Winter Frosts- I agree that no matter what happens, Sophie will stick with Draco. They're good for each other because she can see that he deserves redemption, and he can see the same in her.

A/N Sorry to suddenly mix things up, but here's a bit of a different perspective

Dear Sophie,

It's now been about two months since the last time we saw you. And while I wanted to write to you sooner, your father thought it wouldn't be a good idea. He said that you needed some time to settle in.

I don't know whether you've heard or not, but Jessie is on the path to making a full recovery. She's already back up on her feet, moving around like there's no tomorrow. Though her parents have decided that they're all going to move away. They don't want to stick around in this neighborhood anymore, and I can't blame them for that. Not that I do blame you for that of course!

Anyways, we didn't sit down to write you a letter just to catch up with you and see how you are. It's about something very important. Your father and I have discussed it a lot in these past few months.

Of course you've known since you were just a child that you are adopted. Even if we hadn't shared that information, I'm sure that you would've been smart enough to figure out eventually, considering the complete lack of any family resemblance between us.

It had been a closed adoption. We never even met your birth father, and we only met your birth mother twice. Once when we first signed all of the paperwork, and then we went to the hospital to pick you up. We were left with no contact information or anything like that.

But considering everything that's happened, your father and I both agree that it's time for us to begin tracking down your birth parents. Perhaps they are like you. Maybe they can help. I'm not really sure what exactly it is that we expect them to do for you, but we just think that it'll be good for you to meet them.

And since there's no way to get in touch, I've enclosed a copy of your birth mother's picture. I have the feeling that she would've demanded to get it back if she'd known that we had it, but what's done is done. She looks a lot like you. I don't know whether she's in America or Scotland, but if she's in either country, then either you or your father and I will find her, I'm sure.

I am sorry about everything that happened. Did you know that your birth mother knew you were going to be different? The day you were born, when we went to take you home, your birth mother said that you were special. She said that you were destined for great thing. I'd always assumed that she was still high on pain medication at the time.

But now I'm starting to think that she knew from the start that you were going to be a witch. God, it feels so bizarre to write that and to actually mean it in all seriousness. If I hadn't seen so much with my own eyes, I'd still never believe that magic could possibly be real. It's just too strange of a thought.

And now we get to the part of this letter I was dreading. As horrible as it sounds, I'm glad that your new school has no phones, because I'm not sure I'd be able to get through this conversation with you right there.

I know it may not have seemed like it lately, but Sophie, darling, we really do love you still. We were just scared. And I know that that's so unfair, because you were just scared too. You had no idea what was going on anymore than we did. And yet we completely abandoned you, letting complete strangers take you away to across the ocean.

I'm not even sure how exactly we're going to get this letter to you. I don't know the address of your school, and I'm not sure the postal service will believe me if I write 'the magical castle in Scotland' on it.

I hope that maybe you fit in at your new school. I know that it was always a problem for you here, even before you discovered your magic. We just want you to be happy, Sophie. No matter where you came from or where you end up going, you're always going to be our little girl and we're always going to love you with all our hearts.

And if you get this letter and tear it up and decide that you never want to hear from us ever again, then we'll understand that. We were horrible parents. We shoved you into the arms of the first capable person who came along, rather than trying to help you ourselves.

I know that we always used to joke about how we couldn't wait to get you out of the house because you've always been such a force of nature, but that was all said entirely in jest. You should know that without you around, this house just feels so empty, and far too quiet. We may have gotten tired of chasing you around all the time, since we are getting older, but now that we can just sit down and relax, we feel completely restless. It's entirely up to you, but I'd really like it if we could sit down and talk at some point, to try and figure things out. We miss you so much, Sophie. So if you need anything, anything at all, you just let us know, and we'll do everything in our power to get it to you.

Please stay safe, and never forget how much we love our beautiful daughter.

Love,

Mom and Dad

P.S. I almost forgot- while I have no doubt that it's made up, the name that your mother used during the whole adoption process was Myrella Wren. I don't know if that'll help at all, but it's all I can really give you at the moment.

P.P.S I may not have written anything else, but I love you too. -Dad
