8. The Feather Letter (Part One)

Cousin San is a complete fool

However, the situation is becoming increasingly severe, as Voldemort's followers have begun to kill.

Let this letter end here. We will hide the letter at the bottom of the candy box and have inserted a chicken feather on top, hoping that this letter can safely reach its destination

A few days later, Joseph suggested that we secretly visit the now-destroyed estate of Delitay. So, one deep night, we went there, witnessing the once-beautiful garden transformed into a wasteland. Xiaosan angrily cursed loudly, once again wanting to seek revenge. At that moment, can you guess what we discovered?

Children, you are correct; being assertive does not equate to bravery, and taking a roundabout approach does not signify weakness. Let little Wolf be your fourth brother; you can either instill in him a sense of hatred or allow him to forget everything from the past and become a happy boy of the Beckmann family

An unparalleled cousin who embodies both beauty and intelligence

I must say, that individual is a very charismatic leader. We once blended into the crowd to listen to him speak, and he seems to possess an innate ability to inspire and captivate people, making it difficult not to be enchanted.

This massacre serves as a demonstration for us, the untamed pureblood families and wizarding factions. However, we cannot yield; we operate in secrecy, providing a little assistance to those wizards and Muggles in need. Little Three particularly enjoys doing this

They were all terrified, as they originally thought that the actions of the three of us over the past two years were either influenced by the teacher's hints or coincidental blessings from our ancestors. They never dreamed that all of this was told to us by you

However, what saddens us is that we do not have many companions, as many of our classmates, friends, and their families have joined Voldemort's faction

I hope your height remains the same as when I last saw you, because that way we can still continue to lift you up to the ceiling.

The Delrit family rejected Voldemort's demands and openly opposed him, but the result was that the Delrit Manor was brutally slaughtered. Yes, it was a despicable ambush; those madmen did not even spare their little daughter, the freckled Lida, who was only 7 years old. You even held her in your arms last time.

The little boy cried as he recounted the chaotic events of that day. In the final moments, when the family faced annihilation, the elder of the Delitai family used his last breath to hide his grandson and gave him a note, saying that they would come, and when the time came, he should hand the note to them

However, at that time, we were also half-convinced, because after all, ever since the incident with Grindelwald, we had been at peace for a long time, long enough for everyone to have forgotten the terror of dark magic, long enough to have lost the vigilance that was necessary

I feel like I am going to vomit

Xiao San is overjoyed; he can finally be an older brother, so you now have an additional little cousin. After we discussed it, we decided to cast a forgetting spell on him, so this child is unaware of the past calamity, and he is very happy now

Yesterday at breakfast, my father boasted for the 342nd time that if it weren't for his help, Aunt Emma and Uncle Edward would not have escaped, and of course, you would not exist. Therefore, the fact that there is a little angel like you in this world is largely due to his contributions

Spring 1971

The handwriting on the note is very messy, and it is believed to have been written in a state of chaos and haste, with bloodstains all over it

However, based on his actions, you are right; this guy is a lunatic

Cousins, keep it up, I hope that one day you can become high-ranking officials

In the cellar of the Delitai family, we discovered their youngest son, 5-year-old Wolf. We pulled him out. The little boy had been hiding there for several days, with food available. The cellar was secured with a reverse spell, making it impossible to open from the inside, and could only be unlocked with a minor spell from the Delitai family—how wonderful.

It was not until the self-proclaimed Dark Lord Voldemort brazenly arrived on our territory, completely disregarding some ancient powers, and aggressively expanded his influence while recruiting followers, that everyone began to understand the situation, but by then it was already somewhat too late

Additionally, please send my regards to Bonnie, the little sprite who cries. The pastries it baked have left us with lasting memories

Dear little cousin, you are the pride of us all! We love you very much!

Dear Cousin Abby

I told them, it is not the blessing of ancestors, it is wisdom, the power of wisdom, derived from the information and maps you have analyzed.

Of course, the matter of your eavesdropping has also been exposed, but considering that it has been two years, you probably won't be punished, right?!! Father has decided to write a letter to Mr. Green, so you should count your blessings!!

Long time no see, during these dreadful days, we hardly dare to send letters, as spies and traitors are everywhere, and we do not know which wizards can be trusted

Up to now, how many disasters have we avoided because of you! We are family, so there is no need to say thank you

Hello, how is your health? Are you still as chubby as a little pig? (You are the little pig, your whole family is made up of little pigs!)

I am now nestled under the blanket, secretly writing a letter, with the firefly lamp generously sponsored by your second cousin beside me, while the third party is keeping watch at the door

Xiao San is particularly upset because he is very close to the four boys from the Delitai family. In fact, we had secretly shared your information with their family before, but they did not believe it. They are unwilling to consider your opinion, as they take pride in their pure-blood lineage. Xiao San has repeatedly tried to persuade them, but they still refuse to listen

I love you

This time, the three of us unusually did not criticize him for his boasting. My father was very pleased and said that we had grown up, but I think he misunderstood again. (Poor uncle @ @ @)

Cousin San, you are so pitiful, being bullied

Fortunately, we have your reminder, and we arranged our escape route early on. I pretended to have "Lynap Syndrome" and stayed home to recuperate, while my dear second brother—Joseph—has left school temporarily to find medicine for me. I really like this script of "deep brotherly love," but your second cousin does not; he has been sulking and even said—if you really have this illness, I will personally find you a beautiful cemetery—what a terrible brother he is. As for your last suggestion about hunting and the little pig, it was wonderful, and we all agreed to leave this excuse for the third one.

This is the curse of the red fruit, if you don't grow tall, you must pay for it

I am very pleased to receive your letter. Regarding the matters you mentioned in your correspondence, the three of us were quite surprised. At first, although there were faint whispers here, I must speak frankly that there was not a single wizard who could see things as clearly as our dear little cousin. I believe, as you once said, that those old fogies in high positions must have had their brains pinched by a door.

Regarding the matters you mentioned in your letter, you asked us to consider how much to tell the adults at home. However, it is unfortunate that that foolish younger brother of mine has revealed everything. I am deeply pained that someone as wise as I am has such a foolish sibling. Now, both grandparents and parents are already aware of it.

After the incident, the mistress cried for a long time. We administered a sedative to her to calm her down and prevent her from causing any trouble.
