Gellert,


Voldemort--that proved both alarming and most useful. I am not precisely sure how to thank you. We hadn't seen a peep of him for years--he's been operating so far underground--but I started watching the signs again--

But did you ever forget at all, I wonder? Or were you setting me up to lie to you, as you guessed so well I might?

I was young, and foolish, and affectionate, caught up in your brilliance, and very much in lust. I cannot say whether I spoke the truth then either.

I cannot think what else to say to you. The Voldemort situation may become crucial--fatal--soon, and I do not know how much time I might have. But, Gellert, please believe you are free to owl me at any time.
