Merida sat in her office at the hospital, her mind racing with thoughts of how to compose a letter to Mister Dempsey. Anxious anticipation gripped her as she contemplated the delicate balance of her words. She didn't want it to appear as though she was contriving excuses to reach out to him, but the weight of their previous interactions lingered in her thoughts. She knew that her intentions were genuine, yet the fear of misinterpretation gnawed at her. Merida wrestled with the possibilities, considering every angle and potential impression her letter might create. Perhaps she should hand the case to someone else- but that wouldn't be fair to Mister Wright. No she would just need to get over herself.

Mister Dempsey,

May 29th 1893

I hope this letter finds you well and I hope you don't mind my directness in writing to you about a rather serious matter.

Recently, a patient arrived at the Hogsmeade Hospital. Their name is Jules Wright, a cursebreaker and I believe one of your colleagues. It seems they have suffered a significant injury that has resulted in memory loss. The circumstances surrounding their condition are shrouded in mystery, and the healers here are doing their best to assist in their recovery.

One of the few more recent memories that he has retained seems to reference you. Given your shared background, I thought you might have insights or information that could aid us in Mister Wrights treatment.

I understand that this request might seem unexpected. However, if you have any information that could shed light on the situation, I would greatly appreciate your input.

With Kind Regards,

Healer Merida Greyback

Endymion Dempsey

Healer Greyback,

I know Jules Wright – I saw him just the other day in London, in fact. He spends most of his time in Egypt usually, but was back at Gringotts for a spell. He was working on a thing or two at the bank, a couple of objects, and was probably set to head back to Egypt afterwards. I’m sorry to hear about his state! Let me know what I can do to help – I can look into his recent movements at work, see just what he was working on – and if my visiting him would be useful, I’ll come right away.

And (it doesn’t have much place in this letter, but) I’m always glad to hear from you, in spite of the circumstances.

E. Dempsey

Mister Dempsey,

Thank you sir for your prompt reply, I do believe it would do him good to speak to someone who might be able to offer him some information on his life. He has found himself most distressed and is very much at sea, the poor man, and could use a friend. Any information you might have will help me try to remedy his situation and allow me to treat him more effectively.

And for myself - I hope when we next speak it might be on a much more pleasant topic. I admit that I had not realised your job was so dangerous - almost as dangerous as early mornings walks on the Blackwood estate.

Miss Greyback,
