My Darling Millie,
Oh Millie, I know it's hard. And whatever road you go down will not be an easy one. You will always be a Ravenclaw, just like I will always be. To think we are connected by more than just blood. And you will always be connected to those in your house, too. I know you're hurting now, but that will not always be the case. Eventually this will just be a memory. It may be one you dissect later on, and it may always be painful, but it will hurt less than what you're feeling now. I think you just need to keep your chin up. They cannot be mad forever, and if they are than they were not true friends to begin with. Hogwarts has so many wonderful people and any one of them would be lucky to call you a friend.
Oh Millie. You are strong and you are good with your words. You have read so many books, that surely you could take some inspiration from there? Or, better yet, write them a letter to tell them how you feel. Give yourself time to think, digest, just like they probably need time too. I don't think you've done anything wrong. How could you have known, when speaking to Miss Parkison, what she would say? You couldn't have, unless you're secretly a seer. All you need is time, Mills. Time to let things heal. You can smile, sit next to them in silence, show them that you are there and still want to be friends.
You will one day Mills. I am so proud of you, and the person you're becoming. You are your own worst critic, but there is nothing you can do or say to make me think otherwise. Do me a favor tonight? Before you go to bed, take a look in the mirror. Squint if you have to, lean in close, making funny faces, but I want you to try to see the girl I do. Because she's beautiful and funny and wonderful. She's loyal to boot. When you see her, you'll see what all the other Ravenclaws do too. They'll surely forgive you.
All My Love,
Zinnia
