Dear Alexia,

First I would like to apology if this letter comes later than expected. Unfortunately I'm not at my house because my father forced me to go to stat at my future step family's house and I don't have access to a owl currently.

I hope you day isn't to draining. Is there anything I could do? Maybe I could find a phone here and call you? How is your mother? Is she getting better? I hope the days now aren't as long or draining when you first got there.

Maybe he feels bad for leaving you mother? Maybe it's karma for leaving her? Hopefully this other women isn't there anymore but if she is then write or call me and I can help you prank her... if you want.

I miss you bloody awful as well even if it only been 5 days or more depending when you get this. I have been thinking about you and praying for your mother each and everyone of them. I miss you Alexa Mackenzie and I hope your flight was alright and that your safe.

I do knew better. Once I know that I have access to a phone, I'll call you. Your time. Just let me know which time I can call you, Lexie.

You sweet, did you know that. My family is alright, my twin; Anna is still missing and Arthur is stressing over his auror examination. Then my father is stressing over his wedding on the 8th. Next time I write I will probably have five more siblings and a mother.

Anyway enough about me, how are you doing? How are you holding up with everything Lexie?

You aren't alone Lexie and you will never be alone. I'll always be with you and I been thinking about you for the summer holiday so far as I experience my fathers wedding and everything else.

But you aren't alone, I promise that I'll always be with. If were far or near it doesn't matter since I'll always be with. I look at the Celtic bracelet you gave me each night and think of you. Pray for your mother. Your strong and you'll get through this, she will get better.

Is your mother getting better? Is there more hope for her now that your at the hospital?

Your always on my mind and in my heart, Lexie.

Love you a million,
Henry K

Dear Henry,

Don’t worry about any delays with our letters; I’m just glad they’re getting through. I forget who your father is marrying… When does that happen? And you will have a stepsister who goes to Hogwarts, right? I’ve been there two years, and I still don’t know very many people. It’s kind of amazing.

Every day seems draining to me now, to be honest. Mom gets a little worse every day. I have her on chemotherapy, some really aggressive medicine, and while it is supposed to kill the cancer, It is making her weaker, for sure. Dad is angry all the time now… I don’t know what to do about that. Mom is so gentle, as always. Always trying to calm down Dad when she’s awake, which isn’t as often as it should be, because she’s so exhausted from the medicine. I try to have hope, but it’s so hard, Henry.

Maybe he does feel bad for leaving her. Maybe that’s why Dad is so angry: he’s angry at himself. It’s fitting, because I am angry with him to, though, I barely have the strength to be angry. Or to feel any strong emotion, really. I’m just so tired.

I don’t know if the other woman is still around. I see dad almost all of the time now, and I can’t imagine how he would have time to even talk to anyone else. He’s never on his phone. Though it rings a lot, now that I think about it. He just doesn’t answer it. I wonder who’s calling…

I miss you too, terribly. I miss Hogwarts, and everything and everyone there. It’s so difficult to be in the Muggle world after magic, but I guess I have to get used to it, especially for the summers. Thank you so much for thinking of us and praying for mom… it means so much to me.

Ha ha, no you are sweet! I miss that, I miss your smile. I’m so sorry about Anna… have you heard anything new? And Arthur, even though he’s stressed, are you guys still close? I remember you saying how much you looked up to him.

By the time this reaches you, I’m sure the wedding will have happened. Are you excited about it? Do you like your new stepmom? And five more siblings! That’s a lot… But then I’m used to being an only child. Do you like the siblings?

I’m hanging in there, Henry. Trying to, that is. Mom is so tough, so I try to be like her… I think she’s giving up hope, and I don’t want to be like that… but I worry that I am losing hope as well.

I’m so glad to hear that you’re here for me, even though you are far away… it still feels like you are close, And I’m so grateful for that. I look at the bracelet, as well. Always makes me think of you. And I think of you often.

Much love,
Alexa

Dear Alexia,

My apologies for the delay, I just wanted to send it once I arrived. After the wedding, my father and his wife went on a honeymoon and they thought it would be better if me and the other spent the time in American with her sister.

So I'm in Florida! Only twenty hours a part! I'll be here until the 22nd and whenever you want call me. Alright, I'm here for you. Closer than ever... also my step mom got me and a few others a muggle smartphone so at the bottom is the number for it. Call me as soon as you get this, so I can hear your voice and also listen to you.

How are you dealing with the time change? I'm still a bit wonky from it.

The wedding was alright, I now have a stepmother whose alright. I technically have five step siblings who will be at Hogwarts but the one you might know is Rose Moon, gryffindor duelist in our year. Maybe I could introduce you? You'll love her and she love your and your amazing personality!

Also enclosed is my new address in godric hollow. If you need a place to stay, no when or where then the door is always open for you Lexie.

It will be hard but you can get through this A. Your strong and brave. Just stay strong and remember to breath, take a few minutes to yourself each day and breath.

I'm sorry to hear about your father but hopefully he'll calm down eventually. However I join you in being angry at fathers since I'm angry at mine. As for your mother, it will take time. Hopefully in a few weeks she'll get stronger and better.

You said you were drained so I thought I would send some sweets for you. I hope you enjoy, A.

Maybe its the other women? But if your tried or feel drained then maybe you shouldn't focus on it now Alexa. Just remember to take a moment and breath, remember to take care of yourself to. And I'll help you figure out whose calling your father and who the other women is. It shouldn't to hard, since we make a unremarkable team.

I'll always think of you Lexi. I'll always hope your mother will get better and hope for the best for you. I'll always remain by your side.

I miss you to, terribly. I thought since we couldn't be together and you miss Hogwarts then I'll send you a little part of Hogwarts. To remind you of the magic.

No, your sweet. I miss you and your smile and infectious laugh and you emerald shining green eyed and bright, fire like red hair. I miss you Alexa. And I always will until I see you in person again.

We haven't heard anything about Anna yet, but thanks. There still searching so hopefully they find her or something. Arthur and I are still close and his exams are the 23rd so he'll see if he'd a auror then.

Faith, Franklin, Rose, Gabe, and Jess. Those are my new step siblings. Their alright, I'm mostly with Rose and Gabe though. My stepmother she's alright I guess, she tries so hard to get my to like her and always want to hug me and talk to me and call her mom. She can be a bit overbearing and occasionally it feels like she's replacing her.

Anyway being a only child isn't bad and some say your friends are like family. You are my family, Lexie.

I'll always never hope for you so you don't lose it. You are strong and tough, A trust me. You can through this and help your mother through as well.

I want to help you.

When you read this, go by a window and open it. I'll do the same. Look out and look at the stars. Look at the brightest on to the left. Do you see it? I'm looking at it to. As long as it shines there's hope, I promise Alexa. Whenever you feel lonely or scared or like your losing hope and can't call me then look at the star and take a breath. Knowing there's hope and even through were far away, were close.

I'll always be here for you, A. We might be Rose physically but mentally I'm right besides you. Hugging you and listening to you through it all. I look at the bracelet everyday and night, thinking of you. Your in my thoughts and minds each hour minute of each day and night. Always.

Love you for infinity,
Henry K.

P.S. I'll also enclosed a SPEW badge in the letter because I remembered you told me you would like one.

Dearest Henry,

Thank you so much for the badge and the candy, and I love the snitch with the pictures of everyone. These are perfect gifts, and a perfectly awful time. We almost lost mom today.

I'm glad the wedding went well, and I'm so glad you are here closer than you were. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could visit? I'm sure my mom would love to meet you!

Henry, I'm just terrified she won't be here for long… Her heart stopped today after she had a bad seizure. I think the cancer has spread to her brain, the doctors were saying. They tell dad, but it's like they think I'm too young to handle it, so no one tells me anything. I hate it.

I don't know how things are going to turn out, but I would love to visit you in Godric's Hollow sometime… Isn't that where you grew up? And your little friends, I am racking my brains, but I cannot think of the name of the magical tree animal that protects wand trees. Some student I am…

Though to be honest, I find it hard to focus on anything besides my mother nowadays. I just want to spend all the time with her I can… I think even she thinks she's not going to make it… It makes me so sad, Henry.

And it turns out those phone calls were from his work. If he doesn't return to work by the end of July, they are going to fire him! On top of everything else… It just gets worse and worse.

You can't know what a comfort it is to know that you are there to support me, even if we are not together. I miss you. I can't visit while my mom is sick, but maybe after she gets better? Or after she… Nevermind.

I got to the part about the window, and I'm looking at the stars, thinking of you. Maybe there is always hope, maybe you're right. I certainly hope so. Thank you much Henry for bringing that peace to me.

Much love from my end,

Alexa

Dear Alexia,

I'm sorry to hear about your mother. Maybe it's similar to the saying; one must get worse before they get better. She might just be getting worse then will get better, don't lose hope Lexie. Not yet.

I am sorry to hear about your night, that moment when you thought she was gone. It must have been wordless for you, I'm deeply sorry that you had to give through at. You can call me or write to me about it, if you want to talk about it?

Or if you want to talk about what your going through or emotions or just want to take your kind off of everything. Call me Lexie. I want to help you and I'm keeping to my promise, I'll remain by your side till the end.

I'm glad you like the gifts and I'm not going to spoil anything but some more will be coming your way for your birthday. You didn't think I would forget, did you?

Maybe if you father explains the situation they might not fire him. Or he might find a better one if they do, there's always endless possibilities and hope Alexa. Don't give in to the darkness, not yet. I won't give in, for you.

The wedding was good and my new larger family is well. Loki is currently with his new feline sister back in England, during this trip. It feels strange to be apart. Speaking of, how's Rascel? Is she with you?

Whenever you need or want, you can visit Godric Hollow. The doors are always open for you and they always will be.

Bowtruckles and they live in wand quality wood. Your not a bad student, just going through a stressful time. Your a great student and a brilliant duelist and incredibly intelligent. Your amazing Alexia Mackenzie. And don't let anyone tell you differently.

Were only about a few hours away, maybe we could visit each other? I could see about taking a muggle car to you over the next few days if you want Alexa?

Your strong and brave. You got this. Your mom will be alright. Just remember to take breath and stay calm. You can't do anything if you emotional. Stay strong and calm.

I look at the stat every night, thinking of you and your mom.

Love You Till The Last Day,
Henry K

Dearest Henry,

Thank you for your kind words about my mother. She has been pretty stable, if very sleepy, these past few days. Maybe it's like you said, she has to get worse before she gets better. That struck a chord with me. I really hope it's true.

Thanks for the offer to talk about that day we almost lost her, but I don't think I can even begin to describe how I'm feeling, or was feeling at the time. Don't get me wrong, I want to tell you everything, but I just don't know how.

It's been romantic writing these letters, cathartic even to get the words out on the page. But I think I will call you soon; it's pretty lonely here with just dad at the hotel. Though Rascal helps a lot. He's a star, keeping me entertained and trying to keep up my spirits. He can't possibly know what's going on, but he seems to know I'm down, and tries to help pick me up.

Oh, Henry, you don't have to give me anything more! Just you being there at the other end of this letter, and at the other end of the phone line when I finally call you, is amazing and an incredible gift. I can't wait to see you again when school starts back again, no matter what happens this summer…

I think dad has been arguing the situation over his boss almost every day, trying to get him to see the point. But he works at a really small bank, and I imagine they can't afford, literally, to have him gone for so long. It absolutely sucks, and I don't want it to happen obviously, but I think I get it from their perspective. Even though at the same time I think there are a bunch of jerks. Hopefully if they fire him he does find a better job, like you said.

I'm glad the wedding went well, but I'm sorry Loki is not with you! Who is this new feline sister of his? I can't wait to meet your stepsister when we get back to school. I'm sure we met, but not really talk, you know?

I don't know when we will get home, but I think I'll definitely take you up on that offer to visit your new home. Besides, I would love to visit a wizarding village. Bowtruckles! That's right! Thank you for reminding me. I don't know about the brilliant duelist part, but I appreciate what you say.

Oh Henry, I don't want you to come here. It's so morbid and depressing here… The nurses and doctors try to keep it upbeat, but people are only here because they are dying, you know? I don't want you to have to feel what it's like here, and I don't think I could leave mom for a second to visit. I hope you understand… I'm terribly sorry…

I hope I'm as strong as you say… Mom says I am, too, but I'm afraid she says this because she's losing faith in her health, and wants me to be okay if she's gone. I don't know what I'll do if she doesn't make it, but at the same time there's a big part of me that doesn't expect her to. Especially not after the other night when we almost lost her. But I'll try to stay strong, for you, for mom, for everyone… For myself.

Love,
Your Alexa

Dear Alexa,

That's good that your mum is resting, sleep can be the best form of treatment at least that's what books say. Keep your spirits high, Lexie your mum will get better. You'll and everything will be okay soon.

We don't have to talk about it or what your going through. We can talk about anything, we can just talk to take your mind off of it and for a moment bring you to ease.

Writing these letters and sneaking around to send them have definitely felt romantic or adoration. Although I have to admit that it felt good or right to hear your voice again, I miss you Alexa and hearing your voice only reminded me of that. Even through we can't see each other, I'm glad that we can still hear each other's voices. I hope the phones call have been helping you,
Lexie. Let me know if there's anything else that I can do.

Animals can sense when where not feeling alright or of there's something wrong, Rascal may not know what's happening but he does know its affecting you. That's good that's he trying to help, as he been helping you? Keep calm or keep your spirits up?

I can't wait to see you again when school starts as well. I'm counting down the days till I can see you again but I'm glad calling and writing as helped you. I'll always be on the other side or besides you, waiting for you and there for you A.

I know I already did this over the phone but... Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday Alexa! Happy Birthday to you! I hope your day was amazing!

And even through you said not to, it's your birthday and I had to send you something. So your thirteen as well now?

I didn't send you that many gifts and I promise they didn't cost much. The crochet badger I made for you since I thought you may like it and you mentioned how much Rascal helped you so I made him a little swing.

The wolf necklace, I found it at my house packing and moving out. I think it was my mum's or someone in my family anyway it's no one's now and I thought of you. I thought you may like it.

The other necklace, I found it at this store for a muggle company. Diszey or Disney, I think and thought you matched the description.

I hope you like each one and hope that your birthday was a little better than the rest of your summer holiday.

I'm sorry to hear about your father's company. Maybe there's still a chance that he could keep his job? There's still hope as long as our star shines bright. But if he does get fired then maybe there's another, better company that will hire him. Maybe him getting fired would be a good thing and he'll get a better job.

The wedding was good, wasn't the worst or the greatest. It feels weird being so far from Loki for so long, we'll be leaving for the UK soon so not much longer apart although that the means we'll be far apart again. I don't want to imagine that either.

One of my stepsisters; Rose has a cat to. Chaska so she's Loki's new feline sister or close to it. Loki likes her, I hope he's alright and having fun.

Since I don't want to overwhelm you, meeting one step sibling for now sounds good. Rose would want to meet you as well, I think that would be grand if two meet. You may even have another friend soon, Lexie.

Whenever your ready. Christmas holiday, spring holiday, next summer holiday. Whenever you want or are ready, you can visit me in godric hollow. And I'll love to introduce you to the bowtruckles, there skittish at first but I think they'll be friendly around you.

You are a brilliant duelist Alexa. Just need some practice and I'll help you everyday next year if you want. And everything I wrote and said in our phone calls are true, so no need to thank me Lexie.

Don't apology, I do understand and I hope both your mum and you are doing better with each passing day. From the way your describe it, that place sounds awful, depressing, low in spirits. I'm sorry that you have to go through that and if I could then I'll be right by your side, holding you hand.

I still can't believe that St Mungos couldn't emit your mum. Your magical that should count for something, families of muggleborns should also be allowed into St Mungos to get the help that they need. If she was there then she would be cured already. Wizarding laws about muggles just aren't right and you have to suffer of the consequences, I'm sorry Alexa.

You are strong and brave. You can make it through this Alexa, no matter the result. I know you can and if you need a moment to fall apart then I'll be right by your side, holding you and being strong for you so you can fall apart for a moment.

But Lexie don't be strong for anyone but yourself. Not for me, not for your parents, not for anyone. Only yourself. You'll be alright. I promise and I'll be by your side through it all.

Love you a million,
Henry K.
