Dear Mel,
Not yet, but healers have said that the babe could come at any day now. She seems more ill this time around. It makes me wish I could be there for her. Mother writes often regarding that. I think she's trying to keep focus off of what happened.

If he's a nasty man, may I at least sneak away to visit you when I can? Though, perhaps he'd be kind. Perhaps father will take how you felt in consideration for any future matches.

Miss Whitledge is a very determined girl, from what I've heard. I think she secretly lives in the library. Which I don't really judge. Must be better than the cold common room that I've heard the Slytherins must live in.

I understand, but I do miss you very much. Tell Mr. Crouch that I say hello, and he best treat you right. You deserve happiness, Mel. I know others might say otherwise, but don't listen to them.

With Love Care,
Miss Dorothy Finch
