You have bewitched me body and soul, And I love- I love- I love you

Mackenzie had grabbed the letter that Apple had delivered earlier that day and her jar of treats and went to the owlery to spend time with her pet. She had been too scared of what the letter said to open it in the common room, the letter was from her grandfather, and it had her full name on it, that couldn't be good news or just checking up on her.
Seeing her walk in Apple immediately flew and landed on her outstretched arm. She walked to the roped off area, and was pleased to find that she would be alone. Opening the jar as Apple flew to a perch next to her she fished out a treat and fed it to her.

Deep Breath

She carefully opened the letter and read her grandfathers words.
SPOILER!!: letter

Mackenzie,
I unfortunately am having to be the one to break my only granddaughter's heart. Your grandmother and I received word tonight that your mother and father have been missing for weeks,and have unfortunately been found dead in France. Law enforcement is investigating but there isn't much to go on. Why we were not notified the moment they disappeared baffles me.

Darling, this breaks my heart to be informing you this way. If you wish to come home before Christmas please just write. We will make more concrete arrangements during your stint home then. Your grandmother is very distraught and has been instant on you coming straight home just in case this wasn't a random murder and our family is being targeted. But do not worry I have reminded her how important your education is. If you need anything at all sweetheart please do not hesitate to write your grandmother or myself.


I love you Mackenzie.
Pop.

gasp Her hand covering her mouth, Mackenzie couldn't believe it. She re-read the letter as the tears swelled in her eyes. Wishing the words to change, she was dreaming she had to be. But no, there they were. her parents were dead

Did she want to go home? No, she didn't. She had quidditch, and studies to do. She knew she wouldn't be able to handle being back in the house. The estate and her parents home in London were full of memories.. As they should be.

She folded the letter hastily and stuffed it back into the envelope it came in. She reached over and realized that Apple had flew off while she was reading. Standing shakily she retreated back down the steps to the castle, unable to stop the stream of tears that were flowing down her cheeks.

Her grandmothers fears echoed in her mind, the murderer what if he was after the family? Was she safe at Hogwarts?
