SIRIUS BLACK: 20 October, 1971
Dear Regulus,
Sorry for not writing for so long, but things just keep getting busier here. Why haven’t you written back to me? You’d think that school wouldn’t be much fun, but the lads and I get along really well and even though we still have to go to lessons, it’s not horrible. Plus, the food is actually pretty good ( Read more... )
*smiles*
Hello, Sirius! How are you today? Surviving the first month-and-a-half of lessons alright?
I cannot get over the cuteness of your Little!Sirius icon. *g*

H-hello, Sir. Erm.
Well, thanks. I'm... *nervous smile* Yeah, I... Hogwarts is really great.
*giggles* He's WAY too young, but he is so adorable. :D

Sir? I'm not that old!
*winks*
You can just call me Edgar. Or Bones, whichever you're more comfortable with.
*grins*
Yeah, I think Hogwarts is one of the best places in the whole world. Do you have a favorite subject, yet?
*g* Yes, definitely too adorable to pass up, even if he's too young!
Out of curiosity, who is the actor?
Oh! I just noticed -- I think you may be missing tags?

Erm. Edgar. *grins back*
It's brilliant.
I like Dark Arts and Transfiguration best.
*giggles* He is awfully sweet.
The actor's name is Sam Fior and he was young Ichabod in Sleepy Hollow. This screencap is actually from that movie. He was too perfect to pass up since he was so great as a young Johnny Depp there, too.
Oh my goodness. *facepalm* Yes I did forget my tags. Thank you! LOL. I knew I had missed something when I was posting; I was sure of it!
Oh, and I had a question for you, too. I'm not sure how I might fit this in, but would you be opposed to Sirius possibly writing some letters to Edgar in later years? He seems suitably awe-struck to maybe consider seeking magical advice about stuff once Edgar leaves Hogwarts. No worries if not. :)

That's much better!
Ah, yes. DADA and Transfiguration are a couple of my favorite subjects, too.
*muses*
I also enjoy Ancient Runes quite a lot... You'll get to take that when your older, if you decide to add it to your schedule.
*grins*
Any subjects you really hate so far?
Yes! He does look like he'd be perfect for a young Johnny Depp -- excellent casting!
*pats* Glad I could help!
Edgar would be thrilled to get letters from Sirius and I'm sure he'd be happy to share some older-brother-y magical advice! Thank you for asking! There may be a period of time when Edgar is in hiding (I haven't quite decided yet) but other than that he'd always be available. Whenever you would want, just email me a heads up and we'll get it all sorted. :-)

Yeah? I'm one of the best in my year for both. James is really good at them too and he keeps talking about Care of Magical Creatures. That sounds like fun and maybe just a bit dangerous.
*wrinkles his nose*
Well, I'm fair at Potions, but... *lowers his voice* I think the professor is a bit of a twit.
Fabbity! Some of this stuff I may have to talk with the other Marauders about as well, but I will be sure to contact you before I post any letters and we can work out details. :D

I've heard a lot of people enjoy Care of Magical Creatures, but I decided not to take it myself.
*laughs*
*lowers his voice*
What's this? Slughorn not your favorite professor?
*eyes twinkle*
Excellent! Sounds like a great plan.
btw, I've just realized I have a couple questions for you! But, as I must relinquish the computer to my sister, I'll just email them to you later tonight! *hugs*

I don't know about Ancient Runes. I suppose that could be interesting.
*flushes just a little*
I don't like him. He's... sort of smarmy, isn't he? And always going on about the stupid pineapple. And he stares at me all the time with this weird look on his face.
*shudders*
Yay! And by all means... email away whenever you can. I look forward to your questions.
Reply
I think it's fascinating! But that might just be me...
*laughs again*
Well... That's Slughorn for you. *shrugs* Maybe he stares cause you remind him of someone?
*thinks for a moment*
Say, are you related to Bella and Andy?
*g* I have just reclaimed the computer and emailed!
Reply
Maybe.
*pulls a face*
I don't know. I just wish he'd stop. I--
*blinks at Edgar*
*nods solemnly*
I'm a Black. Heir to the Family. They're my cousins.
Reply
Well, maybe you just remind Slughorn of them...
*grins*
Or maybe Slughorn's just getting a bit mental in his old age...
*shrugs*
Could be anything, really.
*smiles*
I wouldn't worry about it.
