Slainte!
Uncle Harry and family.
Sorry if this comes late at night. Every time Mother sees me writing, she snatches it away and tears it up. She doesn't know father broke the lock on my owls cage. I know I can entrust my faithful Blodeuwedd to get my letters to you. She has never let me down and has been a great ally in this time of turmoil. I am greatly relieved to know you are there and all of you are pulling for me. Though I am stuck here with icy and awkward silences, your words warm my heart and I feel more positive that I will get back into Hogwarts.
I must go now, or mother will see my light and take this paper as well.
Thank you
Del.
