birthday owl to Regulus.
Regulus,
I will not even begin to contemplate how you must be feeling now, but, despite everything that has happened, do try to have a happy birthday. You very much deserve to have one, even with such tragedies preceding it, and if you cannot have one this year, then we will simply make your nineteenth birthday the best birthday ever celebrated by anyone.
I apologise for the quality of the gift; being without much spare money, I attempted to make your present myself, and I fear that I am more of a scholar than a craftsman. Hopefully, the charms on it, or the Calming Draught failing that, will compensate for its lack of aesthetic appeal.
Know that, if I could have, I would have prevented your birthday from being tainted by such tragedy. I do not know that I can give you proper help, but I will do whatever I can. Just remember that.
Happy Birthday, Regulus.
Yours,
[Enclosed are: the entirety of Barty's supply of Calming Draughts from his parents' house, and a somewhat crude, handmade pendant (vaguely resembling this one) with a rune charm drawn on the back. Nominally, this charm protects Regulus from those who mean him ill... but Barty tried to put too much into it and all it really does is protect Reg from dust bunnies.]
