Dear Madam Pomfrey:

It's the middle of the night, but I can't sleep. I saw the message the Sirius wrote a few days ago about the Headmistress, but I haven't seen anything publicly under the Order lock since about her, although I can see there have been some private messages going back and forth. I hope she's better. I've been worried about her.

Could you make sure that she sees this? Or read it to her yourself, if...if she's not in a fit condition to do so? Thank you.

Dear Headmistress McGonagall:

I am sorry you have been unwell. I've been thinking about you, and there were some things that I wanted you to know.

I wanted to thank you for being kind to me. When you took me from the gi Amycus Carrow, it was the first time a master had ever been decent to me. Maybe it didn't seem like much, but it meant the world to me. And you let me read books in your library, so I could study that way, and you made sure I was warm, and I had food, and that no one mistreated me where you could see it. And that he couldn't get at me.

That was a big step in my way back. To being human.

And then, after I escaped and made my way to Moddey Dhoo, I found out all the rest: about how you've helped saved so many people, so many kids, so that none of them would have to go through what Hermione and I did, even when you...even when you had to hide in Darkness yourself.

I know all about hiding your true self when you're surrounded in Darkness, and I'm sorry, because I know how hard it is. I reckon that's why you turned to something to make it easier. And that's understandable.

But please, don't do it anymore, because we need you. We care about you. I cut paper snowflakes for your windows that first Christmas you took charge of me, because I wanted to give you a gift. Even before I knew everything, I could see that you were someone who deserved something, even if it was a simple and humble as that.

I want to be able cut paper snowflakes for your windows for your Christmas gift for years to come. And for you to be able to see them.

Please get better.
