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 ( Read more... )

Sanara's letter to Minerva, first day of her sixth year.

Dear Evelyn,

I am on the horns of a dilemma. Do you remember I wrote to you about Olive Hornby? she’s in my year in Slytherin, and helps me with Astronomy. She has taken to teasing one of the Ravenclaws other students. The girl, whose name I can’t remember, comes from a family less well thought of than Olive’s family. I did not think Olive would ( Read more... )
