[Hexed Extraordinarily Private.]

Ernie,

I don't know how to do much of comforting, but I am truly sorry about your father and as I never had my mother I wish I could do more to ease your pain but I cannot.

Please, for the love of Merlin, don't tell anyone about this letter. I could not stand for others to think badly of me. I can only hope it does something for you. You don't have to trust me or even like me, but if you feel you need someone and have no one else to go to, you can come to me.

[Enclosed is a white teddy bear with a blue & green bow.]

Sincerely,
Millicent.
