what your security team decides. No harm, no foul.

[Rudy]

Robby hates me. He says I go too far with teachers, which is true. Alas, I am not the only one here who has done it, yet he holds me accountable. I don't think I've ever had anyone hate me before who I actually respected. Why does he hate me? Why does this bother me so? Why deny me cake and then continue to be mean after I tried to apologize?

Yet, he is in love with Angel who wishes to murder and torture Purebloods and burn down the school.

I need your consultation. I would prefer to avoid Robby for now since I am conflicted. It's no fun to tease somebody who you want to like you, is it? Am I jealous?

[Robby]

Yoli told me why you probably didn't offer me any cake yesterday.

I'm sorry for what I said about you and Angel. I honestly wasn't trying to hurt your feelings. I think you'd be a cute couple if you do like him like that, but I was outta line it looks like.

Sometimes I do that. I'm not really good with romantic stuff and all that, so I don't always get how people might be sensitive about it. But that's something I'm trying to do better at.

If I ever do or say something that really gets under your skin again and I keep pushing, feel free to just punch me in the nose. Or tell me. Fair is fair, right? I just say:

"Gideon. Shut the hell up. You are being an idiot right now and I really want to make your nose bleed."

Now, if you do still want to punch me in the nose, let me know! I can take it. But as of now, I would very much like to be your friend. No joke, for serious, I think you're a good guy and a very good baker.

But if you don't want to be my friend, that's okay too! I will just have to wear you down with kindness from now on.

I won't speak about you and Angel anymore unless you ask me about him.

P.S. I think he's a bit scary, but maybe you can straighten him out? He's just in a lot of pain. Again, you'd be a very sweet couple, I think (and if you don't like him like that, you make very sweet friends).

P.S.S. My mum loves having people over for dinner. She makes a mean pilaf. Do you wanna come over this weekend???

I am wanting to thank you teachers for doing a very much good job to be helping us. Miss Rhea I know does a lot of the working especially.

Students
I am also wanting to thank you for coming to mine and Molly's party. I am glad you are being my friends.


Eon & Rudy

You are both knowing a lot about Lee already. Can you be telling me what he likes? I want to get him something as a gift


Angel
You did not be coming to my party. Is it because of Rudy or are we not being friends?


Lee
Can we be talking? In person please?
