Correspondencia

Tess acababa de llegar después de terminar con sus clases. Se quitó las botas y se dejó caer en la cama para descansar un poco. Le dolía mucho la cintura ese último par de días y estaba pensando en qué hacer con el tema de Will. Estaba muy molesto con ella, de eso no le cabía duda, pero no quería estar mal con su amigo, así que se estrujó la cabeza pensando en cómo hacer para calmarle un poco la furia. No podía cambiar el curso de acción que tenía programado, porque no quería que Jax terminara haciendo una locura por ella, pero sentía que ALGO tenía que hacer... si tan solo pudiera quitarse el problema de encima y pasárselo a él para que se hiciera cargo si y cuando quería... pero la vida no era tan fácil...

Luego recordó haber leído alguna vez algo remotamente similar en la sección prohibida buscando otro tipo de hechizos para otra cosa (ya de profesora) y se le encendió la lamparita. Total, tiempo le sobraba, estaba de cinco semanas a lo mucho y hacerlo al día siguiente o esperar otra semana y ver si podía encontrar alguna manera de arreglar las cosas con Will y poner a descansar un poco su conciencia valía la pena.

Con esa idea como aliciente, logró levantarse nuevamente de la cama y se sentó en su escritorio, donde sacó pergamino y tomó la pluma del tintero para ponerse a escribir.

"Dear Rosie,
I was planning on doing it tomorrow, but I've talked with Will about it (I know it was stupid. Don't get mad at me!) and he's furious with me. He even asked me if there was something he could do to disuade me from it. Weird, right? Who would have seen that one coming.
Anyway, I was thinking about a way to calm him down and I think I remember reading something about freezing an embryo indefinitely somewhere at the forbidden section. Have you ever heard something about that? Sounds like really advanced dark magic but I was just wondering if it was possible to do.
Oh, and by the way, thanks for the recomendation. I went to my appointment with Doctor Dawson today and it was very insightful. He said that there's a fifty fifty chance for Jax and I.
Love.
Tessa"

Rose estaba aprovechando otra noche de tranquilidad para leer su librito muggle cuando una lechuza golpeó el vidrio de su ventana. Con curiosidad, la dejó entrar y tomó el pergamino atado a su pata. Lo desenrolló y devoró la carta rápidamente con una sonrisa en los labios. Su amiga sonaba mucho más animada y ya parecía de vuelta la persona que ella adoraba, así que se quedó un poco más tranquila... al menos hasta que leyó la parte de la magia negra avanzada. Eso la preocupó un poco porque habiendo una salida fácil para cualquier problema dado, no entendía por qué Tessa siempre tenía que ir a intentar la solución más difícil y con menos chances de éxito. Sin embargo era una buena amiga y estaba dispuesta a ayudarla. Lo que sí, se sintió un poco envidiosa de que a ella no se le hubiera ocurrido algo así en su momento. Hubiera sido la solución perfecta al problema que tenía con Jens, pero intentó no lamentarse más por eso.

"Dear Tessa,
I'm glad to read that you're back to your cheerful self. You had me worried!! I knew you'd tell Will anyway. Am I a witch or what??
I think I've heard something about that procedure in class a couple of years ago. Let me take a look at my old text books and maybe do a little research at St. Mungo's library tomorrow. I might be able to have an answer for you by then. I know there was a kid who managed to do something like that last year. Dr Dawson told me about it. I really don't know why I didn't think of this myself when I was pregnant with Jens's baby. I'm a little jealous of your brains. You would have done well in Ravenclaw, like the sorting hat told you.
I'm glad your app went fine. Severus is a really nice man.
If I can't find the information you need I'll personally help you with the procedure. How about that?
Lots of love.
Rose"

Cerró la ventana para que la lechuza no se pudiera ir y garabateó una respuesta rápida en el dorso del pergamino que Rosie le había enviado antes de volver a atarlo a la pata del ave que, tras picotearle el dedo molesta, partió volando. La carta decía:

"I knew there was something like that somewhere! Thanks a ton for taking the time to look it up for me. I've been so busy and exhausted I barely know what to do with myself. Don't feel bad about Jens. If he chose Jewel over you he really is an idiot and doesn't deserve you. Hang in there, princess. Prince charming will come along. I promise.
Love
Tess"

Al día siguiente, Rose le envió una extensa nota alrededor de las siete de la tarde, porque le había tomado bastante tiempo el juntar la información necesaria. Aparentemente, sí se trataba de magia oscura bastante avanzada y si bien no era algo maligno per se, no estaba del todo bien visto.

"Dear Tessa,
Sorry about the delay. The information wasn't easy to come by. It is indeed advanced dark magic, but it is legal and can be done with virtually no previous knowledge of dark magic. It is looked down upon though, even in the medical community, but I think no one saw me pull the books from the shelves... whatever. Like I care anyway.
Apparently, it's one of those spells that only requires your absolute concentration, so no incantation to chant or wand or anything, but that's precisely what makes it so tricky... and you only have one chance to get it right, but it's still better than nothing, right? I've gotten you a tinly flask to put it in, as I've read that the only way it remains viable for further implantation is if it's kept around someone's neck 24/7.
You haven't told me if you want my help with the procedure or not. Look, if you don't want me around, I'll understand, really. Just let me know in advance if you do, so I can work out my shchedule.
Love you to bits
Rose"

"Rosie,
Thanks a milion for the information. That's exactly what I was looking for. You're a genius!! That spell sounds complicated and I've never been good at wandless, but it's still worth a try... who knows? They say that determination goes a long way, right?
I'm sorry I didn't reply that part of your letter earlier. I was so excited I forgot!! Pregnant memory... you know. I'd love to have you with me. I've never done this before and I'm completely terrified. Just let me know when you have the time. I don't want to mess with your schedule, girl. It's kind enought of you to come and give me a hand.
Love you more
Tess"

"Dear Tessa,
I'm glad to be of help. Us women have to stick together, right? I'll be available next Tuesday night if you can manage to swing by. You know that the sooner the better when it comes to this business. I wouldn't want to compromise your health more than I have to. 
Keep yourself safe.
Tons of love.
Rose."
