SANARA SINISTRA: 25 December 1941

[lefthandstars]

Dearest Father,

I hope this letter finds the household well. Give my love to mother and Eddie, and best wishes to Mrs Hooper. I miss being with you this year, and I am worried that this year will be worse than last year. I know that that is a silly, and that you are worried too. But Hogwarts is very dressed up for the season. I ate breakfast with

I'm real real sorry you couldn't go home for Christmas.

[lefthandstars]

Thank you.
It's okay though, there are quite a few people staying. Last year they bombed England on the 23rd. I understand why my father doesn't want me there.

[moodyblueeye]

*shivers*
I remember my Mum told me about the Christmas bombing. I think she came out here not too long after that.

It sounds like you got nice presents.

[lefthandstars]

I did, thank you.

What's your mother's name? Where did she come out to here from?
Unless you don't want to tell me, then please excuse such presumptive questions.

*shoves impatiently at the fire*
Slytherin Common Room, Hogwarts

*waits for the flames to turn then shoves her head in*
Sanara? Anyone?

[lefthandstars]

*drops book, rushes to fireplace*
Minnie! What happened?

[_tartantabby_]

*grins at her*
Nothing, silly. I-
*speaks to someone behind her*
Fine... Sorry.
*turns back to Sanara*
I mean we just wanted to wish you a Happy Christmas!

[lefthandstars]

Oh!
*grins widely*
Happy Christmas to you too!
I was going to send you a note, but this is much nicer.
Is your family well?

[mollyprwett]

Is Eddie your little brother? They can be so sweet, can't they? *smiles* and such pains!

[lefthandstars]

He's five and a half.
He's much more confident than I am. I think he worries father.
You have a little brother?

[mollyprwett]

Yes, and an older one.
The younger one is Fabian - he's very sweet. The older one if Gideon and he's the pain.

[lefthandstars]

Our father allows Eddie relative freedom. Our mother is ill, and I think he doesn't know quite how to raise a boy.
I'm sorry that he won't be at Hogwarts at the same time as I am.

[serpent_lord]

Happy Christmas, Sanara. *smiles* I know Minerva's already said it for me, but it probably won't hurt to say it again, in person.

[lefthandstars]

*smiles back*
Happy Christmas to you to, Tom.
Did you have a good day?

Assuming this is him back from the McGonagall's.

[serpent_lord]

I certainly did, thank you. The McGonagall's are very nice people. They made me feel right at home.

How about you? How was your Christmas?

It is - and I haven't replied to the vintage post yet but Tom won't say anything that will confuse Sanara. ^__^

[lefthandstars]

They are very nice, yes.

I had a very nice day, in the end. Lunch was as wonderful as always, and Olive and I started our History homework.
I got to talk to Minerva, too, which was a lovely surprise.
