A/N:
I have written this fic for the QL competition.
Name: Milo
Team: Cannons
Position: keeper
Prompt: The Rains of Castmere
I put my fic as a letter style, to show Bella's growing power.
WC: 1321
Dear Bella,
I do hope this letter finds you as well as it can be.
As you know, I will not be coming home for Christmas, as Ted's family has invited me on a holiday to Ireland.
I wish you could come, but your distaste of muggleborns is too harsh to even consider it. I hope you all enjoy the usual meetings and whatnot; I know you thoroughly enjoy them, from what I recall.
I know the family doesn't agree with my relationship with Ted, but I am sure you can make up another twisted lie to our parents to hide my whereabouts.
I hope Narcissa enjoys the new dress I sent for her, and I hope you enjoy the snake ring.
Love,
Meda
Dear Meda,
Cissy says thank you for the shimmering dress. I suppose I should be grateful you still care to send me a gift as well, but I am not sending one in return.
I agree with Mother and Father, you are a disgrace to the household, and I, of course, told them of your proper whereabouts.
Why do you think so little of me, when you're the little worm that deserves to be stepped on?
If you wanted to tell them a lie, preach to them yourself; you are not a child. For Merlin's sake, you are dating nothing that is pure—not even his hair is the same color—I don't know what you see in him.
Reg and I have started a group of witches, hoping to bring purity to the world. You're not invited, it's just a friendly warning to keep your critters out of our path to power.
You expect me to respect you and your disgusting bugs, you'd have better luck in a pig pen.
Bella
Bella,
Your wedding gift of a severed finger was not taken to heart, I am sure you are well aware of that. It has been a while since you have spoken to me, so I thought I should check up on you, not that you care about me, of course.
I thought you should know, Edward and I are expecting a child soon, and we wanted to know if you'd like to meet her when she arrives. That's if you don't plan on hurting us more than you already have.
Send Cissy my love, will you?
Meda
Meda,
You call yourself Meda?
You don't even respect your proper name any more, not even keeping the family name?
You wish me to see your child, I'd rather kill it and eat it for breakfast.
Give Cissy your own damned love! She's married the Malfoy kid, but thank goodness, because he's joined us Death Eaters and will help us come to power.
I heard one of your worms was killed last week, it got in the papers, thank my Death Eaters later, they weren't pure.
Bella
Bella,
I'm scared for your safety, your ideas, your mental health and wellbeing.
How can you just go around killing people like this?
Don't you care about other people's lives any more?
Not that you care, but my daughter, Dora, is a metamorphmagus. I have no idea where it came from.
Do you know if any one else in the family has this?
My husband and I have moved locations; the owl will know where we are, but I am not telling you for our own safety.
I wish you weren't following the rest of the family, I wish you were different.
I hope Cissy will one day come to terms that you are a bad person, and that she does not have to follow you around like a lost dog.
Meda
Sister, or betrayer, whatever you'd like to be called,
Did you hear, the Potter family is finally dead?
No more bullies, no more friendship, nothing to stop the dark Lord from rising once and for all. Peter helped kill them—he was supposed to protect them but did what he was told, for once.
Unfortunately, the child survived; I don't understand how, of course, but he does.
I wish he had died with the rest of them, such a shame. They weren't pure either. Lily wasn't anyway. I hear the kid is going to live with Muggles, like his kind should. Apparently Albus thinks that'll teach him, like it should.
I hope you'll be next, you are so, so filthy.
I hope your ugly daughty blows your house up and gets you into proper trouble with the Ministry. Your letters are a sore reminder that I have a traitor of a sister.
Bella
Bella,
How dare you speak so cruelly of the Potters, they were nice to you once.
They never bothered you at all, and Lily even helped you achieve better things in school.
I hate your disrespect, no child deserves to be an orphan, not even the Dark Lord who struggles to come back. I am sickened to know you can be so cruel to a child, who doesn't even understand what has happened to his family.
You call me the traitor, but in fact, you are the one who betrayed me, all those years ago. My daughter deserves a better family than all of you, and I will not subject her to your disgraces.
Meda
Little worm,
You still think, after all these years, that I, of all people, would take pity on such a lowly person as you?
Try whimpering to Sirius, if you can find him of course. I hear there is still a gathering of witches, who want to fight against us Death Eaters, have fun trying.
Cissy and Lucey have had a child, Draco, maybe he'll kill Potter or your germ later on.
Bella
Bella
It has been 14 years since I've last heard from you, it worries me. Cedric, Amos' son, has been killed by the Dark Lord, my daughter informs me. I hear Sirius is in hiding from you lot still, but Harry has begun to grow on his own. I found Remus at Hogwarts and warned him to protect the students, especially with all the dementors that swarmed.
Unfortunately, thanks to circumstances, he does not work there any more.
Please Bella, be careful, give up following your obsessions and relax.
Meda
Worm,
You think I'd give up now, once the Dark Lord is risen?
You underestimate my power, I was the one who helped him rise.
I killed your beloved cousin, he stood in my way so I took the chance, I hope you enjoyed the outrage it has caused.
Bella,
Bella,
You will see, once and for all, that being power hungry is only going to kill you. They are coming to get you.
Harry arrived on my doorstep and was horrified, thinking I was you. Luckily, we got to him before you did, so stay away.
Give up now, or they will kill you.
Meda
Worm,
My power is more than you can even imagine, I will always be stronger than my master, no matter how hard he will try, he is dying again. Nagini overtook Snape, I'll have you know, so Harry has no one now, he won't have anyone soon.
Bella
Meda,
I will have you know that our sister, along with your daughter and son-in-law, are dead. I heard about your poor husband and I am sorry my ignorance got so caught up in Bella's mishaps. I am glad she is dead, her ideas and ambitions were insane, I don't feel guilt at all, and you should not either.
My husband proposes that you and your grandson visit, you are safe here now, there is no harm.
Much love
Cissy
Dear Cissy,
Thank you for reaching out and letting us stay, the baby is well and spriteful.
Your son is growing up nicely, and I am glad he has changed much too. I am seeing the Potter's next week, as they are getting married.
Well wishes,
Meda
