Stay With Me ** (ROYAL)

[Deleted]

My Dearest Royal,

How've you been? It's been quite a long while since I've seen you...I miss you. Is work going well? Being here at Hogwarts is pretty enjoyable. I've seen a few friends that I had before I graduated, as well as talked to some prior teachers. These kids are crazy about this Tournament going on. Will you be visiting anytime soon?

I saw Abigail a few weeks back. We'd never spoken outside of training before. She's sweet. I got her to smile quite a bit! She did cry too, though. How is she? Doing any better? I hope so.

Write back soon, can't wait to hear from you.

Always Yours,

Jonah

dear jo,

I've been crazy, crazy busy. My sisters had their nineteenth birthdays so I tried to spend some time with them and celebrate. Speaking of which, Abby said you gave her some advice that helped her. I know you didn't just do it because she's my sister, but I really appreciate it. I haven't seen much of her lately, and I can't wait to have her back to her old self. She's doing better, I think. Just might need a little more time.

Work has also been keeping me crazy busy, though I'd imagine it's the same for you. Have you been stationed at Hogwarts? Hope to hear from you soon.

love,
royal

My Dearest Royal,

Of course, Roy. No need to thank me, you know how much I like to help people, and I don't want to see her sad. I know you love her, and your other sister, and I just want to be able to help as much as I can. I hope she gets back to her old self soon, too.

And yes I am! Myself along with a few others are here at Hogwarts for the year. It's been pretty fun so far, but stressful as well. Especially taking the night shifts, we all know how much I love my sleep. I know you're busy, but take care of yourself, too.

Ooooh, love? That's new! Speak soon, handsome.

Always Yours,

Jonah

dear jo,

I don’t need to thank you, but I want to. I need her more than I care to admit – her and Adelaide. It’s easier to say that I just love them because they’re my sisters, but I need them, too, because they’re the only other people who know what it’s like to love my father, and then to lose him. It’s nice to know that someone, somewhere, knows how I feel about Dad.

Well, have fun going back to school! I hope that you’re still getting enough sleep, even if it’s not always at the night time. I’m busy, but I’m happy. It’s nice to have a purpose, you know?

I sign all my letters with love, silly, because the only people worth sending letters to are people I love. Write soon.

love,
royal

My Dearest Royal,

I know you need them; they're your closest family and the people you've known forever. I hope your sisters get better soon... You all deserve happiness.

Yeah being at school has been pretty enjoyable, it's nice to see all my old classmates and Professors.

Is that true, Royal? You love me?

Always Yours,

Jonah

dear jo,

I’m not even hoping for them to get better soon. I’d just be fine with them getting better, period. Don’t forget that you deserve happiness, too, Jonah. Don’t settle for me.

Hopefully you haven’t seen any old friends, eh? Anyone you’ve seen that you’re not particularly thrilled about seeing? I don’t really know a lot about people you don’t like, but I know that you must dislike someone…right?

Hush, Jonah. That’s not the sort of thing you’re supposed to write in a letter. The next time I see you, we can talk about that.

love,
royal

My Dearest Royal,

I know what you mean. And I know I deserve happiness; I assumed I'm a pretty happy guy, don't you think? I can't imagine the last time I was really upset about something...and Royal, don't you ever think I'm settling for you. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

What do you mean? Of course I've seen old friends! It's nice to chat with them again. But no, unfortunately I actually don't have anyone that I dislike! Yeah there's people that have made fun of me, but I just learned to ignore them. That's why I'm so happy.

Okaaaaaaay, Royal. I guess I'll hush...but I can't wait until I see you again.

Always Yours,

Jonah

dear jo,

I know that you're happy and stuff, but there's a difference between being happy, and being happy, you know. I hope that I'm not the best thing that happened to you, because I'm pretty messed up. You could do a lot better, trust me.

I can't believe that you don't dislike anyone. Not even a little bit?

I don't think we'll be able to see each other again until October. We're still smoothing things out with the tournament, and hopefully all of the preparations will be done before the champions are chosen on Halloween. Then we can talk to each other in person.

love,
royal

My Dearest Royal,

Oh Royal stop it! I am happy, and you are the best thing that's ever happened to me. You're perfection, in and out. And I've never wanted anyone else but you, ever. There is no better, there's only you.

Really, not even a little bit! I mean, sometimes I dislike Jake, but who doesn't?

That is alright, Roy, we've got our own things going on here. I am quite excited to see you though; will you be dressing up for Halloween?

Always Yours,

Jonah

dear jo,

I’m not perfection, trust me. And I don’t really want to be – our mistakes and our flaws are what make us human, and I’d rather be a human than some sort of god. The world is so much bigger than me, and I think we both need to embrace that. It’s big, and it’s scary, but it’s also so beautiful. I don’t want you to miss all the beauty because you’re too busy looking at me.

I haven’t disliked Jacob at all in the past twenty-four hours, so that’s a start.

I don’t know if I’ll be dressing up for Halloween. No one ever trick-or-treats at our house because we still have a lot of protection wards, and it’s a hassle to get through them. Maybe I’ll be expected to make an appearance at Hogwarts, in which case I’ll be dressing up, but not in a costume. What about you?

love,
royal

My Dearest Royal,

Don't worry, I'm not missing anything. I know the world is beautiful, I see quite a bit of it while working, and I'd love to see more of it. I've always enjoyed traveling. But I'd love to travel with you, so I have the beauty of the world and the beauty of my life together with me.

Well I'm glad you don't dislike him at the moment, however by the time this owl reaches you that may have changed, huh?

I'm also not sure if I'll be dressing up. I'll be at Hogwarts myself, but most likely in my auror robes. Halloween will be an exhausting but fun night; are you excited for everything that is going to be happening within the next month?

Always Yours,

Jonah

dear jo,

Travelling will probably have to wait for a while. I’m sorry that I’m so busy, but you know how a new job is, and mine happens to be an important new job, so everything is kind of amplified. I’m not sure that I’d feel comfortable traveling, anyways. There’s so much that can go wrong.

Still don’t dislike him. I think this must be a world record or something.

If I do end up going to Hogwarts for the Goblet ceremony, I’ll let you know and we can see if we can spend some time together. I’m not sure if I’m excited for much of the coming month; I’ll be more excited when things go back to normal. Write soon.

love,
royal

My Dearest Royal,

You need not apologize, Royal. Honest. I do understand, and you need to focus on work. I'd never take you away from that, don't forget it. And there is a lot that can go wrong, but facing your fears is what helps you grow. And I'll always be there for you.

Hey now, Jake can't be that bad! I know he's annoying sometimes but he can be a delight!

That sounds good, I hope we can spend time together. Sneaking off is always fun...although I'm sure your job wouldn't approve. I hope to see you soon.

Always Yours,

Jonah

dear jo,

No offense, but I think I’ve faced plenty of fears already. I’ve reached my quota for the next ten years, I think. You can go travelling without me, if you want. I really don’t mind. I don’t want you to miss out on the world because I’m holding you back.

I know that he’s a delight. He’s my friend.

As a rule, high-level Ministry officials shouldn’t go sneaking anywhere. It opens them up for potential assassination. I hope to see you soon, too.

yours,
royal

@jill3

My Dearest Royal,

I know that, Roy. I wasn't saying you hadn't. But honest, I wouldn't enjoy it much without you, so you wouldn't be holding me back. I'll find something else enjoyable to do, with you, okay? That's what is important to me, doing things with you.

And it was just a fun joke is all, Royal. I don't expect you to ever go sneaking off or doing anything you shouldn't be. That's not who you are, and like you said, it puts you in a bad position.

No more signing 'love'? Did I say something wrong?

Always Yours,

Jonah
