October 13th..
My Dearest,
Why can I no longer talk to our son? Ever since my release from Azkaban, a rift has formed and deepened between us. I have no idea what he is thinking or feeling anymore. He and I used to share such a close bond, but that is all but gone.
Is this simple teenage rebellion? Or is there a deeper problem?
I cannot talk to my son anymore, and it is driving me to distraction. I tried to take him to dinner, but he ended by doing something to terrible for words.
I am sorry, my dove. I do not mean to worry you, but I cannot talk to him. Perhaps you could, if only by owl.
I love you,
Lucius
