WHAT!!

[Ari Scrimgeour]

The letter has smushes anad blotches from tears on it

Bella!

What have you done! You have gone! Father and mother are so angry, I have never seen father rage so terribly. I do not think that you can come back from this! Please tell me you have some plan?

Do not write back to me, instead write to me at the library, the Librarian has said she will keep letters for me htere and we shall use it as a dead letter spot

All my love and in fervent hope

Ari

Araminta,

Please do not worry about me. I am with Clara and safe from harm's way. I'm terribly sorry I had to leave without saying goodbye to you or Julius; any chance of father finding out was not a chance worth taking. I had to escape — it was my only chance for happiness.

With love,

— Bella —

I understand, just please know that if father ever sees you again he will kill you! I fear that the balance of his mind is gone utterly! that he is truely mad and not even the fear of azhkaban would stop him form killing you in broad daylight.

It has been unpleasant here since your departure, even more so than usual. Papa has had many visitors to his study and I worry for what he is planning. Bella, he may look for a way to snatch you back, or just have you killed in the street. I would not put i past him.

Araminta,

I likely fear father far less than I should at the moment. I will keep a sharp eye on my surroundings at all times; I have no plans to die today, tomorrow, or any other day in the near future. Please do let me know if you hear of anything that may affect me or my life.
