Dear Gabriel,
I know that you may not get this, because I don't even know if you're alive anymore, and if you do get this I know that you may not be able to answer…but please I'd like to know if you're alive or not. It's been a year and eight months since I've seen or heard from you and if I was any kind of smart I would just think you're dead. Dumbledore will not tell me if you are safe or not, which is very frustrating considering that you are my partner.
As you have probably guessed there is still no Minister, and the world as we know it is in complete chaos—I thought times were dark the month you left and that things couldn't get worse…well I was wrong. My Father's numbers are still growing and the Death Eaters out number the Order of the Phoenix twenty to one. Gabriel, I'm going to be very honest with you, I can't forgive you for leaving when you did…and I especially won't be able to forgive you if you're dead. Despite what you thought when you left I do need you. It's been very difficult hunting for Death Eaters at night with out because you were my partner. I trusted you and depended on you. I want you to come back that way the Order stands a fighting chance. I feel as if you have abandoned us, especially because Dumbledore doesn't even know where you are now. I'm trying very hard to believe that you haven't disappeared and returned to my Father, and if you have I'm going to hunt you down and murder you…and it won't be pleasant either you selfish bastard.
Gabriel, I miss you. We need your help in this fight, and I am begging you to return not for me, but for the sake of the Order and the world that we once knew. Please, write to me as soon as you can, and if you can't you know other ways of contacting me.
Signed,
Avery
