alt_luciusPansy,
Have had occasion to glimpse some of the plans for the exercises of the next fortnight.
Sure you realise there will be moments that will be ... difficult for you. Trust you will be able to soldier through those incidents and maintain your composure.
Rest assured that none of the accounts contain inappropriate or contradictory information, and nothing that ought to give you any cause to worry. Only that, naturally, being in the place and learning the full history of the battles will perforce bring insight, stir emotions, which are more easily suppressed elsewhere.
Keep your head and you'll be fine. Remember that your father died a hero, regardless of the wand that brought him low. And remember that ultimately, that wand has been stilled, as well: Proof that betrayal always pays its price, in the end.
Perhaps I have not said so recently, but I've been ... proud of the way you have comported yourself this year, in the face of ample provocation. Hope you shall continue to show your classmates and all who would scrutinise your behaviour that you have matured and are beginning to grow into a witch who exemplifies the qualities of breeding and industry which are to be applauded in Our Lord's society.
And there will be those who are watching your moves, along with Draco's, Harry's, &c, so do be careful, my dear. But be sure that amidst the gravity of the training grounds, you also remember to have fun.
We are all looking forward to Freedom Day, when as you are no doubt learning, we shall all see the combined skill of the CCF. Until then, I remain as ever, your loving god-father,
Lucius

Professor Sinistra was kind enough to let me know in advance, as soon as she found out, really, so I've had plenty of time to think it through and prepare. And I'm sure that everyone will be very understanding, which can be trying in its own way too. I will do my best. And you're right, just because parts of it will be sad, that doesn't mean that I can't ever smile, or laugh, or have a bit of fun. I'll try to remember that.
It will be a great deal easier now that she's gone.
I didn't know that you knew.And you have no idea how happy you've made me just now, by saying what you did. I think I can take on just about anything knowing that you're proud of me. It means ever so much. I hope that our class will meet expectations at the Freedom Day as well, and I cannot wait to see you then.
All my love,
Your Little Bit.
