Disclaimer: I will probably own only one character in this entire story, and even that is built from J.K. Rowling's world.
Enjoy!

For all that deceptive charm of yours, nephew, the insatiable curiosity cannot be concealed.
I am alive, thank you for asking, and that is as well as anyone can be in these times. I feel no inclination to dig up old bones, and prepare my own grave in the process. Did you know, in a schoolboy exploit, I did dig for supposed treasure - a pretty witch sent me on that foolhardiness. I never paid her back for that - she disappeared on a transatlantic flight.
I hope you are avoiding the rash behavior that almost cost you everything last year. A true Gryffindor you are certainly, boy, understanding the value of knowledge but audacious towards its consequences. Do not become news. I am not the only one keeping an eye on you, nephew.
A/N: Thanks for reading. I am making the first update in 11 years, which, depending on the way you look at it, makes me a sporadic writer or a loyal one. In addition to story ideas and universe that have not left my head, I have notes and draft chapters that I hope to share. Bear with me :)
