Hello there! I wanted to thank you for the tag! Your ideas are always a breath of fresh air.
Anyway, here I tried to churn out a believable letter to Sev. I hope my letter is easy to follow! It's nothing much, but I hope you'll get some interesting ideas from it. I hope there aren't mistakes! If you find some you can correct them :)
It was truly kind of you to escort me back to the dormitory the other night. I know how tiring it is these days to keep an eye on everybody and make sure they're safe.
I wasn't expecting it, but when we met in the forbidden forest, I realised that we both have lost our loved ones. Surprisingly, you weren't hard on me, but rather understanding - and you know perfectly well that students are not allowed in the forest.
It was a lucky - shall I call it this way? - encounter. I'm actually surprised we haven't met each other there before the other night...
Anyway, the fact that we were there to spend time with thestrals makes apparent that we are trying to face the sadness and pain we drown in every day, and especially every night.
Although we should not be happy about our tribulations, it's comforting to learn that we're not alone. When you and I were feeding thestrals I felt understood, and I think our silence testified this; it was a warm.
I hope I'll be seeing you there soon. Next time perhaps we'll chat a little. There are many things - even Potions-related - that I'd like to discuss.
Maybe together we'll be able to shake all our regrets and pain off.
A/n: Thank you so much dearest, you are always so kind💕 This will be the first letter of this event so i don’t know if i did well, we will decide it together😅 *fingers crossed*
Keeping the students safe is one of my duties as a professor, you don’t need to be thankful for that to me. But i appreciate your letter; not so many people are thoughtful enough to write something like that, especially to me.
I know very well from my own experiences, everyone needs a space and some alone time to think or even forget about things. There are some things that you cannot even share with your own self. Because if you do, they will become even more real and it is hard to accept the reality sometimes. Ignoring the reality is an easy escape most of the time but how long can we live in a wonderland of lies?
Thestrals are such special creatures but being able to see them is a blessing or a curse? No one can really tell, I assume. They are a reminder of the lost loved ones so we shall never forget them. But on the other hand, it is like scratching an old wound over and over again and never letting it heal fully. But even if it is healed, there will always be a fading scar as a reminder of it.
One can choose to live their pain, sadness or whatever you call it all by themselves which i tend to do. But sharing your feelings and thoughts is another option, maybe a better one, I don't know. I have never had anyone to be there for me when I needed it the most. I don’t want you to go through the same things because I know how it makes you feel. If you need someone to talk to or just someone to listen to you, I will be there and all of that will be our secret.
The forest may be dark and gloomy but we don’t have to be.
Check out the event! Only one place remaining!
