9. The Feather Letter (Part Two)

They are naturally unafraid of any dark forces; when the critical moment arrives, I believe they will also take up their wands to fight like the young ones do—however, they cannot bear to see you come to any harm

Spring 1973

The reincarnated Merlin's big cousin, filled with love and a sense of responsibility

Although the Greengrass family does not have deep roots in England, your grandparents were indeed very famous scholars and wizards, and they had many old friends! Even if they wanted to feign ignorance, others would remember the long-standing history of this pure-blood family—one that has nearly intermarried with all the renowned great wizarding families.

Although the Dark Lord has left behind a group of Death Eaters, we are not afraid; we can still handle these individuals.

The most pitiable is the third party, who still has several years to endure. However, he is clearly not worried at all. He has decided to secretly organize a group at school to combat those Death Eater classmates and to help the new students avoid being bullied

I believe I am not suited to be a teacher, writing these words has been quite painful, and my preaching has been somewhat lengthy. I trust that you will make a wise choice

The situation here has become somewhat relaxed. In the letter you secretly sent last time, you mentioned that Germany is not Voldemort's ultimate target, and that he will leave, so we need to be patient— it seems you were right

Our dearest cousin Abby

Fortunately, you do not have many letters; otherwise, that poor chicken would surely be plucked bald!

You always say that Hogwarts is very dangerous, but I do not understand what exactly is dangerous. However, I would like to use a phrase you once said to persuade you: "The most dangerous place is the safest place"

However, my little cousin, I believe your good fortune has come to an end. This time, Mr. Green has made up his mind; he stated in the letter that he will tie you up and bring you over, no matter what.

Next, we have decided to re-emerge into the world. We have many tasks to accomplish: there are numerous wizards who have lost their families and need assistance, many broken wizard families that need to be reunited, and many wizards who have been harmed by dark magic that require healing—Joseph will be helping in this regard, as he has already decided to become a doctor

Soon, it seems that Voldemort has also left Germany, leaving behind only a portion of his followers and a terrifying castle. I believe our darkest days are behind us, and in just two or three years, as you said—winter has come, but is spring far away

Given the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Voldemort arrives in the United Kingdom. You always believe that as long as one remains inconspicuous, trouble will not come knocking at the door. However, do you think the Greengrass family is just some insignificant player?

When darkness falls, Hogwarts is undoubtedly the safest place, after all, there is Headmaster Dumbledore there. I believe that in the short term, Voldemort would not dare to approach his doorstep. Moreover, he has always had a good relationship with the Gringotts couple, and I trust that he will take good care of you

Cassandra was the priestess of ancient Troy, renowned for her prophecies

Here, I reluctantly mention that everyone says that since Little Wolf arrived, Little Three has matured a lot and looks like a big brother. However, I secretly tell you that the guy is just pretending—yesterday he even put a grasshopper on my bed!

You are resolutely unwilling to attend Hogwarts, resorting to tricks and feigning illness, having devised many schemes. Mr. Green has been trying hard to persuade you, but we know that since you turned 7, he has never been able to outtalk you. You have been playing tricks and pretending to be ill at home for three years now, and we cannot understand why you so despise Hogwarts, as far as we know, it is a very good school

The letter from your grandparents was addressed to your father. When Grandpa and Grandma opened the letter, they pretended to be disdainful, resolutely refusing to read the "nonsense of those two black-hearted Englishmen." However, the understanding father read the letter aloud. Grandpa pretended to be writing something, but the quill pen was not dipped in ink at all. Grandma was "slowly" arranging flowers in the vase, yet she trimmed a beautiful rose down to just the bud.

Let the storm come even more fiercely! This simple fool, we are all proud of him

It has been a long time since I last saw you, and I wonder how you look now. We still prefer the appearance of little pig Abby. Your grandfather mentioned in his letter that our little girl from the Green family is as beautiful as the moonlight, but unfortunately, she does not like to go out; otherwise, there would have been boys vying for your attention long ago

Let this letter conclude here! By the way, please extend our thanks to Bonnie; her skills have improved remarkably. We thoroughly enjoyed the snacks you sent last time, and your shrinking spell worked quite well, keeping the food very fresh and delicious.

Do not blame him, I believe you have your reasons for not going to Hogwarts, but he also has his own compelling reasons for wanting you to go. Does he not wish for his precious granddaughter to always be by his side?

I miss you

( Do you also believe the words of the elderly who spoil children, that a little girl can be good for anything? )

(I feel like throwing up again)

When we showed your letter to our father and the others, they exclaimed that you should be renamed Cassandra, as your predictions are even more accurate than the weather forecasts in the Muggle world. However, I solemnly declared to them: this is not some mystical divination, but wisdom, wisdom, the power of the mind

Over the years, you have become the entire focus of the lives of the old couple, Mr. and Mrs. Green. You are their very existence, and if anything were to happen to you, I believe they would not wish to live either, for they love you so dearly

How are you? It has come to our attention that you have grown taller than a flying broom (is that even possible?), and we all feel quite regretful. It seems our little darling has indeed grown up. In Mr. Gray's last letter to your father, he praised you as if you were a flower, and we believe you are doing very well

Finally, I wish your family happiness and good health, and I sincerely hope that we can take a true family photo together

During this period, Voldemort's confidants and minions have begun to leave Germany one after another, heading towards France, and we hope that Beauxbatons is already prepared. Recently, we have learned of a piece of news that in France, some half-blood children of Veela, elves, and wizards are starting to be persecuted, these poor children

When reading news about you, Grandpa and Grandma's ears almost perked up— it seems that saying one thing while meaning another is not just a tradition of your family, the Grins

By the way, little Wolf, he has now become the most beloved child in our family. His mother wishes she could hold him all the time, even wanting to sleep with him at night, which makes his father somewhat melancholic. The little guy is growing quickly; his grandparents feed him as if he were a little pig, and soon he has become quite chubby. He enjoys rolling around on the carpet, resembling a bit like you did when you were young, and he is very adorable. We plan to wait until he is two years old to tell him that he is the child of our distant relatives, whose parents died in an accident. We do not wish for him to have a childhood filled with resentment.

Looking forward to the day we meet again

Of course, we still have to finish our studies; I only have one thesis left to complete. Joseph has decided to drop out and go directly to take the medical qualification exam, as he has already mastered everything taught at school. In fact, he could no longer tolerate those menacing Death Eaters at school—who were once our classmates. I feel very regretful.

Next, let us address your concerns, dear little cousin

You are so intelligent, you should be aware of these important relationships

You have always been a dutiful and good child. Rather than watching the two of them grow increasingly worried, it would be better to comply with their wishes and go to Hogwarts, wouldn't it

"Wizards are the favored ones of the deities, especially pure-blood wizards; such noble bloodlines should not be tainted." That is what those madmen say

PS: The feather inserted this time was plucked by little Wolf himself, isn't it beautiful? Unfortunately, he was pecked on the hand by that proud rooster, but he bravely did not cry!
