And I like being able to talk to you, and plotting revenge, and sticking together at awful parties. I want my friend back." It wasn't an apology, because Presley didn't feel she had anything to apologize for. She'd been honest, and Elliot hadn't liked what she had to say. But for whatever reason, Presley missed Elliot. A lot. She missed the sarcasm and the mutual complaining about family. She missed the little eyebrow raises across the room when someone said something particularly stupid in a class. All in all, she missed her best friend. Though she would never say those words to the fourth year.
Furmgoat flew through the tops of the trees, wonky wings flapping silently. He was searching for the small person to receive his letter, and he'd FOUND him in the owlery of all places! Furmy hooted softly as he made his decent, flying wide circles around the boy, in search of a perch.
The small owl settled near by the student, settling on a perch with one leg out, letter attached. He then proceeded to staaaaaaare down the boy.
"Hoot."
SPOILER!!: Letter!

Ma chère Presley,
I received your letter about a week ago. It was a very pleasant surprise to see that you speak my mother tongue. I really do apologize for such a late reply. My schedule has been so very hectic lately and I can barely find time to breathe in between accident sites and, as much as I would love to pen this message in French, I cannot. My sister has a tendency to pry, and I’d rather this stay between us.
Actually, Presley, I didn’t know about any of this until I received your letter. Perhaps because it wasn’t any of my business then. I’m sure you are as serious about your studies as a student can possibly be, from what I’ve heard. Despite that, I hope you enjoyed your time at my Alma Mater although I know it’ll never be the same as Hogwarts.
Presley, as much as I support you on this, running away rarely ever solves anything. But I’m genuinely happy for you for figuring out who you are and separating it from who people want you to be. I’ve told you before, that you show remarkable maturity for someone your age. But remember that you are still a child in some ways, and that you still need support.
I understand what you mean. I would be totally lost without my sister. You’d like her, she’s quite like you in some ways. She ran away from our grandmother shortly after her graduation. I’m sure your brother loves you no matter what, but I will do my best to help you. Honestly, I will. Don’t worry about our first meeting, I would have probably reacted far worse than you did. There’s nothing to forgive.
Yours,
Charmayne LeBlanc
Maybe some owl treats for him now? Furmy waited and stared...
