Have arrived safe and sound at Hogwarts, as promised. See, I told you there was nothing to worry about. In fact, I ran into Lil on my way up to the owlery and she seemed quite overjoyed to see me, so, see, it's a good thing I came back.
I hope this owl finds you well. IT was nice to see so much of you the past few days, even if the circumstances were less than pleasant.
What the bloody hell was that? You call that a letter? I mean, especially after...look, I'm not exactly your healer or anything, but really, 'i hope this finds you well?' 'It was nice to see you?' Really, how more impersonal con you get? Or did Lil get a hold of it and try to generalize it?
And well, yes, speaking of Lil, it's very nice to know she's happy to see you and everything, and send her my love would you? And make sure she doesn't get into too much trouble. You know Lil.
And yes, for your information, I happen to be quite well. Or I was before that letter you sent Or maybe I wasn't. But you're resting right? and if you EVER try somethign that STUPID, at the very least without me around to take a look, I will wait until you're fully healed and throttle you myself. Nearly had a bloody heart attack.
I'm rambling again aren't I? Oh sod it. Rest up Ailwin, and get better for me okay? I miss you.
((lmao do you see how you signed that owl, lauren? *dies*))
I'm sorry, Abby, trul. I was in a bit of a hurry to get the letter sent and get back to that resting you and Lil and all the healers all seem to insist I ned an.. well, alright, I'll admit I am still a bit tired. And I didn't want you to worry if you didn't get something from me straight away, so I was trying to get something off quickly and.. I'm babbling, but really the last thing I intended was to upset you.
And I'm sorry I scared you. I was bloody daft and I know that, rushing into that tomb like a.. a Gryffindor. I don't know what I was thinking and you have my full permission to hex me into next year if I ever do that again.
I promise I will rest and I won't overexert myself. And I will watch out for Lil, as I always do. I would never let anything happen to her. I hope you know that.
And I miss you, too. Perhaps when I'm all better we could meet in Hogsmeade for a drink or something.
Well...I suppose it's alright I mean it is you and all. It's possible that I could be pursuaded to forgive you. And you had damn well get your butt in bed mister. Don't make me come up there, and if I hear you're doing classes before you're ready I'll hex you into next friday.
And you scared the bloody hell out of me Ailwin. God...and I had to read about it in the Prophet...and it was awful Ailwin, just imagine what that was like. And if you ever do I swear I'll do all manner of torturous things to you.
I do know you watch out for Lil, and I can't thank you enough for that, really. You've been so great with her and everything.
I.. er.. well I just thought it would be nice to see you and relax and perhaps have a nice conversation, which I suppose would qualify it as a date. Would you say yes if I were?
I promise I'm resting. Honest. Tood bloody tired to do much else. And I really am sorry I scared you. Really, I'd love to take the whole affair back, because it wasn't much fun on my end either.
There's no need to thank me about Lil.. how could I not? You know how I adore her. Since the day she was born.. I couldn't love the girl more if she were my own.
So, Hogsmeade then? In a week or two after I've reasted sufficiently to satisfy the healers? I best get back to that resting, I suppose, so I can be well enough to make good on such plans.
Well of course, it's always nice to see you, you should know that by now, don't be ridiculous. and yes I think I rather would.
You would not Ailwin, I know you too well for that. You enjoyed Egypt far too much and got your nose into things a little far is all, but you loved exploring those tombs and things all the same.
Honestly AIlwin, you have no idea how much your friendship has mean to me us over the years, and how wonderful it's been for us Lil to have you around. Don't let her sass fool you, you know she loves you. Sometimes it just takes a little more for her to show it.
And yes, HOgsmeade, I think that's a lovely idea, and you'd better be there or I'll buy some tea and brew some potions and march into Hogwarts myself.
Perhaps I'll stay ill just to see you try that, then ;) Really, I wouldn't mind my own personal nursemaid ;)
I don't want to take back Egypt. Just the part where I was bloody daft and rushed in before the cursebreakers checked it out. And the part where I scared you. I hate the thought that I was the cause for you being upset.
You and Lil are my family, Abby. I hope you know that. Rick was like a brother to me and losing him.. well I don't have to tell you how awful that was. I don't think I could have made it through without you. And Lil. And, aye, I do know she cares. Girl all but tackled me in the hallway when she saw me.
Hogsmeade it is then - it's a date. Er, if you'd like it to be a date. And just so long as we don't have to go to Madam Pudifoots. Something respectable like The Three Broomsticks would be much better I think.
You realize of course that Lil would be there far before me? ;)
Yes, you bloody daft...I mean, I was coming in in the next day or two, but you, you couldn't bloody well wait for us could you? No playing hero Ailwin, and no playing stupid either, alright?
And you are ours. You always have been a part of our family Ailwin. maybe you're looking to be more? There's no way Ailwin, that I ever could have made it through Rick's death without you. Not a chance. Lil even more so.
Wait, she did what? Really? Huh. Go figure.
I refuse to step foot in Pudifoots, so don't worry about that. And i..well, calling it a...er...date...might be rather nice.
Yes, she would beat you to it. She's already beat you to lecturing me about resting, thankyouverymuch.
I know, I know.. it was bloody stupid of me. I promise I won't be doing that ever again. And I promise loads of resting, because the sonner I get better, the sooner I get to see you.
A date, indeed. I'm very much looking forward to that.
Let's agree to both look forward to it equally, then, shall we? It'll be a grand time. I promise to do nothing but rest and not get into any trouble in the meantime. If I don't, you have full permission to hex me into oblivion, eh?

SHe's her mother's daughter, what can I say?
Well good then, and you...well Ailwin, it doesn't do you any good to try and get me to blush without you being here to see it.
And on that note, yes, postively loads of resting for you.
Not more than I am I'm sure.

Yes alright, that sounds like a wonderful idea. Mind you, I don't exactly need your permission, but it's nice for you to give it. ;)
