Summary: Alex checks in
Alex sat at the table in the corner of the common room surrounded by books and scraps of parchment. Half finished essays. He hated having the attention span of a gnat, but everything distracted him. Thoughts of his mother. His grandfather. Homework. Vodka.
He'd promised his father that he'd write.
Alex pushed away his Charms book and reached for a fresh square of parchment.
Dad,
I know I promised I'd write to you, and Charms is making my head hurt, so I figured it was a good time to do it. Things are quiet around here. There's still not a lot of kids at school, just the upper forms, so I guess that's why. That, and that kids are kind of leaving me alone. Not that I mind, you know, but it's weird having them kind of avoiding me. I'm sure it's because they don't know what to say, but still, it's okay. I'd rather the quiet and to be alone, you know?
How are things at the shop? I bet you and Uncle Fred are busy. April Fools' is coming. Are you planning something new?
I'm okay, just so you know. I haven't had a drink, or got into any trouble, although I've been thinking about it a lot. The drinking, not the trouble. But I know one would just cause more of the other, and I know Mum would hate it if I got kicked out of school for doing stupid stuff, so I've been steering clear of people I know would just make it easier.
I hope you're doing okay.
I love you.
Alex
