Dear Daffy
You're mother and I are very happy for you. The house is rather quiet without you, and we miss you. At the same time I know you're where you need to be, and we are very proud of you. As ever you got to the heart of the matter. I know Harry told you we never got along as kids and the reason he wont tell you is to spare me. He's a good guy like that which I never actually noticed until it was much too late for both of us.
Harry came to live with us when he was a year old. His parents were killed on... I don't know the date but Mum said it was in November. Mum and Aunt Lily didn't get along. Mum didn't like magic and niether did dad. So when Harry came to live with us they wanted to punish him for being a wizard. He got beat and kicked and treated downright bad. They even kept him in a closet for years and years.
I tried once to get him out of it. Dad locked him in and refused to give him anything to eat. I tried to sneak some buiscuts in to him I got as far as the hall, but dad caught me trying to help Harry. It was the only time Dad ever hit me. He told me Harry was a bad boy and that I would be bad too if I didn't help them fix Harry.
You're right Daffy, it's wrong to be pulled in your parents fights. That's what happened to me and Harry. Don't hate me for that please, Daff, Ive been trying to make it up to him since the letter incident and I know Harrys trying to forgive me.
Dont you be worried though. Harry and his family know you have nothing to do with what trans-trans... happened between us.
Love
Dad
