Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on...
My Heart will go on- By Celine Dion
Part One

My Dearest Scout,
It's me again, Ian. wow I think I'm beginning to sound really pathetic here; no matter your used to it. today is a special day today as for once I'm not going to write about my career and how great it is, because it is great but that's not what I'll be talking to you about.
Today I am going to tell you a little about my life after you died; some of it was wonderful and some of it has been tragic. I think the most tragic part of my life was when you died, because I'll be honest with you my love that event changed me forever.
I don't think I have ever told you about my life until now and I hope you don't hold it against me for moving on eventually. well let's see I believe it starts off about the time after you died.
It was still our fifth year at Hogwarts and after you died I was a wreck, unfortunately that's all I really remember as I was so out of it I don't know what happened from after seeing your dead body in the chamber of secrets to the day I met Arya Ronalds and Aurelia Riviera. Mitch and Lance told me how I was like after you died and it just didn't sound like me, but It still happened.
The day I met Arya, (who would eventually become one of my best friends) was sorta like a wake up call, her spunky personality just broke through my haze and we became friends, she helped me to see that I needed to live my life again though nothing could be done to take away the pain.
When I wasn't hanging out with my friends, I was in the library studying or just moping around. it was a day that I was in the library that I met Aurelia. where Arya's spunky-ness was a nice change, Aurelia's compassion and straightforwardness was something I didn't realize I needed until the day she asked me what was wrong.
I think she knew as who hadn't known about your death by then but she was there to listen and in return I listened to her; we became friends and before I knew it I had developed feelings for her.
Though you were still on my mind and heart and I was still grieving I couldn't help not falling for her. it was around this time that I have began to pick up the hints that Arya had fallen for me. fortunately for her in the long run I didn't feel the same way about her as she ended up dating Lance in our fifth year and then married him six years after leaving Hogwarts and went on to have three kids with him, but they went through a lot before that happened but that's another story.
As time went by me and Aurelia grew closer and then we began dating in secret but not for long because before we could tell her, Arya found out. she didn't talked to me for weeks after that and though I felt bad for hurting her I was happy again.
When I look back on it years later I realized that besides our issues that would come later in our relationship, maybe Aurelia felt second best when compared to you. no matter how many times I told her that she came first I think deep down she didn't believe that and neither did I. I told her early on when she asked if I still loved you and I said that I did and maybe our whole relationship had a ghost with us. it makes me sad to think that because there is probably some truth to that.
We dated for ten months and during that time Aurelia became friends with Gina again, and (as they had a falling out back when they were first years) I proposed to her because I loved her already by then and I wanted us to be together forever. that sounds cliche I know but during that time in my life that was how I felt. she accepted it and we were happy and content and in love.
Sometime during our fifth year she met and became friends with this guy Natsu who I didn't see as a threat back then but maybe I should have. then the summer before our sixth year she invited me to her home to meet her parents; she was very quiet about her home life to the point she never talked about it or wanted to go home which by the time I met her parents and saw what went on I realized why that was. Aurelia didn't have a happy home life and when I saw what went on I wanted her out of there but she refused to go.
I didn't really think about it at the time but as I look back on it I begin to think that maybe by showing me what she went through at home would make me break up with her, but that was farther from the case as I would have done anything to keep her safe. I did fail in that respect.
One day during the vacation after coming back from hanging out with Arya (as she was alone because Lance had gone on vacation that summer), though I didn't want to leave, Aurelia told me to go so I went but I wasn't gone long, and it was the biggest mistake of my life as when I got back to her house I found her in terrible shape. I got her out of there as soon as I could and took her to my home.
I would find out much later that Natsu had visited her at her home (while I was there) a few days before she got hurt. Aurelia ended up staying at my home in Somerset for the remainder of the summer which was the last good days that we would have as by the time our sixth year started she had broke off the engagement.
I think I'll stop here for today you know to keep the suspense going; you were always a good listener Scout and I have no idea if we would have been together forever if you had lived but call me selfish I like to think that we would have. anyway until tomorrow my love.
Sincerely yours forever,
Ian
There you go part one of the letter to Scout from Ian. Part two coming up... :D
Authors Note: To those that don't know why I chose this song for the letter well I'm sorry for that. you see Scout was Ian's girlfriend at the time when the forum was brand new. however for plot purposes she was killed off very brutally. Ian was in love with her so her death was very hard and tragic for him and though you will read what Ian's life was like, I like to think that Scout was his one true love even though he loved Aurelia and Violet (who you will read about soon) I think Ian loved Scout more which was why deep down him and Aurelia didn't make it. anyway I'll stop there, anymore and I would have spoiled everything. :D
P.S- The forum link is in the profile if anyone is interested.
P.S #2- If anyone wants to know how old Ian is as he writes this letter, he was born in November of 1996. This chapter was dedicated to Alyssa A.K.A Mother-Bear and Darling Iona thank you very much.
