You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on.

February.25, 2043: Aboard the UK Astro Space Station...
My Dearest Scout,
I'm back! I know I'm extremely cheesy but I can't help it you make me like that; so this part of my letter would have to be possibly be called the good years because though seventh year was eventful or uneventful no matter how you look at it it was just another dramatic year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry.
So this start's off during my first year in college which I was happy to go to. you probably remember that I told you I would love to be an astronaut, well that didn't happen till later but college was the first step.
My girlfriend Violet who I mentioned earlier to you would have to be and would be my longest relationship. we moved in together right after Hogwarts and we both went to the same college too so we were never apart. Violet is not like you or Aurelia but you all have one thing in common, your lives have all been struck with cruelties in life.
You died, Aurelia had a unhappy home life and Violet well she was hurt real bad by someone she knew her whole life. I guess I like playing the knight in shiny armor because I seem to go for the girls that could use somebody; but that's where the differences end.
You were kind and you never let your troubles get to you and I felt helpless and guilty when you died because I couldn't save you; when I tried to help Aurelia because I was worried about losing her like I lost you she wouldn't let me. I feel that the right person to help her would have been someone she least expected. Aurelia is happy now, still as young as I remembered her, though I don't see her often but were still great friends.
Now Violet she's different, she sneaked up on me when I least expected it and though we had problems along the way, like her rape, and dealing with her nervousness afterwards we settled into a good life.
College was a blur as it went by really fast; during my first year more happened with everyone else then me. I studied and went to classes while taking Violet out on dates and stuff. by the time February came around only a couple months shy of the end of my first year of college Annabelle, Mitch's then girlfriend, now wife gave birth to Pandora Kendyll Easton-Blackthorn Young their first child. they made me and Gina the godparents which was a huge honor. another good thing was that Arya was able to spend some time out of the hospital which made Lance happy.
So for the next few years college life went on just like that; being with Violet, hanging with my friends, watching my godchildren grow, it really was the calmest years of my life. Violet was even getting better so she wasn't as twitchy as before. by the time the wedding that was long in coming approached I was now in the space academy program and training for my dream job and get this I wasn't the only one to pursue a career in that field.
Liam Bonafaire was also interested in the field and I think I was more shocked then he was because the last time I saw him, was at Zane and Lilly McLean's wedding. we actually have become really good friends, even better then we were from when we were attending Hogwarts. but enough about that as I'v already talked to you about my career in my other letters.
Well Lance and Arya did get married in February of 2020 and Lance sure took his sweet time; after that they went on their honeymoon. did you know that Arya was pregnant by then? yep they were expecting later in the year, but the other happy news came when Mitch and Annabelle had their second child Talon Perseus Easton-Blackthorn Young. they made Annabelle's brother the godfather and when they named Arya the godmother Arya was over the moon; it was a really good day I must say.
Then sometime in August Lance and Arya had their little boy, Brendan Gavin Knightley. he was adorable as a baby, who knew that he would grow up the way he did. it was a good thing that he met a good girl to help him change his ways which made Lance and Arya happy.
Well by the time everything calmed down I was now thinking of my own future with Violet and I knew what I wanted to do, so with her father's blessing I took her to a spot on the grounds of the estate the family had in Scotland and I proposed. she said yes of course I mean why wouldn't she but It was one of the greatest nights of my life and I'm sure her's as well.
After that weekend in Scotland everything was a whirlwind what with me still training in the space program and the wedding plans in full swing, thank god my mum was there to help because I would have lost my mind with all that planning and stuff going on. so I proposed to her in late 2020 and then we married in 2021.
It was a beautiful wedding I must say; All the women in my life, my mum, Gina, Morgana, Arya, Annabelle (when she wasn't taking care of Talon) along with my fiancee all helped with the planning, pretty much all me and the guys had to do was show up. secretly I was fine with that to be completely honest.
So for our honeymoon I took her to Australia and we spent two weeks there as I had to be back to training, but it was a nice vacation. when June of 2021 came around I completed the space program and because of my dedication and my training plus the knowledge I gained in college they hired me right away.
In late May before my graduation me and the family got the best news, Violet was pregnant with our first child which would be born in January 2022, but that was not all a few months later we found out that Mitch and Annabelle were expecting their third child in April, Gina and her husband Dash were expecting their first child together in May and Lance and Arya were expecting their second child in June.
We were all excited because that meant they would all be in the same year together just like me, Mitch, Lance and Gina when we were at Hogwarts. it was like fate, Mitch said and we all agreed. when our son was born my heart was so full of love for him. We named him Nathaniel LachIan Darius Blackthorn, he was so perfect and handsome that you just melted at the sight of him. my mum became the doting grandmother she always wanted to be, it was adorable to see them together.
When we married we moved into Blackthorn manor and that's where we lived from the day we came back from our honeymoon to everything that happened in mine and Violet's life. well as you know time passed and I took missions every few months year after year as I wanted to be near my children as they grew up, which we did have more of, two more boys and two girls.
So altogether we had Nathaniel, Caitlin, James II, Elizabeth, & Alexander; they are my pride and joy and with each one the love grew for them. Alex is the only one still in Hogwarts now but the other's have graduated now. Nate followed me into my profession, Cait went in the modeling industry (Much to her brother's and mine objection's) and James and Lizzie are still in college. I am very proud of them and if they were yours and mine you would be proud of them too.
Now I love my Violet and always will but my love I wish that you were here and that I married you, and these were our children, but darling we can't change things no matter how much I wished it.
So currently this is where my life is at and I know that you are up there watching over me but I wanted to tell you everything because frankly I still miss you and I wanted to get this out. just like my wife, and Aurelia I have never stopped loving or thinking of you, not for one day and I wait for the day that I will get to see you again my Minx, my tease, my love, because I love you too much to let you go. so just know my darling love that I have lived a great life so far and it can only get better and I hope it's you waiting for me on the other side.
Sincerely (till I see you again) yours forever,
LachIan Darius Stephen Blackthorn
Marquess of Somervine
Well there you go the third and final part of 'My Dearest Scout' stay tuned for the epilogue, and yes there is one LOL. :D
Author's Note: So I want to speak about my feelings on this story as I found out it can be controversial but also so you can see where Ian is coming from. some people may think that he cares nothing for his wife, but that's not true he loves her very much; but like some phenomenons of this world there is only that one person for you so if they die or you die and either of you go on with your life without the other and even if either of you love again they will always love that one person that is the other half of their soul. it was just like Rose and Jack they were soul mates and she didn't meet her husband at the end, no she met and reunited with Jack. so if I as Ian's creator makes him come off insensitive towards Violet it was not my intention but I will not apologize for how Ian feels and this story will not change. so if you have a problem with Ian still being in love with his lost love then that's your opinion but I stand by what I wrote. So deal people.
P.S- The forum link is in the profile if anyone is interested.
P.S #2- The epilogue is up next and if you don't want to see a reunion that has been a long time coming I suggest you don't read it. that's if you made it this far. This chapter was dedicated to my peeps that make it possible to RP Ian and my other OC's so thank you.
