Letters from the Frontlines

November 1978

Em,

Mum is driving me around the bend, when are you coming up here? I know that the shop is busy right now, but if I have to hear one comment on how weird it is that I don't have a young man like you have Remus I might scream.

Stop pulling that face, I know you aren't dating Remus. It's not my fault mum has been planning your wedding since you were 10.

Men aside, how is Hogsmeade? The papers say there was an attack there the other day. Mum is getting agitated.

Just keep yourself safe, ok? If you're not coming to mum's, I'll probably be home in a few days. Aunt Nora is coming to stay for a while.

Love,

Cass

Em,

How's it going?

I'm sorry we missed New Year. All is well here, me and Prongs should be back to homebase in a few days. I'm sorry I can't say more than that.

Have you heard from Moony recently? Can you let us know? I'm-We're-notsure-worried-

Prongs has asked if you could check in on his plants? If they're not watered enough, they get stressed apparently. Didn't know he had such a greenthumb.

In desperate need of teacakes,

Dear Dumbledore,

I'm not sure if you know me, but I know you. My name is Emilia Withers.

I hope this letter reaches you well, I hope you don't mind but I asked Lily Evans to pass it onto you as I wasn't sure what would be the safest manner in which to reach you. I fear nothing is completely safe these days.

I'm reaching out to you about the Order. I'm hoping, well rather I want to, offer my services in any manner possible. I'm not much of a fighter, but I know there are ways in which I could be doing more.

I hope this is something we could discuss further, perhaps in person?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Emilia

Remus, where are you? Em
