maxima ruqayyah greyback, This is Daniel Hoh, Adrian's cousin. He suggested I contact you. I guess we share a relative, so that makes us... Something. Anyway, he didn't tell me what was up but insisted that I offer my help. I will if I can. So, what's the story? Or rather, do you have questions for me before you tell me personal issues? I promise, I'm really boring at heart. Not a gossip, either. - Daniel Hoh

Dear Daniel,
I'm sorry if this is awkward for you. I told Adrian about my ability, and he mentioned you. I don't know what Adrian has told you already, so I guess I will explain: I've got this healing ability, and I don't really know where it came from. Basically, I can heal people just by touching them with my hands.
I actually met a woman with a healing ability last month, but her ability isn't my ability. It's as similar as anything I've found, though. (Adrian didn't explain your ability, either, for the record.)
I guess that I mostly want to know what you know. In other words, what do you know about how you got your ability? Do you know if you're the only one? (There have got to be more of us out there, haven't there? There must be other people with abilities that even magic can't completely explain, I mean.)
Thanks for writing.
Yours truly, Max Greyback
@daniel

maxima ruqayyah greyback, No, no. Not awkward, just unexpected. He didn't mention to me that you had an ability exactly. But I see now why he wanted us to talk. Those are good questions, I asked myself the same things. I don't know how I got my ability, but I have a theory about it. I think it has something to do with our inner nature. Basically, I believe everyone has the capacity to develop special magical abilities. Well everyone being magical beings. But not all of us get our inner nature triggered. For me, something triggered mine, I can pinpoint the exact moment. Can you do that? Trying to do so may help you in figuring out a little more where it came from, how it came to be. At first I thought I was the only one with anything like this, but I have since met other people with different kinds of skills. No one with my exact same ability, but I think they're probably more. Especially since you met someone who has something a little similar. I think the biggest help for me was talking to my school counselor about how to deal with mine. But yours seems a little more physical, mine is emotional. I mean, I guess I can just tell you. I can sense the emotions of those around me. So far I've only met one other person with an ability similar to mine, she can sense the intentions of others. It's very interesting. Does it scare you? Mine scared me at first. It's nothing to be ashamed of if so. - Daniel Hoh

Daniel,
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has questions about all of this. That's actually very reassuring, so thanks.
So you think that it's our personalities or something inside of us, essentially, that makes our abilities show up? I've never really thought about it like that. I guess I thought that it would be more like the accidental magic that people do when they're still too young to control it, but I understand your theory. Maybe you're right.
I don't know if my ability had a trigger. I've had some stuff happen, though. Not to scare you or anything, but I did try to poison myself at Halloween over a year ago. Maybe that did it?
It's good to know that there are other people out there like us, but your ability makes mine seem like nothing. Can you know what they're thinking, like a Legilimens? Or is it like an intuition? Knowing people's intentions also sounds very interesting. I don't really know if that's good or bad (and the same for your ability, really). I guess it's all about perspective.
My ability does scare me sometimes, though I know it isn't anything to be afraid of. I guess I'm really afraid of becoming reliant upon it and what if I think I can heal someone and then I can't. That sort of thing, mostly.
Yours truly, Max

maxima ruqayyah greyback, Yes, exactly that. I think we have a soul that connects to our magic and that magic can change if triggered. It could happen to anyone as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, similar to accidental magic - that comes from emotions, doesn't it? Desires? It's the same. Maybe trying to hurt yourself (and no, that doesn't scare me, but thank you) did stir something inside you. Something in your heart wanted you to have something to live for... maybe that something is helping other people not go through what you did. If that makes any sense. Nah, I can't tell what people are thinking - just how they're feeling. It's not so bad now. It's like... a flavor in the air, in my blood. I can feel it like it's a light, or lack thereof. It's tangible to me, in a way. Yeah, becoming reliant on it isn't a good idea, that's a valid fear. Just don't let yourself. But don't shun it either, like I did with mine for years. It hurt a lot of people for me to behave that way. Most of all it hurt me. Just be careful about that. - Daniel

Daniel,
Your explanation makes sense, I think. (At least, I think it's the most sense that I've been able to make of this entire thing.)
Your ability sounds interesting. It's the sort of thing that people always say they would love to have, isn't it? I think it goes back to that saying about being careful what you wish for.
Regarding your warning, I have been trying to do better about not keeping people at a distance. I've never been exceptionally good at that, regardless, I don't think. It isn't easy to feel as though you don't really belong. At least we know we're not the only people like us, right? Maybe we'll have enough members for a proper society someday. (I'm joking… mostly.)
Yours, Max

maxima ruqayyah greyback, There isn't a lot of sense in it all, honestly. I think magic is less logical than we want it to be sometimes. Yeah, I guess people would like to know what others are thinking or feeling, but I agree they don't koow what they're asking for. Hah! Our own proper society of 'special' people. I feel like we'd need to have our own muggle tv show. They'd think it's fiction, but alas, we'd know. It's been nice talking. Reach out anytime, really. - Dan

Daniel,
Maybe we should write the script for something and send it to some Muggles? I can't say I'm the most creative person in the world, though, so maybe we'd better not.
Even if we haven't got our own society just yet, would you like to meet in person sometime? Or is it easier to keep your distance? I'm available at Hogsmeade weekends, if you're free then.
Yours, Max

maxima ruqayyah greyback, Also not incredibly creative. Maybe we should hire someone to do it for us. Yeah, let's get together. How about your hogsmeade weekend coming up in March? I'm pretty swamped until then. - Dan

Daniel,
March works for me, too. We've got both the 29th and 30th in Hogsmeade. Let me know which works better for your schedule. Maybe we could meet at the Three Broomsticks?
Yours, Max
