The Letter

[Sabrina St. Clare]

Sabrina went up to the hallway and stood outside the Room of Requirement. She closed her eyes and said to herself. "I need a place to be alone.... I need a place to be alone... I need a place to be alone..." When she opened her eyes, there was a door in the wall. She walked over and opened it, and stepped into a room that was set up much like her own bedroom at home. There was a bed, a desk, bookshelves, and a big, comfortable chair in front of a roaring fire. She smiled sadly and walked over to the chair. She sat down and took out her letter.

For the thousandth time since she had received it, Sabrina unfolded the letter and began to read:

My darling daughter,

If you are reading this, then I must be gone. I am in terrible danger. I have discovered a plot to eliminate the Minister of Magic, so that Lord Voldemort may take his place. There are Death Eaters all around, including one in my own department. If they find out I know about this, they are going to kill me. One of them in particular is growing suspicious of me, so if I don't return, it means this person has found me out. Please take care of your father and sister. I know you will make me proud.

I love you,

Mom

Sabrina folded the letter up and put it back in her pocket before she broke out into tears.
