I always did like dogs!

1st September, 1887

My darling Topaz,

Staring at your empty bed breaks my heart, so I have abandoned the dormitory for the common room instead. Yours is not the only face missing from Ravenclaw tower this year, but is the one I miss most. Who else shall I spend my nights gossiping with? Who else shall I come to in a panic when I realize I’ve not finished an essay? How am I supposed to survive this year, and the three after it, without you as my companion?

Oh Topaz, I hate so much to be selfish, especially when keenly aware of what you must be undergoing as I write this. I hope that my words bring you some comfort tomorrow when you read them, and that this chocolate frog will help to ease the heartache.

With all my love and friendship,

Holliday
