James stared at the sealed envelope that sat on the table in front of him. He easily recognised the handwriting as that of his brother Ezra which was strange. After some exchanges the previous year Ezra had made it clear he wouldn't be writing to him now that he had graduated Durmsrang and was a 'proper' adult. Yet here he was staring at a letter from his brother that had been delivered with the morning mail. James couldn't help but wonder what news from home would warrant a backtrack on his brother's no-contact policy. after finishing his breakfast, James pushed his bowl to one side and opened the letter. Nothing could have prepared him for what was inside.
James resisted the temptation to screw up the letter and instead placed it back on the table. His dad was dead, how was he supposed to process that. James had barely spoken to the man since his parents split up but all the same, it was his dad. Everything had been going so well for James recently it was almost as if he deserved something to blindside him. Ezra was a jerk but he was right about one thing. Jess would be the one to take it hard and to make things worse he had to be the one to break the news. Even after everything their father had done Jess still idolised the man, partly due to her being shielded from the details of his transgressions. The news could destroy her.
Letter said:James,
This shouldn't be coming from me but mom is in a weird place and isn't really up to doing it. There was an incident, I'll be honest I don't know all the details but the thing you need to know is...dad died. He was traveling with his team and I think he got into a fight with some locals, it got out of hand and someone took things too far. I know things were strained with you and him lately so I'm not sure how you will take this but I know he and Jess were still close, she will take this news the hardest. I know I haven't been the best brother to either of you but I hope you will look after her. We both know Jess comes across a certain way but she is more delicate than she lets on. Look after her okay and look after yourself. I'll send word about the funeral when I know more.
I'm sorry.
Ezra.
