Dear Ethan, School is going well. I am still being bullied by that one boy, but I have hope he will soon stop. I've been writing with my father and I asked him of my mother. He said that she did not want me. Is that true? I never know whether to believe him or not. Do you know my mother? It isn't true that she didn't want me, is it? To have both parents not want you would be an awful thing. I am afraid that it is the truth. That Draven King is not lying to me and I am simply a mistake that was never meant to be. I still care for him. I love him. Because he's my father. Is that wrong? Why cannot he not love me? Please respond soon, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
I am sorry to hear that you are being bullied. You do not have to endure this, Elsa. Please inform a prefect about it and I am sure you will not be bullied further.
It must have been a hard discovery for you, but in all this, never forget that there are others who love you. Of course nothing can replace the love of a mother or a father, but that does not mean you have to live your life feeling unloved and unwanted. You live under my roof and I care very much for you, Elsa. Your parents, that is something you need to come to terms with on your own. Your older siblings might be able to help you through this rough time, but I am sure in the end you will be stronger than before.
Never lose hope,
Ethan

Dear Ethan,
It isn't bad enough to tell the Prefects. I feel sorry for the boy, not angry with him. I'm also curious as to why he chose me as his target. As a Gryffindor, I should fight back, shouldn't I? But I don't. I'm not very much of a Gryffindor or anything, really. Draven King says I'm an urchin, but I'm not. I don't live on the streets. He also says I'm an orphan. But even if I live in an orphanage, I can't be an orphan if my parents still live, can I?
What discovery? Are you saying it's true? My mother did not want me at all? Not even after I was born and she first held me? That isn't a discovery. That's awful. No one should have a child they don't want or love. Children like me shouldn't exist. I may live with you and the orphans, but we're not family. We aren't blood related. I'm not really a 'Blake'. But I'm not a 'King' either. Draven King didn't give me his surname. Doesn't that make me just Elsa? Or Elsa Lovie? And I don't understand what you mean by older siblings. I don't have siblings, that I know of. You are very optimistic, just like Mr. Blake was. But he died. In the end, we all die.
Sincerely,
Elsa

Dear Elsa,
No matter how you feel about your bully, there is no reason for you to go through this. If you feel bullied a prefect should take you seriously. And about being a Gryffindor, I have been in Gryffindor too, would you believe it? Do I seem like much of a Gryffindor to you? You don't have to prove to anyone that you belong into the house you were sorted in. Being your own person is always best. And who knows, maybe one day you will shine with your bravery.
Do not let yourself be told you are any less than one of my children. 'Orphan' is just a term, it does not describe how you feel or how much you are worth. Do not take those words to heart.
I do not know your mother, Elsa. And of course one should love ones child, but the world is not always just. But that does not mean that you should not exist. Would you take the light out of another's life just because the parents did not see this light and love?
To me all of you are family. My father was as much your father, as was my mother. One does not have to be related by blood to be a family for a family connected by love can be so much stronger than one connected by blood. So the older children are your siblings in my eyes and I am sure they will be happy to take care of you in these times for they have been through the same as you.
Elsa, you are too young to worry about death. Of course we all die, but does that mean we cannot live? If you only think about the end you forget to live and I would not want to see you unhappy like that. Treasure that you have been given life, even though those who did put you in my care. There is so much for you to see and to experience in this life, Elsa. Do not lose hope for life can give so much happiness if you allow it.
Love,
Ethan

Dear Ethan,
You write many words in one letter. I'm not used to having to read so much. When the mail arrived, another girl almost snatched it out of my hands to read. That would have been horrid. Can you imagine? No matter what you say, I'm not going to complain about him. It doesn't bother me anymore. But you are like a Gryffindor. When Mr. Blake died, you took over the orphanage like everything was still the same. And you're courting Sasha. Don't be surprised that I know. Most of the older children do. You have to be very brave to do that. She's an intimidating person, but funny. I'd like to have her confidence. Wouldn't you?
I don't believe it when anyone tells me I'm less than them, but can you not call me your child? You aren't my father, though you're similar in age with him. It feels strange to have you refer to me as one of your children. I don't like being lumped with all the others at the orphanage. We're not all the same, you know. That new boy, the little sniveling one, he'll probably soon become the target of bullying. He's too weak, always whining for 'Bella'. Is something wrong with his mind? Johnny's still awful, if you were wondering. How is Abigail? Has she been adopted?
I'm not worrying over death, Ethan. It isn't something to worry about. All things die, I already told you that. But did you know things can be brought back to life? Why don't you bring Mr. Blake back to life? Hopefully you aren't so weak with magic that you can't. If you are, I can help. I'd like for him to be back. He was very attentive whenever I spoke with him. And he didn't tell me what to think, like you. Also, there's no hope to be lost when you were never given it. When a person doesn't have hope or love, what do they become?
Tell Abby I hope she is soon adopted,
Elsa
