My Dearest Sophia,

I hope this letter finds you well, though I fear it carries more questions than reassurances. It has been months since I last heard from you, and I have been beside myself with worry. Imagine my surprise—and bewilderment—when I heard whispers that you have recently married a man called Lissington, a Hogwarts professor. I cannot simply ignore the longing for clarity and understanding. Firstly, let me say that I have missed you terribly. Our time together, brief as it was, left an indelible mark. Your absence has been keenly felt.

The news of your marriage came as a shock. I had no inkling that you were even considering such a step, especially not with someone like Lissington. I am not writing to judge or to question your choices, but rather to understand. What has happened, Sophia? Why did you vanish without a word?

If there were circumstances that forced your hand, know that you can confide in me. I offer no judgment, only a listening ear and a loyal heart. If this marriage is something you entered into willingly and with joy, then I am happy for you—truly. But if there is more to the story, if there is something you need help with, please tell me. You are not alone.

Please, if you can, write back and let me know how you are. Whether you need a friend, a confidante, or merely someone to share your thoughts with, I am here.

With all my love and concern,
Rose
