Severus,
Thank you for the gift you left for me, I received it last night. I don't think there could have been anything more perfect in that box than that item. It almost makes me think you level of mind reading is on par with Dumbledore's and if that is the case then I must ask you to stop reading my mind effective immediately.
Maybe we can try to attempt the impossible and set up an arrangement to meet?
Am I allowed to come with you to the Death Eater meetings? Or is that more of an invite only thing?
Maybe that's not the best place to spend time together, everyone wearing masks and such, it would be hard to tell you apart.
All jokes aside my darling, I miss you so much. I'm sure we will be sent out again soon and for an unknown amount of time, so I hope I get to see you sooner rather than later.

Captain,
I regret to inform you that the 'gift' was a selfish gesture. I was hoping to receive it back once it smells like Osmanthus with a hint of Oakmoss, quite like the way you smell. I can see how you could have misinterpreted such an act, but I still must kindly ask you to return it.
As for the claim of my mind reading, you must think I have some sort of death wish to even consider the thought of trying to enter your mind. I am not that bold of a man.
As for the impossible task of trying to set up a meeting between us, I will work on that for you. For now, if you wish to continue to send letters, we should use nicknames just in case. Unfortunately, we should also burn these letters to not leave any evidence as much as it pains me to do so.
I'm sure you would enjoy yourself more at a Death Eater meeting then being at Hogwarts this year. The Ministry decided to hire own of their own as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. It has already been nothing but a constant headache from her. Thankfully the job is jinxed, and she won't be back next year.
My life is miserable without you. I hope the day comes soon for when I get to see your beautiful face again.
Sending all my love until then,
- S.S

Sir,
You like to play dangerously if you allowed me the honors of choosing your nickname. I was thinking carefully about it and thought since you are so fond of your cloak, perhaps that should be your nickname.
You are extremely lucky that your precious cloak no longer smells like you, and I was hoping we could negotiate some sort of agreement with said cloak.
Any word on a meeting? I am growing more and more restless every minute I am apart from you. It is a constant struggle to not just go to the school to find you. What I would give for just another kiss from you.
Until we see each other again,
- xx
P.S. Yeah, I did give you the option to give me a nickname (Captain is not a nickname) instead of choosing my own cooler one. I hope you remember this act of kindness in the future.

Butterfly,
My deepest apologies for thinking Captain could possibly be used as a nickname. I hope the one I chose for you is now more to your liking. I also must thank you for the return of my cloak, and see that my devious plan has indeed been a success.
Speaking of the cloak, I regret to inform you, but under these current circumstances I will not be taking any sort of considerations for an agreement. Perhaps you can try again when it no longer smells like you.
As for our meeting. Unfortunately, with the Ministry presence it is proving to be more difficult than originally thought to set up anything up, but I promise you I am working on it.
I miss you like the moon would miss the stars. My memories of you will keep me sane until I get to see you again.
With the fondest regards,
- Cloak

Cloak,
I am dumbfounded that you didn't choose Dagger as the nickname. It was right there! A low hanging fruit, an obvious choice, but you decided to choose a much sweeter path which is also fine I suppose.
Now to discuss what I am really writing to you for. Relinquish the cloak and no one will get hurt. I wish it didn't have to come to this, but you left me no choice. Surrender it now or you will feel true fury.
Now that I've got that out of the way, I should also let you know that we're going to be gone for a while. It crushes me not knowing when I'll be able to see you again. Every day I hope it will finally be the day that I get to see you.
With anticipation,
- Butterfly xx

Sweetest Butterfly,
As I'm sure you will see attached to this letter is the cloak, safely returned to you. No need for violent actions, we can resolve this peacefully.
Things are taking a turn for the worst here. If you've seen the papers, you will find a certain professor at Hogwarts having more authority around the school. Classrooms are being evaluated and professors being let go if they don't meet certain standards set by the Ministry.
Thoughts of seeing you again is the only thing that gives me meaning to my days. I wish I could give you some sort of light at the end of the tunnel for a time and a place to meet, but it's still too risky on my end and unpredictable on yours. Just know I would give anything to see you again.
Forever yours,
- Cloak
October 25th
My Dearest Cloak,
I am satisfied upon inspection of my cloak and will not pursue my threat any longer now that you have RIGHTFULLY returned to me. Play more games with and I will show you an unstoppable force. Consider this a warning.
I am sorry to hear of your troubles with a certain dictator stomping around the school, unknowingly oblivious to the fact that the Greeks created democracy. How foolish do you think they will feel when they find out?
I dream of a day that this will be a distant memory and I get to be with you every morning and every night. My soul is restless without you and my body is craving your touch.
With the deepest love,
- The Lonesome Butterfly xx

My Love,
The days are darker without your presence, and the air colder without your touch. Every second I am apart from you is pure agony and torment, but I still have this hope crossing your path again soon. I promise I will make up for every moment we spent apart from each other, but I cannot however promise I will be able to let you go again. Every night I look at the moon and it reminds me of the way your eyes would sparkle in its light. I wish I could list all the things I miss about you, but I'm afraid there isn't enough paper and ink in the world to cover everything.
With the deepest desire,
- Cloak

Cloak,
I don't have much time before I must head out again. We need to find someone, and it isn't going to be easy. Please take good care of my cloak as it means the world to me.
I love you.

"Captain, you ready?" Ripley asks Paige as she attaches a letter to a black rectangular box.
"Yeah." Paige whispers quietly.
Sirius places his hand on her shoulder.
"I'll make sure he gets it." He assures her.
Paige looks at the box for a few more seconds before turning away from it. She grabs her bag from the floor and throws it over her shoulder and exits the room with Ripley.
