**Malvolio, Sebastian's tough little owl, finds Zero a few miles outside Hogsmeade and plops the piece of magical parchment that the boys used to contact each other without intrusion in the past.**
**The parchment reads.**
Dear, darling Zero,
My lily of lilies, please forgive my absence, most importantly. My father was ill and as the heir to the mansion I had to kick around our horrid house elves until they worked efficiently enough for my liking. It was beastly, but he is healed and has resumed run of the household.
Next, I must ask you to come to me as soon as possible. I have just heard the most outrageous news. Please don't delay. I am close to death... All right I'm healthy, but please hurry! I feel inconsolable and alone, my pet.
Your Sebastian

*A few miles outside of Hogsmeade he wilts away in shabby, falling apart house a family of poverty stricken Muggles called home. It could have been months or years since his narrow escape from imprisonment within the Ministry, he would not know. He lost track. The light of his life vanished, extinguishing with him, Zero's will to care about himself and his surroundings.*
*A flapping of wings breaks through his misery. Zero is momentarily aware of life existing beyond this hovel.*
*He spots a familiar owl delivering a page of parchment that he instantly recognizes, though he doesn't believe it is real. After his encounter with a supposedly dead vampire, he isn't sure anything is real anymore.*
*Scans the page wildly, soaking in each letter written perfectly as his heart begins to leap in his chest.*
This cannot be...
*He reads the words over and over, and not for one second is he convinced.*
This is a trick. A trap... They know for him I would die.
*Anger slowly rises, pushing him to pen a reply.*
*The letter reads.*
To whom it may concern,
You are no more Sebastian than I am the Minister of Magic. But, by all means await my arrival. Be sure to hold your breath as well.
Cheers!
Z.
P.S. I see you're "hot-on-my-heels". Thanks much for the reminder!

**Receives Zero's reply and groans inwardly, naturally any cautious dark wizard would have his doubts at such unexpected news. He should have known better.**
**Chooses his words carefully.**
Darling, skeptical Zero,
Why would I use our enchanted parchment that only our eyes can see if I am not truly Sebastian? I thought that would convince you and my handwriting is sublime as it ever was, I should think.
Ah, but you deserve more than my word that I am who I claim.
I have enclosed my beautiful wand with this letter. Please keep it safe until I can reclaim it. My wand is one of a kind and you should know what it looks like. My wand is approximately 12 inches of Mahogany with Unicorn hair core. It is a lovely instrument, my delicious Zero.
My luscious pet, I know every tattoo on your body and I'm probably the only soul who has seen you without eyeliner and I tricked my elves into forgetting it when they brought your things. You have the fairest skin and you once cooked me a cheese souffle when I was close to drowning myself in red and white wine. It was the best thing I've ever put in my mouth (with a few naughty exceptions, my darling.)
All my sincerity and affection,
Sebastian

*Remains suspicious, though he cannot deny the response is truly written in Sebastian's hand, and he takes his time in answering with words only his love would understand. The Ministry may yet be behind this sudden correspondence in hopes to lure him from his hidey-hole.*
Sweetest of absconders,
I left behind broken witch to give you my heart.
It is there you can claim us both again.
Aching for you,
Your Zero
*Without waiting for another reply or bothering with his unkempt appearance, he vanishes on the spot for the wood where he and Sebastian began their relationship after Zero left his fiancee at the altar.*
