Scorpius,
I can't believe that I'm here! Estonia is beautiful. At least what I've seen of it is, and that hasn't been very much. I can't technically tell you where I'm at, but it's outdoors and very remote, not to mention cold. I can hardly wait to be home and have a proper bed again. And you of course. It's lonely sleeping by myself, but the other journalist here with me is sweet. Her name is Shauna. Apparently, her fathers helped in the war effort. I think you'd like her.
Anyway, enough about me. How are you? How's work? I know I told Lily that she could stop by if she needed anything, but don't bother turning her away if it's too much. I know that she can be a lot, but you know how breakups go, especially with her.
Uncle Harry just popped in my tent and told me that I'm needed, so I'd better leave you now. Tell everyone I say hello. And don't just eat take out! You know Nana will cook you whatever you want.
All my love,
Rosie

Rose,
Don't worry, Nana Molly has brought over meals practically every other day. I keep telling her that I'll be alright but she won't hear of it. Lily has been fine too. She and Al come 'round every few days as well, probably more for my sake than for Lily's. I think they're expecting me to wither away without you here. It's amusing, but I honestly just might. I miss you, but I'm so happy that you're having such a nice time. Promise that you'll stay safe though, yeah? I trust Harry, but you have an issue with staying away from trouble. I need you back home to me in one piece. I love you more than you know.
Love,
Scorpius

Scor,
You'd hardly believe the things I'm seeing. I'm still not allowed to write about them just in case there's interference with the letters, but you'd be amazed. The healers here are incredible as well. Some of the things they're doing make me appreciate you that much more. Of course, I still think you're the best there is. If only you could've come as well. It's horrendous, really the types of things going on here. It makes me understand why having proper journalists and documentation is so important to Uncle Harry. The world needs to hear about this.
I miss you. So much. It's a little bit pathetic. Shauna keeps telling me so at least. It's strange not being able to tell you about every little thing. I could write pages and pages, but this poor owl is having to travel far enough as it is. Make sure to let him rest before you send him back. And go into Hogsmeade and buy some treats, would you? I can hardly believe I've almost been here a full month. If you promise me that you'll keep taking care of yourself, I promise that I'll stay out of trouble.
I love you,
Rosie

Rose!
I fucking miss you. I'm so glad to hear that you're doing well though and I'm sure you'll tell me all the details of what's going on once you're home. It's so lonely without you here. Al still comes over quite a bit. I keep telling him it's unnecessary but I think he sees right through me. The company is nice though so I think I'll keep him around.
I had dinner with your parents last night. They're doing great, as to be expected. Your mum was telling me about the new legislation she's pushing through. Apparently, it's the last step in branding Wolfsbane as a Ministry provided amenity, as it should be. It's absolute idiocracy that no one has tried to do this before now. No one should have to worry about brewing it. It should be easily accessible and offered for free. She's so excited though and I know that you're just so proud. I am too. The Granger-Weasley women are total bad arses, not that I'm biased or anything. Miss you more than I can properly say.
PS: Don't be too mad, but I got a cat. I know, I know. You're going to tell me I'm a bloody hypocrite, but I needed someone to cuddle! She's not the prettiest (or the nicest for that matter) but I think it just adds character. You'll love her I'm sure.
I love you so much,
Scor

Scorpius,
A CAT? Like, an actual animal? A real cat that's living and breathing and walking in our flat? What I would do to kiss you right now. How many years have I been begging to get one? And it takes me going to another country for you to finally cave? Ugh, I'm so jealous. I would love to cuddle something, ANYTHING, right now (especially you). I asked Shauna but she 'apparently' isn't the cuddling type. I'm not even sure how that's possible.
What's the cat's name? Please don't tell me you've named her something stupid because if you did I swear we're never having kids. You must spoil her rotten, Scorpius. I don't care how much you have to spend. I want the best of everything. Take extra hours at Mungo's if you must. I want this cat to know that she's a fucking princess. I'll write Hugo and tell him to check that she's doing all right. I just worry that you won't take this seriously. Not that I don't trust you, of course, I just want you to stay on top of things. Get her on a feeding schedule. I read somewhere that cats like punctuality. She needs structure!
PS: Please tell me more about this piece of legislation. I love it when you talk about social justice. It's sexy and I miss you.
All my love,
Rose

Rosie,
Me? Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, not taking something seriously? Who do you think I am? I'll have you know that I'm the best kitten father that's ever been. Hugo's already been over tons by the way. I know you said that he loved cats, but I didn't know it was this serious. He went with me to get her shots done and he actually cried. Well, more like sobbed. It was nice though knowing that she'll be well taken care of if anything ever happens to one of us.
Oh, I almost forgot. Her name is Ophelia. I thought you'd approve, and I'm being forced to tell you that it was Lily's idea because she's the best cousin to have ever walked the Earth. So yeah, Ophelia Weasley-Malfoy, or just Weasley if you'd like. I would be fine with anything. She looks more like a feral wolf than she does a cat, but I'm hoping that she'll grow into her looks. It doesn't matter how many times I bathe her, she just keeps getting these matted clumps in her fur. Hopefully, you can help with that. She's so excited to see you, as am I. One month down, two to go!
I miss you,
Scorpius

Rosie,
You're starting to worry me a bit. It's been well over a week since you last wrote. I talked to your dad and he told me that you're probably moving locations or something of that nature, but I can tell that he's worried too. I just want to know that you're okay. I know that's selfish and that you're under a lot of pressure and probably working tons, but just let me know that you're alright.
All my love,
Scorpius

Scorpius,
Hermione wanted me to let you know that there still hasn't been any contact between Harry's team and the Department of MLE. But you know Hermione; not prone to give up, that one. Bloody grateful for it too. I'll let you know the moment she hears anything.
Cheers,
Ron Weasley

Rose,
I'm sure that you're fine and that I'm just making something out of nothing, I just need to know that you're alright. No one's pretending to hide their worry anymore. That's what I've heard at least. I know it's terrible but I haven't been able to bring myself to see any of your family lately. They mean well but they remind me too much of you and then I start to worry and it's just downhill from there. I did get drinks with Al the other night which was nice. I could tell that he wanted to mention you but thought better of it. It's just been so long since we've heard from you, or anybody from the raid for that matter. Please be okay. I need you to be okay.
I love you,
Scorpius

Scorpius,
How about you come and stay with me for a bit? I hate to break it to you, mate, but you looked like shite the other night. Besides, Rose would be after my head if I didn't make sure you were alright. My nana as well. Just bring a toothbrush or something. I'll take the couch.
PS: Do not bring that fucking cat to my home.
PPS: Never tell anyone I offered, yeah? I don't need James calling me a soppy git.
Sincerely,
Albus

Rose,
I'm staying with Albus for now. I just wanted you to know in case you showed up at home for some reason. Not knowing where you are or if you're alright is killing me. I'm so scared, Rosie. I've never been this scared before. I love you so much. So much more than I could ever begin to tell you. Come home to me.
All my love,
Scorpius

Scorpius,
I know that you are worried about Rose, but you must come to the Burrow this week for lunch! We all miss her terribly, but we miss you too. We're your family now, dear, and it's in trying times that you need your family the most.
Best Wishes,
Molly Weasely

Rose,
Please let me know that you're alright. I've never seen your mum like this or even your Aunt Ginny for that matter. She said that in all of her years awaiting Harry's return from a raid, he's never gone this long without writing her. I'm fucking scared, Rosie. No one knows anything. My father has even taken to writing the Estonian muggle law enforcement to try and get information. I just want you to be okay. Please be okay.
Love,
Scorpius

Scorpius!
I don't mean to worry you, but I think something might be wrong with Ophelia. Every night I brush out her fur, but it keeps getting tangled! I visited Lily and she thinks the cat is just ugly, disagree. There's beauty in everything! Don't fret dear brother-in-law, I WILL get to the bottom of this! I'm purchasing the best products the world has to offer, and if that doesn't work, I'll be visiting Romania. I know that Uncle Charlie only works with dragons, but that's the closest thing to an animal doctor I can think of. Not need to reimburse for my troubles either; all part of an uncle's love!
Cheers,
Hugo

Rose,
The only thing that's keeping me from coming straight to Estonia has been your father, but I think even he might join me if we don't get answers soon. I just don't know how to fucking do this. I don't even care if you write me back! I just want you to be okay. I want you to come home and meet this fucking cat because I know that you're going to adore her. She's fine by the way, just in case you were wondering. I want to hear you laugh. I want to hold you. I even want to argue with you, for you to scream and yell at me, and then I want us to talk it out and go to sleep in our bed. I want you, Rose.

Please be okay. I need you.
