Scor's letter back made him feel even worse, and he almost spilled everything out on paper. It was only when he realized how selfish that would be, how horrible to try to explain what had happened on paper. No, it was better to ignore it, and pretend it never happened. It wouldn't work forever, but for now...it was all he could do. He couldn't hurt Scorpius anymore.
Scor,
I'm sorry about your parents. I wish I could change things, but I don't think anything I could do would help. But at least you know they're alive and healthy, even if you're not speaking at the moment. They're still your parents, and someday I now you'll all come back together.
Flying dragons sounds dangerous, please be careful. I can't lose you too. Try to gte some sleep, and know that I have all your drawings in the drawer by my bed, so I can look at them when I miss you.
Just remember the last time I saw you, at Teddy and Vic's wedding, and how we slipped out early. Soon, we'll be able to do that as much as we want. This can't last forever.
I'll write too, fill you in on my mum. I'm really worried about her. Harry and Ginny's death seem to have broken something. I just keep hoping she'll come back.
