letter from parents
the morning owls had already started coming through the great hall when aeron sat down for breakfast. he wasn’t really paying attention ,he was half-asleep, hair still messy just staring at his toast.gryffindor table as always was loud,everyone acted like old friends. when he picked up egg owl dropped letter to him
he looked at it, then at the owl who was already gone. dark red wax seal stamped with the blackthorn crest. letter from his parents,long waited for Aeron since he wanted to know what family thinks about his first month at hogwarts
he wiped his hands and picked it up, turning it once before breaking the seal. the handwriting was elegant. definitely his father’s, it smelled like their manor
“Aeron,
We have received word from the school regarding your sorting and early performance. To say we were surprised would be understatement. Blackthorn in Gryffindor well, I suppose there is a first for everything. Your mother insists it shows ‘courage.’ I hope she is right.
Remember who you are.
Do not embarrass the family.
— Father.”
he read it twice, maybe three times. there was no warmth, no “we miss you,” no “hope you’re eating well.” just… that. he wasn’t really surprised, though. that was how his father always was
he folded the letter back neatly, staring at the crest for a long time. a few students nearby laughed at something, but it all sounded distant. he could still hear his father’s voice in his head the same one that always sounded like command
he didnt have any more desire to eat so he just sat there and waited for someone else to leave table so he wouldnt look like lonely loser
