    Dear Dad,

    It has been much too long since I've written to you, and have received any letters from you, which saddens me. I hope everything has been OK at home. How is everything? Is Dunstan excited for summer? I miss you both dearly. Though, I must say, I am still hesitant to see mother again, especially for much longer. I'm sorry to say so, but it must be said.

    Not much has happened lately, except it seems that there are rumors of lice. Such awful creatures. I've had the good fortune of not having any, though I am wondering if either of my sisters have. Would you like me to check on them? If they indeed have the dreadful things, what should I do? I just hope that they do not have the vile insects, and dread to think that Dunstan would get them if so.

    Has anything eventful happened to you recently? I hope to hear from you soon, and hope that you are well.

    Love,
    Acacia.

    Dear Dad,

    It's a troublesome time. I assume you've seen the newest Daily Prophet article, or at least have heard the news. In case you have not, I have sent a copy along with the letter. This is quite troublesome news. I assure you that I took no part in whatever would give the Headmaster such thoughts, though I can not speak for Chrysanta.
    It is quite a shame that Dunstan will not be coming to Hogwarts. Perhaps we can try to send him to another school, though sadly that would make me miss him more.
    Shall I try to find work? Or are we going to chance another school this late into my education. The same question is true for my sisters, except Orinda might have more of a chance at adjusting. For both of them, it might be best to at least try new schools. As I am about to finish my OWLs, some jobs do tend to accept that level of schooling.

    Love,
    Acacia.


    The article is folded neatly in the envelope, behind the letter.
