Curiosity killed the cat.
Satisfaction brought it back.

Wouldn't you like to know who's writing to you?

Dear A?,

I shall admit, I am very curious as to who has written me, and as to why you would do so. I hope this letter finds you well, as I don't know who I am sending it to.

I don't recognize your handwriting, do we know each other? If not, I wonder as to why I would be receiving a letter from you.

From,
Miss Acacia Ruskin.

Acacia Ruskin,

I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to reveal my identity to you at this moment. Unlike yourself. Do you always attach your name to anonymous letters from potential strangers? How peculiar you are, although from what I hear that's not the most peculiar thing about you, is it, Miss Ruskin?

Dear A,

I apologize, as I am not used to being sent these types of letters.

... I was hesitant to even comment on my 'peculiarity'. How much do you know about me? Have we been in school together?

From,
Miss Acacia Ruskin R?

Acacia Ruskin,

There is no need to apologize to me, it is not to my detriment to know who you are.

I have heard a great deal about you, especially of late. What are you going to do now that you cannot return to school? I suspect your options must be quite limited, considering.

Dear A,

I will admit, I am saddened that I am not allowed to return, but my main concern are my siblings. I am thankful that I have gotten to take my OWLs before being unable to return. My siblings, however, are all younger than me, and therefor didn't reach that year. My poor brother never even started Hogwarts, which worries me deeply.

With my OWLs completed, I have more options than my siblings, and am determined to find a place that will allow me to work.

May a know your age? Do you know me personally? What am I allowed to ask?

From,
Miss Acacia Ruskin.

Acacia Ruskin,

You may ask whatever you like.

Do you really think that there are people who would want to hire someone like you?

Dear A,

Would I get a reply to any of my questions?

I don't see why not. I am no vampire, and did not choose the dreaded woman who wishes for me to call her mother. I would never bring her to my place of work, and would never do harm to others.

Is that a statement on my character? I assure you that I am very respectful, and do not cause trouble. I now know that you do not know me personally, for if you did, you would never assume otherwise.

From,
Miss Acacia Ruskin.

Acacia Ruskin,

You must take after at least one of your parents; it's either the blood-sucking corpse or the one with judgement poor enough to consider mating with said corpse, repeatedly. Did your father pass on his apparent mental affliction?

Even if you were all you say you are, why would anyone choose you over a human?

   

A.

Dear A,

I will not speak ill of my father, since that is very disrespectful. With that, I'm sure you will realize that what you are doing is highly disrespectful, to both my father and I. Miss Lisa Fairbairn, on the other hand, lost all rights at receiving any such respect when abandoning the responsibilities of being a mother and wife, to do who knows what.

I'm sure a respectable employer would wish for one who was respectful of others, as even some full humans have a lack of said respect. Kindness of others gets many people far in their lives Mr/Mrs/Miss A, and being rude has quite the opposite results.

From,
Miss Acacia Ruskin.

Acacia Ruskin,

It's rather difficult to be "highly disrespectful" to a half vampire and a necrophiliac, that suggests you deserve respect to start with which is quite hilarious!

Anyway, an employer wouldn't value your sense of respect when it ought to be a given considering your low station in life. Being respectful to your betters is an expectation, not a virtue. Kindness never got anyone anywhere except taken advantage of.

I'm sure they'll appreciate your kindness when you're up for a promotion to Senior Chimney Sweep, although I wouldn't want your sort anywhere near my chimneys. Perhaps chimney sweep is a little too ambitious.

Dear A,

I feel sorry for those like you. Those who think it OK to judge and assume things of those who are different then them. I can not imagine such an upbringing that would cause such behavior and attitude. I wonder if, one day, you can see past your one-sided ways. Till then, I still wish you a good life. After all, kindness is a strength, regardless of what you think.

From,
Miss Acacia Ruskin.

Acacia Ruskin,

Forgive me my delay in responding, I had to be hospitalized after excessive laughter brought on by your pathetic letter resulted in a ruptured spleen.

Fortunately ruptured spleens are fixable, unlike your delusional mind and your existence in general. I suppose if you died that would be an adequate fix.
