-Dear beloved father, Dear, Lavi

Yes father I called you by your middle name! There's a lot of things I want to say to you. First of all, I want to say that I made it to the Slytherin Quidditch team, father. As a Beater just like you. Are you proud of me yet? The last time you said you were proud of me before I boarded the train. It was also the last time you hugged me.

I know that your job could put you in danger from time to time but never in my wildest dream that I lost you in such young age and I hated you for it. I hated you for being so cold and distant toward my mother and I. I hated you for being an absent parent. I hated the way you show me how proud you are of me by patting me on the back.

It was not enough, dad! and it will never be enough. And mostly I hated you because I loved you so much it hurt. You always demanded I to be perfect. To be perfect just like you. And guess what, father? I am not you and I will never be like you. The next thing I wanted to say was what happened to us, father?

But more importantly, what happened to you? We used to be a caring, doting, loving and warm kind of family but that changed. That changed when you and mother put your jobs first above me and I wanted to say it did not affect me at all but it did. I felt like both of you loved your jobs more than me.

Your only child. Your flesh and blood that you are supposed to put as a priority. But I guess I will always be your second best after your job. Then that horrible day came along. Mother sent me a Howler for all the school to hear. Mother told me that you were missing on the job and several months later some Ministry people came knocking on our door telling us that you were gone.

You were gone, father; just like that. HOW COULD YOU LEAVE US LIKE THAT?! Do you know I looked up to you? Do you know that you were my hero? You can be a horrible of a father but still you are my dad. The one that always picked me up when I'm down. But now you were gone, how am I supposed to do or say?

Mother acted like your passing did not affect her at all and it broke my heart, father. How could you leave your true love without saying goodbye to her? If you do not want to say goodbye to me, I could understand that. It hurt but I think I can manage. But not saying goodbye to your kind-hearted wife? that just cruel and another level of messed up, father.

I wish I do not miss you as much as I do right now but I would be lying and you taught me to always said the truth albeit it will hurt other people's feelings. There is still a lot I wanted to say to you, father but I wanted to say it face to face. Now, you were gone; I can not do that, can I, father? Siempre estarás en mi corazón, padre. You will always be in my heart, father.

The one that too proud to say that I missed you,

📩 A. Olívia Aleta Ironwoods (Cash's Mother) #02 Trying My Best - Anson Seabra Please listen to the music while read the letter Letter was written in Spanish Ironwoods Manor Oxfordshire Monday, July 19th 2021

Dear beloved mother,

As I write this in my room, I can hear your joyous laughter. The laugh that I longed to hear after my father's passing. Guess the other man that can make you laugh like that besides father is Uncle Enzo. Speaking of Uncle Enzo, why don't you tell me about him or the fact that you have a brother? I knew this because one of his kids - Ronnie - sent me an owl several months ago.

Yes, mother; your brother has children. Four to be exact. They are Alex, Venice, Verona - Ronnie - and the youngest called by Izzie. Do you know about them or am I the last one to know? I thought we are a family, mother. But as long as I remembered, the three of us stopped becoming a family the moment father got a nice promotion on his job and you also got a higher position down at St. Mungo's.

I was all alone, mother. You thought I had all figured it out, but you forgot that I am still a child that always needs your guidance. And the saddest part was I wished that you could see the pain that I've felt and seen. At home or school, I fake a smile. Thinking maybe if I acted in a certain way, I could be me again.

The real me. But it is not what I was hoping for. It is completely the opposite. I am worried about you, mother. I never saw you grief after father's passing. Or maybe you have done it and you did it in the safety of your bedroom. Do you know there are 7 emotional stages of grief? They are shock or disbelief, denial, bargaining, guilt, anger, depression, and acceptance.

Have you done all of that? Or did you do what you always did which is pretend it did not affect you at all?. I guess you chose the latter. I see you around the Manor, mother. You carry on with your life like half of you weren't missing and you didn't feel like dying inside. Because I am, mother.

I am dying inside that I saw you acted so indifferent about this whole deal but I am trying my best. I am trying my best to be okay. But as days become weeks. Weeks become months and months become years, the pretense that I do in front of you suffocating me, mother. Every day it is getting harder and harder to breathe.

There are a lot of things I want to say to you from my heart but with you so busy with your life and job, you don't have time for me anymore. We used to be close to each other. I could vent to you about anything but now that happy memory faded away. As I said, mother; I have a lot of things I want to say to you.

If you wanted to get back what we had lost, I could let you inside. All you have to do is just ask or simply come and talk to me, mother. I just missed you so much, dear mother. Your hug, laugh and loving smile are what I longed to hear and see. You and father always see me as your precious gem but would you believe me if I told you that I've got flaws?

Recently I called someone back at school a Mudblood. A word that you hated the most. I tried not to become like him, mother. But I guess without you and father in my life, I slowly become my own worst enemy. And I do not blame you, mother for being so absent in my life up to this point.

I fully understand that to have a respectable position, you need to sacrifice something. Sadly, that was me. But do not worry, mother I am already used to the cold and empty feeling. Barclay, Ceeley, Maritza, and the other helpers we have at this Manor helped me fill that empty void albeit it is not what I wanted.

I guess it is better than nothing at all. I am trying my best to be okay even though I am breaking inside and every day it's so hard to convince myself that I am okay. But I am strong, I can get past this on my own and one day I hope we can be what we used to be. And when that day comes, I will say all the words I want to say to you from my heart. I longed to have our closeness again, mother.

Please be my mom again,

📩 Blake Lawrence Edward Bayne (One of Cash's [ex]Bestfriend at Hogwarts back in their 1 st year) #03 I Lost a Friend - FINNEAS Please listen to the music while read the letter Ironwoods Manor Oxfordshire Tuesday, July 20th 2021

Dear Mr. Bayne Blake,

It is funny how a memory that we shared - albeit it was a short one - reminded me of you. I remembered I was that arrogant - still do - Pureblood kid that trying to find their first friend(s) in that big and rustic castle until I approached Lizzie; you also came along to our table. Well, it is yours and Lizzie since I sat at Ravenclaw's table that fine morning.

We talked about anything on that first morning. You told me that your specialties were Herbology and the History of Magic. You also told me - us - that you liked exploring and wandering about when it's allowed. Do you remember that? I am supposed to write at the beginning of this letter by asking how you have been these days or these couple of years.

It already had been two years since the last time I saw you. So, how are you, Blake? I do not know whether you still remember me or not but I still do. You never forgot your first friend at Hogwarts. Then our next meeting when the three of us had that little study session at the library followed we met again at that disastrous Blossom Ball.

Speaking of Blossom Ball, I do not attend this year's Ball. Shocking isn't it? The great Cash - yes, now I go by Cash instead of Cassie like you knew two years ago - did not attend such a party. You well know I do not like parties despite my blood status. Anyhow, these couple of days I kept thinking back.

I kept thinking back to what went wrong with our friendship. And here I am lying awake as I count all the mistakes I've made to you. I keep replaying all the fights between us. The thing is, Blake, I do not know. I do not know what when wrong with us or maybe we just drifted apart as we grow older.

All I know is that I missed you. I kept telling myself that I do not need you. That I will be fine without you and yet here I am, almost midnight, all I can think about is to write this letter for you. A single question that keep circling back over and over again in my head was how did I lose a friend I never had? You are a great guy, Blake.

Wherever you are right now, I hope you have a good life and still consider me as one of your good friends. I will be alright, Blake. I know, I will. Maybe not tonight or the next night or maybe for a couple of days, weeks, months or even years. But eventually, I will be okay. You do not have to worry about me, Blake.

Then another thought came into my mind. Maybe if I apologized to you for whatever I had done to you, we could still be friends. If I thought it might make a difference or make you listen, I definitely will apologize to you even though I do not know what my mistake was. Back then I thought life is just black and white.

Two years ago, I was this arrogant little kid that thought the world revolved around them. But life is different now, Blake. It is funny how the span of two years can change someone's perspective regarding what they value in their life. I think I know what my mistake was to you, Blake. Do I take our friendship and you for granted?

Or maybe I said I never needed you? But I do, Blake. I do need you and I definitely am not fine without you or our friendship. If those two are the things I wronged you, I apologized from the bottom of my heart. As I said, you are a great guy, Blake. Do not ever change. I am glad and proud that I was your best friend once upon a time.

If one day fate and time are kind to us, I will apologize to you in person. It would not bring our closeness like we used to be again but at least we still can be friends, right?

Until we meet again, Blake;

📩 Lizzie Verdine @Stanley Button #04 the voicemail - Skye Love Please listen to the word while read the letter Ironwoods Manor Oxfordshire Wednesday, July 21st 2021

Dear Lizzie Ms. Verdine,

You wondered why I addressed you so formally? It is because I do not know where we stand, Liz. One minute I had you as my friend and within a split second, you were gone. You ran out from me and my life like your house is on fire. I was so happy that I found a friend in you back when we were still in our First year at Hogwarts.

Do you remember how we met, Liz? Because I do. I was this closed-off Pureblood kid that afraid to let someone in. Because I know if I let you or anyone else into my life and they left me, I know I will never be the same again. I remembered I walked up to you, making myself brave to the unknown. We become a fast friends that day.

You, Blake, and I. The two of you were my first friends at Hogwarts. Then Blake has suddenly gone and you also did the same. Not suddenly but gradually and I was all alone. I remembered that you told me - us - that your specialties are Music, Astronomy, and something else that I can not recall. I also remembered that you said some Gryffindor take you as a stalker.

I always wondered who that might be until I saw you hanging out with her back when we had our very first Summer Camp from Hogwarts that year. Then my insecurities got the best of me, Liz. I questioned my worth. Was I not good enough for you? Was I enough but not much more? Was I not the extra shining sparkle you were looking for?

Was I simply just another test drive for you? It hurt, Liz that you chose her over me. You were my friend first, not hers. But I guess I understood why you chose her over me. She was not me. She's not a person that too afraid to get attached or open up to someone else. She excited you and I just bring you down with my coldness and my nonchalant act.

You chose her and not me because I meant literally nothing to you. And I guess I was too much for you and who said friend could not break your heart?. But Liz, do you ever miss me as I missed you? Do you ever wonder about me? Like the way, I wondered about you? Because I do. I remembered the second last time we met before you were completely out of my life was when one of my dorm mates held that get-together thing.

You were with Zykeal that year and I do not know that both of you were together. And in that event, you seem like you were not okay and I wonder if you are alright. I wanted to ask but that was not my place anymore, so I can not ask you that. You still owe me a duet, Liz and I will patiently wait for that day to come.

But Liz, I could not pretend. I could not pretend that I did not approach you that day and try to build a bond that I know I will mess up eventually. I could not pretend that it didn't happen. Then my memory took me back to the day I wronged you. To the day when we participated in that back-to-school event before the Second year.

It was the last day and time I ever saw you around Hogwarts. If only I did not try to sabotage you on that game, I still have you as my friend. It was just a game for me, Liz and I guess it was not for you. Do you even think about what happened and wondered where we would be if I did not do that? I thought I could fix what I wronged you as we go into our Second year.

But I guess fate and destiny did not want that for us. Silly me. I thought the odds were in my favor. We had a strong bond back then, Liz. And I believed we were stronger than that. Because something, as we had, does not just crash and burn after somebody's mistake. But I just wanted to know, did you actually care about me, or was it really just a game for you?

I am not blaming you though, I do realize that I have a lot of baggage that I carried with me. Look, Liz; wherever you are and who your friends are right now, I just wanted you to see that I understand if you are happy without me. I might not say this out loud but your happiness is always important to me, Liz.

So be happy with or without me, because that is all I want from you. I just hope you know how much I care about you. And lastly, thank you for our lovely yet heartbreaking memories. Albeit it was short-lived, I will cherish it. Siempre Forever.

I see you around, Liz.

📩 Cricket Mercury (Cash's first crush) #05 Closure - Hayd Please listen to the music while read the letter Ironwoods Manor Oxfordshire Thursday, July 22nd 2021

Dear Cricket,

First of all, I do not know why I wrote you this letter. It is not like I am going to send this letter to you. But I guess it is better for me to write down all of my pent-up feelings I had for you. Do you remember how we met? Because I do. It seems that line I kept using for the last three letters I wrote. First, it was in Blake's letter, then Lizzie's, now I used the same line in yours.

If you wondered who is Blake and Lizzie, well.. I rather not talk about them. I rather talk about us. But if you wanted to know, Blake and Lizzie used to be my best friends, and the three of us had just gone apart. It was not my decision, it was theirs. They left me just like you. And no, I am not mad at you, Cricket. I was just confused.

One day we met under that oak tree near the Great Lake and the next, you were gone. Just like that. No one saw you. That oak tree used to be your favorite place and now it is my favorite because it reminded me of you. I keep hoping if I kept coming back to our favorite place, you might show up one day. But it is just my wishful thinking.

You promised me that you will be my date for the Masquerade Ball. I waited for you there but you never show up and to be honest, it was not the best feeling to get stood up and from one Pureblood to another, you successfully make me like a fool. I never waited for anyone and yet foolish me, I waited for you.

I am not mad at you, Cricket but that was a lie. I was mad at you for not keeping your promise to me. I was mad at you for standing me up and I was mad at you that you do not have the decency to say it in front of my face and in person. I have so many questions for you. We met one day and we fell fast and hard to each other.

Did we both fall in love before we were ready? I mean I never had a crush before you, so I do not know if what we did could be categorized as that. Or maybe did we both give up before we go steady? I was about to ask you to be my girlfriend but I never get the chance to do that. Did I come too strong? Was that the reason you ran away from me?

You know; I never told you this but as long as I remembered, I was alone until you came along. I thought by knowing you, the predicament that I am in could change but it stayed the same. You left me and now I am all alone. Maybe you heard from the grapevine that my family is complicated and I am too much of a mess for you to handle.

So you decided to stay away from me and anything associated with the Ironwoods. I am not blaming you though. If I were you, I would do the same thing too. The next question that came to my head were we both too scared or maybe were we well - prepared for the future and all the mistakes that we will bear?

There are so many questions in my head that I wished I get the chance to ask you but since you were already gone and no one saw you, I will never get that answer from you. These are also the thought that I never said to you that I kind of wish I did, I mean our mutual attraction was like a roller coaster. You were already gone before I got the chance to get to know you better.

And here I thought with how fast we fell for each other, you are the one for me. If you were, my father will be thrilled. Well, he will be mad at first because I dated a girl but when he knows that you are a Pureblood, it would not be an issue whether I dated a girl or not. But I guess our timing was off. We should have not met under that oak or this young.

Maybe we would be closer if we met sometimes in the future or we were a couple of years older. Guess sometimes you fall in love then one day feels like you wake up and everything's over without any closure. Because that is what I felt, C. I felt that you were too good to be true for me. That day felt like a dream for me. Your blonde hair and your blue eyes.

Your blue eyes were the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It remind me of the clearest sky and deepest ocean I have ever seen but then I woke up and now, you are just a memory for me. A distant yet beautiful memory. This is heartbreaking but also some sort of closure for me that I never get from you. I need to close this chapter of my life and move on.

I hope life treats you well and hopefully, we met again in the future,

📩 Henry William Knight @Henry Knight #06 Freaks - Jordan Clarke Please listen to the music while read the letter Letter was written in French Ironwoods Manor Oxfordshire Friday, July 23rd 2021

Dear Henry,

If you wondering why I write you a letter in French, don't ask. Kidding! I write you a letter in French because first, it was a good exercise for me. Second, I ran out of black ink to write the letter in. Okay.. so you know there's a lot of movies that depicted how a girl and a boy have a meet-cute for their first meeting? There's no cuteness about our first meeting.

We met under a tragedy in our first meeting. My tragedy to be exact. Remember that blasted Howler that my mom sent for the whole students' bodies to hear? It was not a pleasant feeling to be honest. My mother has no tact whatsoever to broadcast my family business for the whole school to hear. But I am glad that my mom sent that Howler. If not then I never met you.

You alongside Rose, Scarlett, and Miranda came to my aid after that I received that life-changing letter. The four of you calm me when I almost had my panic attack. As our bond and friendship grow; to be honest I envy you, H. You are so sure of yourself. You are so steady facing your inner storm not as I did.

I wished I could express myself more like you but I was not built to be that way without you realizing it, you show me how. I was surprised how fast we could be friends with each other. I never realized how much I need you in my life. You, Kara, and Starlee become constant people in my life. I used to be alone and then the three of you barged into my life.

Then suddenly I was not alone anymore. Though I must say, sometimes you annoyed me. The good kind of annoyed. I should have been mad at you when you know my deepest secret. I should have been mad at you for following me down to the Chamber that day and you know that I am a Parsel. I do not like when people know my secret without my consent.

And yet again you managed to surprise me. After you know that I am indeed a Parsel, you told me that you are a werewolf. You told me with such ease and you do not judge me because I am a Parsel. I do not know what drives you to tell me your secret. That was another thing that I envy you, H. You seem not to phase whether the other people know that you are not like any other human being.

I never understood the concept of the found family until I met you, Kara, and Starlee. I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Waiting for either you, Kara or Starlee left me alone. Was it bad that I have a thought like that? When the three of you show me nothing but genuine friendship and kindness.

Before you, Kara and Starlee come along; my friendship streak was not that great. But the three of you change that in the span of a short amount of time. I can always be myself when I am around the three of you. No pretense and it felt so liberating. Though I might not say this out loud, H; I am thankful that you are one of my best friends.

To be honest, I really need the kind of friendship that you gave to me without asking something in return from me. That was something I rarely felt until you come along. We are so different from one another but I think that is what makes our friendship so unique. You got my back and I got yours too.

Your genuine friendships slowly heal my loneliness. And for that, I have no other word than a massive thank you. Hope this friendship will last for a lifetime no matter where we are when we get older.

3 years down and forever to go.

Cheers, mate!

📩 Kara Lilith Capricorn @Kara Capricorn #07 They Don't Know - Ariana Grande Please listen to the music while read the letter Ironwoods Manor - Oxfordshire Saturday, July 24rd 2021

Mi morrita My girl Kara Capricorn,

Its funny how we share the same hometown but outside school, we never met. To be honest, I do not what prompted me to write this letter. For a week I already wrote other letters that I addressed to other people aside from yourself. Anyhow, how are you? You remember how I could be awkward from time to time?

Well, that is me becoming awkward around you whether we see each other face to face or not. It seems you always could render me as an awkward mess and speechless around you. Usually, I hate it when someone puts me in that position but with you, I am okay with it. I just knew it that you are different.

A good kind of different from the moment we first met. I never believe those cliche meet-cutes that many movies or stories depicted it until I met you. We met that day in cold weather. I promise to myself that after my last two attempts having a crush on someone failed miserably, I will not fall for another person.

And yet you suddenly come into my life. As we got closer to each other, my feelings for you also increase. Until one day made myself brave and asked you to meet me at Leaky Cauldron a few days before Christmas. I am not sure if what we do is a date or not until you said it out loud. Both of us were awkward with each other that day.

Then you order a big glass of Pumpkin juice and the server told us that a big glass of Pumpkin juice is a sign of two lovers united. I spilled my hot chocolate on me twice but that is okay. We shared that Pumpkin juice and at that moment, I realized how beautiful you are. The scar that you often hide, does not define you.

You, your beautiful eyes and personality warm my cold heart. I told you once I am a person that hard to love but that fact did not deter you for one bit. You prove to me that you will stick by my side no matter what. You show me your bravery when my grandfather and uncle looked down on you just because you are a half-blood.

They are tirones jerks to you but you stood your ground. That is what I love like about you. My blood purist of a family did not push and scare you away. And to be honest, love; I need that kind of people in my life. My family can be a mess and I need someone that keeps me grounded. And I found that in you.

You keep me surprises after surprises. You were the one that make the first move by kissing me under that mistletoe at one of the restaurant I took you when we visited my uncle's home in São Paulo. You also the one that asked me to go steady with you during that P.U.R.E ball. It seems you took bravery to the heart.

I wish I could be like you one day. But love, I was not built to show my emotions. You can thank my father for it. He told me caring about and loving someone signs of weakness but being your significant other, you show me it could be my strength too. And slowly I learn from you. It will be a hard and long learning process.

But I believe with you by my side, I can do anything that I never dream of or think of. So Kara, thank you for being you, and please always stick with me even when I am in my hardest time.

Siempre será tuyo, Will always be yours,

Mi rayo de sol My ray of sunshine Starlee Kennedy,

The first thing that popped into my head when I heard or remember your name was you are definitely sunshine personified, Star. I remembered up until today how our first meeting. That meeting was one of the greatest day of my life. Do you remember it, Star? Because I do. I was just minding my own business and then you show up in front of my table.

You and your awkwardness are adorable. Usually, when strangers approached me, I get annoyed by it but I do not feel that way to you. I remembered I am still purple-haired back then and you complement that color which in my opinion if I am bored with my original roots, I may bring that color back but no promise.

After the awkwardness of your introduction was out of the way, I bring you to more secluded location Hogwarts have. The place where only special people like me can enter it. Then I told you that I am a Parsel at our first meeting. At that point you are still a stranger to me. I never told anyone else that I am one except my parents.

You are supportive of me and did not judge me for the talent that I have no control over. Something that my own parents can not give. I know from the get-go you are something else and our friendship will be amazing. Our bonds are special. You are like a sister that I never have. And to be honest, I was glad that you are my friend.

Both of us are completely different from one another. You, your optimism about how you see certain situations and the world, the bubbliness in you never failed to cheer me up. We are like black and white. Ying and Yang. I never thought that you are the one that could balance me out. Your positive traits was infectious.

Though I am still bitter, cold, distant, full of sarcasm, and rude from time to time but I never can be mad at you. You won my heart over with your adorable puppy-like enthusiasm. I never knew I needed a friend like you in my life until I met you. They say write down all of your feelings then it will liberate you.

This letter that I will never send to you is my eighth. I re-read my past letters and to be honest Star; I do not know why, it burdens me somehow. Maybe one day I will give this letter to you in person or maybe I would not but for what is worth, I am so glad that I met you and you are my friend. I think you, Henry, and Kara were the only people that I consider more than my friend. The three of you are my found family.

The one thing that I would not change for anything in this world. I also remembered you asked me to taught you how to speak Parsel. Though you never could speak it as I do, at least you can understand Parsel now. When you told me that you want to learn the snake language, I was skeptical at first since no one ever asked me to teach them that.

But you proved me wrong. Your persistence and will broke my skepticism towards your request. I never found someone so enthusiastic to learn a language that many people defined it as bad, dark, and just plain evil, except you. You made being a Parsel was not that bad. Something that I always thought about for years.

Then again, you are not most people, Estrella Star. You are you and you are a special one and I give thanks to the universe that they brought you to me. Our red threads and stars finally aligned. Like I said, Star; you are special and I, for one, am glad that you came into my life. Keep being you and never change no matter what the hardships you may endure in your life.

Sincerely,
╸Phoenix Cassandra Acosta Ironwoods - Ramiréz.

Dear Phoenix,

If you found this letter it is mean that you already reached adulthood. This is your past self wrote an awkward letter for their future selves. This year you were in your third year at Hogwarts. At this point you no longer went by as Cassie or Cash, well you still do call by Cash by the people that you held close and dear to your heart.

But most of the time people called you by Phoenix now. To be honest, I do not know if I should congrats you or be sad about you. If you read this letter then there are two possibilities. One, it is either you overcome the adversities in your life or two, you embraced your darkness. Whichever you chose, I am sure you felt deliberate by your own decision.

Getting to this point was not easy and seamless as you thought it would be. I am sure you remembered that you lost your father at such young age then another tragedy struck you. You lost someone that very close to you. Someone that you thought will always be there by your side despite everything that had happened in your life.

Both of them are gone in your life all so suddenly. Then life was not so kind to you yet again. You lost your mother when you were in your fourth year at Hogwarts. I do not mean to open old wounds but that old wounds shape you to be who you always meant to be. I always know there is a fighter in you.

Though life was not kind to you, you chose not to break down and gave up. Well, there was a moment that you want to give up but the care and love your los Abuelos grandparents from your mother's side gave to you kept you alive. You were a jerk to them. You were cold and distant to them. You put them at arm's length.

You were afraid that they might leave you like how your parents left you. But they stuck around despite your rotten behavior. Because of them, you are still alive. Their love for you is the purest type of love. The type of love that did not ask for anything in return. I am sure you remembered how you treat them but you are also grateful that they stick around.

Despite your life trials and turbulences, you kept pushing through. You gave that rude gesture to all the hardship you endured. You burned yourselves - figuratively, of course - to the ashes and become your namesake. A Phoenix. Dad (yes, this might be shocking to you but you made peace with yourself and start called father by dad again) was right to name you after that mystical bird.

You hated that name for years because back then you were still a child that full of ego and pride. But now Phoenix (I am talking about the bird, not your namesake) becomes your identity. Phoenix was known as a majestic and tough bird. You become that bird. That name really suits you, dear Phoenix.

You also were not afraid anymore. You were not afraid that people know that you are a Parsel. You embraced that unique talent. You are outspoken, rude, and still sarcastic. You are more sarcastic throughout the years but that part is always in you whether people like it or not. The biggest accomplishment was you are not afraid to show your weaknesses.

Dad was wrong. Weaknesses could be your strongest point. But still, you did not show all your weaknesses. You hone your weakness to be a skill. A life lesson that dad never taught you but you taught yourself for it. And that's right there what makes you a champion. A winner in your life. For you and to you alone.

So Cash, whatever happens in your life from this point; keep pushing through. Keep being a champion for yourself. Because life always knocked you down along the way but no one deserved it better to call themselves a champion than yourself. Be who you always meant to be, because you only live once and there is no time to regret.

Embrace every moment because life is too precious and short not to live it like it is your last day,
