Snapshots: Betrothal

[toujours_nigel]

From A. Tonks to S. Black, delivered 29^th June, 1972.

 

Dear Sirius,

            As you will soon come to know, from other, more malicious sources, I have eloped. His name is Theodore Tonks and he’s a Muggleborn. But this isn’t my token rebellion. I love him. He’s smart and affectionate. And, Sirius, he doesn’t care that the Blacks have been wizards for fifteen hundred years. He doesn’t care. Can you imagine how liberating that is?

            I will, however, regret leaving you and Cissa. Give my love to her, and James and Reggie and Lucius, if they will have it. Stay in touch, dear, and not just when you need me to haul you out of trouble.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            Love,

                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Meda.
