Dear James-
Oh God. The worst thing happened to me today. You may have noticed me being taken out of Transfiguration. Or you may not have. I'm invisible to you these days. I was taken to Dumbledore's office, where he told me that my parents had been murdered by the Death Eaters. You hear about these sorts of things happening to other people, but you never expect it to happen to you. That's why it came as such a big shock. Why would they single my parents out? I asked Professor Dumbledore this and he says it was totally at random. Its just bad luck that my parents were among the muggles the Death Eaters chose to attack. I still can't cry, because it doesn't feel any different. I just can't believe it has happened. Dumbledore says I may return home for the funeral. I'm scared for Tuney, she was really close to my dad and she knows they were murdered by "her sort" as she calls them. She will blame me. I feel so alone James. Rosa, Marlene and Alice are sick of me, they pretend to like me still, and talk to me, but I can see it in their eyes. They are only doing it out if pity. I just brush them away though. Alice tries to be friendly, but I ignore her. I don't want to hurt them, they used to be my best friends, but I don't feel like talking anymore to anyone. If you start leading a false life, putting on an act, then your whole life will be a lie. I would rather live truthfully than be pretending to be happy, when inside I'm screaming. What about you James? Is your life like mine?
I love you. Forever and for always.
