Owl to Hannah Abbott

Miss Abbott,

Good day, and I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Tristan Abbott, and I've been given reason to believe that you might be the daughter of my brother, Harold. You see, he left home when I was only a teenager, and I never knew what became of him. My cousin, Fabian Prewett, says he met you over the Holidays- I haven't reached out to you sooner as I've recently returned to the country myself, after twenty years abroad. I'm a Healer, you see, and I've recently recovered from a rather nasty case of Spattergroit- which I'm sure you desire little to hear about.

I'm afraid I'm not so very sure of just what to say here. I'd like to meet you, if that is something you might be interested in. I don't know what may have transpired between you and your father, but if he hasn't changed much in the last twenty years, than I may have some idea of just what may have been said to you. I've been told you're old enough now that you do not need a guardian, but...I'd like to introduce myself and offer myself as a mentor, perhaps, should that be something that you'd like. Or a friend.

Yours,
Tristan Abbott

Mr Abbott,

Thank you for writing to me. I- I'm not really sure where to start, here, so I'm sorry if this sounds odd or disjointed or if it's all ~~too much~~ more than you wanted to know.

I only just found out that I'm ~~probably~~ related to the Prewett family. ~~My dad~~ ~~Harold~~ My father lied about having any magical heritage. I grew up thinking that I was muggleborn. I- mostly I still think of myself that way, really. When I got my Hogwarts letter, he didn't want me to go. ~~He was really angry about-~~ It was my mum who convinced him, but he was never really happy about it. My mum was the only one who wanted to hear anything about Hogwarts or magic. She died two years ago. She was in a train accident. I was at Hogwarts when it happened, and I didn't find out until a month later. I haven't been ~~home~~ back since. There are- a lot of reasons for that. ~~But you probably-~~

I'm rambling on. And I know I said I was probably going to, but I guess I should stop here. But- yes. I would like to meet you. So long as- I mean. Unless you're just looking to find ~~my dad~~ Harold again, because I- I don't really want to. See him. Again. I'm sorry. I mean, I guess I can't stop you if that's what you want, just- please don't ask me to. To do it, too.

Oh. And I know what Spattergroit is. I'm sorry that you caught it, but I'm glad you're feeling better.

Miss Abbott-

Please, call me Tristan. You needn't apologize- I can only imagine how overwhelming or strange it must be. I'm afraid I half don't know of what to say myself.

I understand. And- for what little it may be worth, the Abbotts are long line of purebloods, though we aren't as..vocal as other families about it. Your father never showed any signs of magic, so I imagine that was a large part of why he left and why he never embraced the magical world.

I'd like that. Professor Bones is a good friend of mine- perhaps I could speak with him about scheduling lunch or tea with you one day? And no, please don't think that I'm using you to find him. I wouldn't ask you to do that.

Thank you. I'm almost completely recovered now, thankfully.

-Tristan Abbott

	Tristan, You can call me Hannah, of course. Purebloods? Really? ~~Wow.~~ That- That's not me at all. I mean. Obviously I'm not a pureblood, of course, because my mum was a muggle, but- I don't know. It's strange. It's a lot to think about. Lunch or tea would be lovely. I'm free Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons. - Hannah (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hannah, Really. And no, but you do have family. A small one, these days, but you have one. Wonderful! I'll reach out to Edgar- er, Professor Bones, and see when I can stop by. -Tristan (Reply to this) (Parent)
