Letters and Suspicions

It felt like there was a ton of weights on Albus's chest as he struggled to wake up. He felt almost disconnected from hands as he moved them. "Ginny! I think he's waking up... I'll go get the healer." He felt like he had been asleep for a while, but gotten no rest. When he was finally able to open his eyes he shut them instantly to hide the bright lights. "Turn the lights off!" Albus choked.

"Ok honey they're off." His mother replied taking his hand.

"What happened?" He couldn't remember anything.

His mum carded her fingers through his hair trying to calm him. "You were poisoned. You've been unconscious for a week and a half." She was trying to keep calm until the healers came in.

Once the healers had checked him over and given him a dreamless draft with a drop draught of peace he was cleared of the poison. Harry, Ginny, Molly, Arthur, Ron, and Hermione spent most of their time taking shifts at the hospital until Albus was discharged. Ginny owled the kids and told them the good news and that Albus was likely to be released during the winter break.

"What do you remember about that day?" His dad asked.

It was hard for him to remember every detail. "It was normal, I took my potion, ate breakfast with Scorpius, and went to class. There was nothing out of the ordinary I swear. Whoever poisoned me must have slipped it in the potion during the night." he suspected.

His dad wrapped his arm around his mum's shoulders. "You've got owls." His grandfather said entering the room. "I believe they are from you're numerous family members. There are some for you too Harry."

Al laughed before unrolling the roll of parchment.

Al,

I am so glad you are feeling better. You had Scorpius and I so worried. Your brother refused to let him write on this parchment by the way so you may be receiving a separate one from Scorpius. Well I better make this brief, I'm finishing up my two parchment essay on transfiguration from a pocket watch to a pineapple. See you in during Christmas break!

Love,

Rose

P.S. Write me back on a separate piece of parchment.

Albus,

Glad you're alive and awake. For a while there we thought you were going to be a permanent mummy.

Fred and Hugo

P.S. Are you currently dating Georgia Goyle? Please tell us it isn't true!

Al,

I can't believe you're awake! Took you long enough. I've thought of so many pranks I had to start pulling them on Lily (which is no fun because she rats me out to Teddy). Any idea who poisoned you by the way? Dad said something about Edgar Halzer the old potions professor being a death eater. I don't know if he told you, but shortly after you were poisoned he fell off the face of the planet. Weird huh? Oh and we beat Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, bad news is now we have to beat the Slytherin's. May the best house win! Which would be Gryffindor in case you still have brain issues.

James

P.S. Georgia Goyle? If I find out this is true you are dead! When you were mute it was cute to be an idiot, but now it's just pathetic.

Alby,

I wish you were here right now I have this horrible assignment for potions. I suck at potions which you already know. James has been pulling pranks on me non-stop. I wrote to Teddy, but I think he's in on them. Also I think there is something going on between Scorpius and Rose. I know they are friends, but they've been sneaking off a lot. Do you know anything about this? (because if you don't I will find out anyway.)

Love,

Lily

P.S. Did you create an untraceable poison third year? Rose let it slip.

Albus,

Don't let your brother scare you. Your father and I are still looking for Edgar Halzer, but there is no proof it is him. Just focus on getting better so James and I can prank you all Christmas break. Rumors have also reached my ears of Georgia Goyle and you. I'm glad you're feeling better and will see you as soon as I get some time off. Make sure you're parents are taking care of themselves.

Teddy R. Lupin

After he was finished writing everyone back on the back side of the parchment he unrolled Scorpius's owl.

Albus,

I am so bloody thrilled that you're finally awake. I am trying to convince my dad to let me come visit you. I know you're sick, but have you asked your parents about Christmas yet? My Grandfather has been bugging me all week. Just a warning Georgia kind of had a melt down when she found out about you're condition. I tried to tell her you'd be ok, but she got so upset. She's been really worried and also getting a lot of grief from your family.

Scorpius Malfoy

P.S. Rose thinks you poisoned yourself with that poison you created third year.

Albus,

When Scorpius told me you were awake I couldn't help, but write. I am so sorry our relationship leaked. I don't think people know for sure though. Bandit and I have been so worried about you. Scorpius and I found him in the dungeons last week. I figured you wouldn't mind. Miss you like crazy, please come over to Score's for Christmas!

With all my heart,

Georgia Goyle

"Rose thinks that it was Albus is the student being possessed? How would a kid his age even get his hands on a poison that untraceable?" Teddy asked his godfather and Uncle.

"In the owl Rose said that in his third year Al created an untraceable poison. The only people who knew were him, Georgia, Scorpius, and Professor Slughorn. Rose only recently found out when Scorpius let it slip." Harry couldn't believe how good this theory sounded.

"Damn I knew the kid was good at potions, but not that good. Slughorn does have a whole lot of death eater contacts. You don't think he slipped it to them do you?" Ron asked still shocked.

"It's not like the man knows how to hold his firewhiskey." Teddy reminded them.

Ron and Harry exchanged knowing glances. "Harry have you ever considered that Albus wasn't possessed?" Teddy hated asking, but needed to know.

"You think he would do this to himself?" Harry raised his voice.

Teddy held up his hands to show him that he meant no offense. "I know it's hard to believe, but Al has had it rough. He is just very secretive Harry. I mean after everything he went through when he was younger than in third year. James said he pretty much ignores everyone, but Rose. Fred heard some rumor that he's dating Goyle's daughter. Please tell me your at least considering this possibility?" He knew it would be hard for him to admit.

"Ginny and I have always worried more about Al. I haven't mentioned it to Ginny because I know she'll deny it." Harry couldn't believe that his son would try and kill himself, but Teddy was right.

"Ok so we'll work both theories. Teddy and I can question Slughorn about the poison Al created and you can work on Al. Whichever looks more promising we act on." Ron announced.

"Either way it's going to come back to Al. If he is being possessed or cursed it's only a matter of time before it happens again. If he isn't I doubt he's going to come out and tell us." Harry knew this wasn't going to be as easy as Ron was making it. "Al and Rose are close. I say we investigate Slughorn, but ask the kids for help."

"Harry, we can't ask James, Rose, and Lily to work the suicide angle?" Teddy didn't want them to be put in that situation.

Arthur and Molly recognized the three gentlemen conversing and redirected their path. "We don't have a choice. You said it yourself Teddy, he's secretive. Al confides in Scorpius. He told Rose about the poison and that's enough for me."
