Dear Natasha,
How have you been? Everything is fine over here, nothing much has changed really. Arthur went back to Hogwarts a few days ago when his Christmas holiday ended and Father started back up at the ministry so it's just been Annabeth and me here again. Did your lessons start up again? Mine did, lucky through Father trusts us to teach ourselves most days besides from the tutor that comes every monday and Friday, which I forgot to tell you but last monday Anna almost set her on fire. You should have seen her face, I thought she was going to blow or quit but she didn't and Anna just got grounded like usual.
You just turned 8 right? Happy birthday or Happy Late Birthday Nat, just three more years and you'll be at Hogwarts! I still have two more years to wait, can you believe it we'll soon be at Hogwarts soon I can't wait, can you? Father however told me that their are other wizarding schools and I been reading up on them for a while now and are you going to Hogwarts or somewhere else Nat?
Did you read anything interesting lately? Sorry I has to ask but you know me, I'm a major greek. My friend here in godric hollow has a quill pal to and something that she wrote got me curious, I tried asking father but he doesn't seem to know what it is either so maybe you will. Do you know what Dsi Disly Disneyland, I think that what's it call, anyway do you know what it is? From what my friend told me from what their friend told them, it's a place with uh rides I think for kids. Anyway it sounded weird so I just thought I would ask Nat.
I better go now anyway, Anna just made a mess of the family room and we need to clean it before father gets back or I get in trouble to. Bye for now Nat and write soon....
Sincerely, you quill pal

Dear Henry,
It’s good to hear from you! I’m sorry for the late reply, I‘ve been rather busy with schoolwork. My tutor is very strict when it comes to her classes, so I only got to read your letter now. I’m very tired right now, but other than that, I’ve been in a pretty good mood lately. My father has found a mate for our Black Mamba; it’s their mating season right now, which means that in a short time we will have a new clutch of eggs in our home. It’s big news for us!
I can’t believe that in just three years I’ll be able to go to a real school and do real magic! My tutor only talks about things a muggle teacher would. She keeps telling me that learning new languages is important… Sure… I know Korean and English, is that not enough? When she talks like that, I feel like I’m as defenseless as a muggle. Even the thought disgusts me.
But yeah, we are going to Hogwarts! At least that’s where my mother wants me to go. Father told me about Mahuto Mahoukotoro Mahoutokoro, it’s in Japan. He said that he was a student there and wants me to follow in his footsteps. So I don’t really know yet what’s gonna happen. Do you know other wizarding schools? I’m sure there are more, but I can’t seem to remember the others’ names. And what is Hogwarts like? Did your brother tell you anything interesting?
I didn’t really have time to read lately. And even if I did, there aren’t many novels in our library, and I already told you about those. But there are other interesting books! I saw one about the history of magic and another about potion making, but my mother wouldn’t let me touch them. I think she’s afraid that I’d burn them accidentally, just like how I burned my tutor’s robes the other day. She looked like a walking bonfire!
Disneyland…? I’ve never heard of it. I’m sure that it’s some muggle thing, but I’ll ask mother I asked my mother and she said that it’s a muggle “adventure park”. The kids go there to have fun, I think? But I’m not that curious, to be honest. What good adventures can the muggle offer? Would you go there and try the things, the rides?
...
Sometimes I’m jealous of you, Henry. You have siblings to keep you company, your father lets you study alone... Even though we are both pure-blood, our lives are so different. Tell me, what does it feel like to be… free?
...Anyway, I have to go, my father needs me. A viper is on the loose.
Tell Annabeth I said hi. Take care.
Sincerely, your quill pal,
Natasha Choi

OCC: Natasha and her family know that Henry's mother died from a werewolf attack when he was 6 from Henry's father but they do not know that he is a werewolf and also they don't know that Annabeth is a squib. Well technically everyone still thinks Annabeth is a witch since she's still below 11.
@Natasha ChoiDear Natasha,
It's great to hear from you and I'm so happy you written me back or haven't forgotten about me. I'm sorry to hear about your lessons and tutor but maybe if you accidentally set her on fire a few more times then she will teach you about magic, I was also joking about that last part, my father made me write that because it could of sounded mean or evil or whatever. Anyway I'm happy to hear about your father's snake finding a mate and I'm excited to hear you will soon have babies at your house, you have to send me a picture of the eggs when they arrive in your owl, I'm really jealous of you right now Nat. You have two adult snakes and will have a baby snakes soon.
Thanks for the information on Disneyland and after talking about it with my friend who wants to go, I have second thoughts on it. While I'm stick curious about this park and these uh rides, I'm still uncertain about them. What do you think about this muggle park for children?
But anyway I'm sorry to hear about your lessons but we have the same ones here, but for languages we learn besides from English; French, German, and Italian. Then we also learned and practice instruments, I knew how to play piano, violin, and voice and Anna knows flute, guitar, and voice besides from that we get normal and sometimes dull muggle lessons like you. Do you know how to play any instruments Nat? But as for magical lessons or lessons they teach at Hogwarts, my brother teaches me the material at Hogwarts during his holidays and so when I get to Hogwarts I will be advanced in my year.
I know I can't wait for Hogwarts to! My brother says its massive and it's also really diverse. Almost every student and teacher is a different background while the classes are interesting, they might be a bit boring for me since Arthur is teaching me it already so I can be advanced in them and at Hogwarts. Maybe I could teach you so then were both advanced at Hogwarts? He also said that everything really changed from when our parents were at Hogwarts, whatever that means and he has a lot of friends in other houses besides from being top of all his classes, prefect, and head boy in slytherin. Something that worries me since I want to make him proud while I'm at Hogwarts. Something I know Annabeth doesn't care about when we get to attend.
I hope you go to Hogwarts because I really want to go with you, it will be so much fun Nat! What house do you want to be in? I would like to be a ravenclaw or slytherin, but hufflepuff and gryffindor sound great to. I know about a few but I know the most about Dumstrang a northern wizarding school that teaches mostly dark magic, my father told me that his family went their or Hogwarts as Slytherin's. Lucky for me, him, mother, and Arthur all went or go there so Annabeth and I will go there also when were ready.
Don't be jealous of me Nat, I'm more closer with my brother who is almost always at Hogwarts and my twin sister is always away from me either causing mischief or playing tag with the other children in the village, something I will never do because of my anxiety, shyness, and stutter that you know about. Then my father is almost never around ever since my mum died but we only have a tutor two days a week and are expected to study by ourselves the others days and if we don't then we have a tutor 5 to 6 days a week which is the worst. So it's freedom but freedom with a cost.
And anyway I'm jealous of your family, I mean I never met my family on either of my parents sides and never even hear much about them while you met both and you even have a pet, I always wanted a pet. A cat really but we don't have enough money, that's another thing you have money and more books than me. So see we both have a mix of good and bad in our lives.
Your Friend,
Henry Knight

OOC: Something happened while she was writing her letter; you can read about it here.
Dear Henry,
You shouldn’t be jealous of me at all. My house might be full of expensive books, I may have a different tutor for every day of the week, and my parents at my side at all times, but I’m not exactly happy. Everybody treats me like a porcelain doll, and that’s exactly what I am to them. They don’t see me as a child, more like an object they can polish and shape as they want. My parents don’t love each other. I wish I cou (The words were crossed so many times that it's barely readable.)
Dear Henry,
Why would I forget about you? You are my dear quill pal and friend, and I don’t forget those close to me, you know?
I’m really excited about the small snakes too! But it’s not like we’ll keep them. While Argus IS my father’s pet, its offsprings will not. I don’t know if I told you this, but recently my father started to take over grandfather’s business. He’s going to breed snakes in our home, sell their fangs and eggs to potion masters all around the country. The little snakes will only be here temporarily. If we can’t sell their fangs, then we’ll sell them as pets. They are poisonous and very dangerous, but in the right hands, they are very loyal. And they are very expensive. I could ask my father to sell you one of them at a lower price, but I don’t know if he’d agree. Either way, I’ll make sure to send you pictures!
I would never go to Disneyland. Nothing good can come out of the things the muggles do. We are wizards, Henry, we have magic. Our world offers so much more than theirs. I’m surprised that you are even considering it.
I didn’t know that you’re learning French, German and Italian! That’s really daebak (cool)! I’m studying Romanian, Hungarian and Japanese. I’ve had trouble with the latter two though, they are very difficult. About instruments, my father’s side of the family loves music more than my mother’s, so I’m learning traditional korean instruments, like the gayageum and janggu. Have you heard about them?
You’re lucky to have an older brother that teaches you! It must be really nice to have someone that helps you prepare yourself for the classes, and tells you things about the school. I wonder if there’ll be muggle-borns in our year? I’ll have to know everyone’s status before we get to Hogwarts. I don’t want to accidentally make friends with someone below us. I don’t know what house I’ll be in yet, but I’m sure I won’t be in Hufflepuff. I wouldn’t fit in there. Maybe Ravenclaw or Slytherin? My mother was a Ravenclaw, I even say her old blue scarf in her room once! I think my father would’ve been a Slytherin if he went to Hogwarts. Gryffindor… I don’t know. It’s possible, but I have a bad feeling about them, don’t know why though. By the way, I would love it if you could teach me a thing or two about magic! I know some basics, but I want to know more!
Durmstrang sounds like a nice place. I don’t know why people hate dark magic though… I think it’s interesting.
Oh, and you are right, we both have good and bad in our lives. I would never switch places with anyone, I love my life just the way it is.
I’m going to South Korea soon! It’s my uncle’s birthday, and we are invited. They want me to play some traditional music. If you want to send me an owl, then send it to Seoul, that’s where I’ll be. Have you ever been in Asia? The sweets there are very strange, but at the same time they taste super nice! Aside from the octopus jelly. If someone offers you some, run.
Anyway, maybe I’ll get to send you some pictures, and sweets too! Any preferences?
I have to go now, my tutor is waiting for me.
Sincerely, your quill pal,
Natasha Choi

Dear Natasha,
I saw the part that you crossed out and while I couldn't read all of it, I read a lot and I'm sorry that you feel that way. I hope things get better and that at Hogwarts you can make other friends and find a family. I'm glad to hear that you won't forget about me because your one of my closet friends to and the snakes sound really cool but my father would never agree to owing an snake. He probably figures that Annabeth who use it to cause mischief or pranks with which she probably would but Arthur just wrote me and said that when he graduates father told him he will buy him an owl! I'm going to have an owl soon! Well technically it's Arthur's but he said I can use it whenever I need.
Your probably right about Disneyland, I was just thinking you know. And I know that we're wizards but sometimes it feels nice to day dream, speaking of my friend and I here love to day dream or talk on this large oak tree just outside godric hollow while Anna plays with the other children in our village.
Maybe we can teach each other our instruments sometime if we ever meet in person? Your languages are sooo cool, but I bet also hard. Father want us to learn German and Italian because he had to, he also wants us to learn Russian to while we know French because our mum spoke it and we want to keep her memory alive with it, do you know what I mean?
Arthur is beyond the best big brother ever! He's awesome, the two of us are so close and he always sends a sweet or something in his owls to me, I really love him. And I would love to teach you about magic Nat, your my friend and I always love to help my friends, you know me Nat. I don't really care what house I get in through, I mean I would like to get into slytherin like Arthur but Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff also sounds nice and I wouldn't mind to be sorted there, Annabeth actually wants to be sorted into either gryffindor or slytherin. As for muggle borns or blood status of the others in our year, I don't really care about that and why would we. It's not like we're above them or anything, we're all humans and everything and I'm just excited for the opportunity to finally make friends and find a place for myself.
South Korea sounds amazing, have fun, safe travels and good luck Nat. Your so lucky, I never get to go anywhere or visit with any family, as for the sweets whatever types you like. I trust your opinions Nat and speaking of sweets, enclosed in this letter is a chocolate frog, tell me what card you get, and a packet of jelly slugs. Arthur sent them for me but I thought you would enjoy them more, I hope you enjoy them!
Maybe we could have a sleepover sometime, you know like how other kids do it? We could do it over the summer holiday so Arthur could teach us both magic and then we can also explore godric hollow and play games. Write back what you think and we could tell our parents and hope that they say yes.
Yours truly,
Henry Knight

OOC: The letter came with a picture of Natasha.
Dear Henry,
You… weren’t supposed to read that. To know that. Please forget about it. Nobody should know about it. But I appreciate the sweets. I got Morgana, by the way! I’ve read a lot about her, and I think she is one of my favourite witches! She was a healer, but also practiced the dark arts. I think it’s awesome that she managed to pull out both. Which cards have you collected so far?
You know Henry… sometimes I think we are very different. I just can’t see what you like so much about those muggles. You keep talking about them as if they are our equals. You even want to make friends with them! I know that we are both human, but I… I can't really explain it to you; but it's not right for us to spend time with them. They're gonna destroy our magic, Henry!
But… Let’s just agree to disagree for now, okay? That’s what my mother always says when she and father get into a fight… One day, you'll see that I was right.
Anyway. It’s a shame your father wouldn’t allow a snake; but it’s awesome that you’ll have an owl instead! Well, Arthur will, but still!
You know, I’ve been around snakes since I was born. I can’t imagine life without them. The only other animal we have (that is not the snakes’ dinner) is my mother’s owl. The one that delivers you my letters! She keeps the bird in a cage in her room, she won’t let her near Argus. That snake eats a lot.
It's so nice that your family keeps your mother's memory alive! Learning French because she spoke it is really sweet. We have a special room dedicated in our manor for the portraits of those who passed away. My grandmothers' are there too; they died before I was born, so I visit their portraits sometimes. But I like your way of remembering better.
Henry, I always wanted to play the piano! And I can teach you how to play on gayageum! I like it more than the janggu. Would your brother really teach me too?? He sounds like a nice person. Now I really want to meet you and your family! I'll definitely ask my parents if I can visit you during the summer holiday. And maybe you could come visit too? I think the snakes wouldn't mind, but I have to ask father what he thinks. We don't usually have guests here that are unfamiliar with our serpents, and I don't want them to attack you.
By the way, Henry, you look exactly how I imagined you would! I can see how close you are with Arthur, and I really like how you have matching clothes with your sister. I wish I had someone I could do that with! But… why is one picture still? Why aren't you moving? I've been looking at it for some time, but I can't figure out what happened with it… did I broke it or…?
We will leave for Seoul tomorrow and won't be back until January 30th. We'll visit almost every relative there and the festivities for my uncle's birthday are going to last at least 3 days. I wish you could see it, they always make a traditional music competition among the children, and magic duels for the adults! I hope I win this year, I practiced really hard for my performance. And I can't wait to meet my cousin, Joowon! I'll tell you about him another time.
I need to go and get ready for tomorrow. I'll send sweets for you, Annabeth and Arthur when I get back.
Oh, and one more thing! Mother wants to buy some new novels for me, but we can't decide on what she should get. Any ideas? Favourite authors I should check out?
Take care,
Natasha Choi
PS. Since you sent photos of you and your siblings, I'm gonna send you one of me that my mother took while I was talking to Joowon last summer.

Dear Natasha,
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you or angry you. I just wanted to help but I could forget everything and never mention it again, I promise Natasha. You got Morgana! That's so cool, I only have one of her but I have a pretty good collection already mostly from Arthur. I could send you a few if you like so you could start collecting them to and I could even send you my favorite ones. Four of my top favorite cards are; Newt Scamander ( I got around 10 of him), Remus Lupin ( I got around 6 of him), Salazar Slytherin ( I only have 5 of him but I will send you one of him with this letter because I think you would like it the most), and Godric Gryffindor ( I have around 5 of him).
Were all different Nat but that doesn't me anyone is better than anyone else. Just because we have magic doesn't make us superior to those without, were all humans and I believe that those with magic should help those without.
Yeah let's agree to disagree, one thing that we don't agree on shouldn't ruin our friendship Nat and plus I promise to never bring it up again.
Argus is so adorable and he's so well behaved, I can see why your mother doesn't want any serpents around him. That must be nice to grow up with serpents and animals, I'm so jealous! I love all types of animals but the only chance that I get to see them is when either I find them outside or my father brings them home from the ministry for a day or two, he works in the beast division of the department of magical creatures at the ministry. What does your parents do Nat?
The portrait room sounds like a memorable way to keep your family alive and you can look and learn about them when ever you like. My house doesn't have a portrait room My siblings and I enjoy conversing in a language that I our mother spoke quite frequently, actually she taught my older brother the language personally but got cut off teaching me and my twin because of the accident.
I would love to learn the gayageum and I would love to teach you piano, I'm like a major geek and I love to learn new things while also teach my friends! Of course my brother would teach you, he super kind and helpful and he wouldn't mind at all but I will write and ask him about it but don't worry he will most likely say yes. And I hope our parents agree for you to stay we me for part of the summer, I really want to meet your and we could have so much fun! And maybe I could stay with you because I would love to meet you family, I will just need to ask my father if I can but I'm not so sure with him since he can be a bit overprotective for weird reasons as times. But I would love to meet you and we could have a bloody great time at my house and yours!!!
Arthur and me are amazingly close, were closer than brothers even. Yeah, that was one of the only times we wear matching clothes or are even together, most days I'm reading or with my other friend talking about our pureblood families or day dreaming while Anna is out causing mischief or hanging out with the other village kids, she found herself a okay group to hang out during the day but she can't talk about magic since there's a mix of muggles and wizard kids in the group. I don't hang out with them through, their too loud and mischievous for me but I don't mind. I have my friend here who I can talk about magic to and hang out with, oh right we can talk about magic because her family is magical to, so I don't need to keep any secrets from any of my friends!!!
You look so beautiful Nat! You sort of look how I expected you to look but your look so beautiful and adorable, I would love to see a photo of you cousin through since you talk about him so much. Oh you didn't break anything don't worry, the one that's moving is done with a magical camera that my father got me a few years back and the still one is done with a muggle camera that my brother got me a few years back. I'm actually quite good with both for photography and could send you more if you like?
Have fun and stay safe in Seoul Nat! Good luck with the competition but I know that you will win, the way you talk about music shows your dedication to it and so shows that you will win! I can't wait for those sweets and I'll also probably send you more in my next owl. Tell me all about your trip when you get back through, it sounds like a bloody lot of fun and also tell me about your cousin, you seemed really close with me. Is he sort of like a brother to you?
I have such a long list, I warn you that I'm a geek but a few of my favorite books that you should read are;
fantastic beasts and where to find them, Hogwarts a history, Tales of beedle the bard, Animal farm, Call of the wild, Quidditch teams of Britain and Ireland, New theory of numerology, Aquatic Wonders of Yorkshire: A Wizard's Field Guide, Merpeople: A Comprehensive Guide to Their Language and Customs, and Why I Didn't Die When the Augurey Cried. Then two author's you should check out are Newt Scamander and Ernest Hemingway.
I need to go father just got home and Anna did something which caused something to explode and ruin the kitchen! Father is having a row with Anna and I better either help her or read in our room.
Your Friend,
Henry Knight
PS. I sent another picture of me and Arthur since you seemed to like the other but it's from a few years ago so were much younger and plus another one of me and my friend who lives in Scotland. We met up at Leaky cauldron a few days ago and were running around London together, it was a bloody blast! I also sent you another chocolate frog that I had for a few days now plus that Salazar Slytherin card.

OOC: Two hours after the first owl arrives with Natasha's letter and gifts, a second owl appears with a mysterious letter.
With Natasha's letter come three small packages of sweets (each containing popping rice cakes, assorted fish scale jelly, and seaweed sticks), and a bottle of Hissing Wine, the Choi clan's speciality.
Dear Henry,
I don’t want our friendship to be ruined by that. Like you said, let’s forget we ever talked about this. Don’t worry, I haven’t told my parents about this, so we’re good for now. But if they ever discover, I don’t think I’m gonna get away with this. Anyway...
I’ve never wanted to collect cards, but seeing you so excited makes me want to! I have so many cards, I don’t think I’d be able to collect so many alone, so I’d appreciate it if you sent me some of your extra cards. If you don’t want to, that’s also fine! I can’t believe you have two of the founders of Hogwarts! You’ll only need Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff! Or do you already have them? If not, let’s make it into a competition. Whoever collects all the founders first, will get to ask something of the loser. Thanks for the Salazar Slytherin card by the way! Now I’m one step closer to winning!
Wow, it’s so sad you don’t get to be around animals that much… But I guess it has an upper side though, at least you can meet different types of creatures instead of being stuck with just one. I’m not complaining, Argus and the others are great, but things can be dull around here.
My mother works in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, but she’s not the one to catch criminals. She has a desk job, she organizes the other workers’ schedules. It’s not very exciting, so she doesn’t really talk about it. I’m sure your father’s job is much more exciting! My father stays home all the time, and tends to the snakes. Our basement is the serpents’ home, we have a different room for every species. I haven’t been in every room yet. It seems like the runespoors (that’s a type of three headed snake) don’t really like children disturbing them. The only time father leaves our home is when he does business with potion masters, or when he goes back to South Korea to bring over some of grandfather’s snakes. When I grow up, I don’t want to be like my parents. My mother’s job is boring, and father’s is interesting, but it’s so bad that he’s stuck at home. I want a mixture of both. Maybe a job at the ministry, but in a different department? Henry, what do you want to do when you grow up?
I’m sure your mother was a really good person. It’s so sad she can’t be there for you anymore… But I’m sure she’d be proud of you three if she saw you now!
I talked to father and mother before we came to Seoul, and they said that if I behave, I could go to Godric Hollow for the summer. But only if you won’t mind me going there. And they’d be more than happy to have you over! Father said that he’ll lock the serpents away while you’re here, so they wouldn’t harm you. We’ll make sure it’s completely safe, so your father wouldn’t worry. I hope he’ll let you come!
I think I’m just like you when it comes to friends. I have very few people around my age that I talk to. And even if I do, it’s always my parents who make me talk to them. Your sister is so lucky to have so many people around her! And it’s great that you can talk about magic with your friend. It would be weird if you couldn’t, and had to keep your magic as a secret.
To be honest, I never thought I was beautiful… I thought I was weird because of my eyes, they are so different and… strange compared to the others’ in England. So thank you for the compliment, it really made me smile!
So the second picture was… a muggle picture? I knew something wasn’t right about it, but I just didn’t know what. It freaks me out that you and your sister are frozen like that, but… it’s kinda interesting? I don’t know… But they look great either way. But you can send me more pictures if you want to! You’re great with a camera!
I could talk about Joowon all day! He is the closest thing I have to a sibling! When I was little and our family visited the relatives in Seoul, he often looked after me. He is eleven years older than me (which makes him 19 years old right now), but still behaves like a child sometimes! Our grandfather often scolds him for being immature, but he just wouldn’t listen. He even cut his hair short, and now has to use magic during family gatherings so people won’t judge him. (In our clan every man has long hair, it’s improper if they don’t.) You could say that he’s mischievous, so he’s kinda like Annabeth. But he’s way too old for childish games, and I’m afraid grandfather will hurt him for that… But he is really nice, you know? When I showed him the list about the books you wrote, he said that he actually had some of them, and even agreed to lend me those books so I wouldn’t have to buy them! The Animal farm, the Call of the wind, the one about merpeople, and another one I can’t remember right now. I can’t wait to start reading them!
But I have to go now, and get ready for bed. Tomorrow is my competition, so wish me luck! I'll tell you all about the celebration when we get back home. Also, the little packages I sent are sweets for you and your siblings, and uncle’s speciality, Hissing Wine for your father. They said it’s an alcoholic drink and… you don’t want to know from what it’s made. The adults in my clan drink it all the time, so it can’t be that bad. Tell me how you all liked the things I’ve sent!
Take care,
Natasha Choi
PS. Since you wanted to see my cousin, here's a picture with him and grandfather! I took it today while nobody was looking. And also one from when I was little, and Joowon came to visit.

Hey Kid,
I know what you are doing, or at least what you are trying to do. I saw the list of books. I know that you recommended her some muggle literature. I helped you, but only this once. I bought those books in a muggle shop, just so she wouldn’t need to ask her parents. While I support your attempts to change Nattie’s view on life, this is a really dangerous game you’re playing. Our clan doesn’t tolerate those who are friendly to muggles; they aren’t afraid to hurt those who disobey them. So if you want to help my cousin, I only have one thing to say: be careful.
Be on guard around Nattie too. She might think you are manipulating her, and cut ties with you in an instant.
Don’t reply to this letter, or you might expose the both of us.
You’re a good kid.
- Joowon

OOC: The letter came with 5 chocolate frog cards, two chocolate frogs, a bag of jelly slugs, and three pictures; one of bowtruckles, one of Arthur, and one of Annabeth and Henry.
@Natasha ChoiDear Natasha,
Collecting cards is so much fun plus we could trade them and play games with them, I sent you four along with this letter so you have a start already and I actually have two Rowena Ravenclaw's but I don't have any Helga Hufflepuff's so the competition is still on and to make it a bit more fair, I sent you a godric gryffindor card but just remember that I'm one step closer to winning Nat. Ugh this will be soooooo much fun!!!
I don't mind it really even through I love animals, I don't mind it and plus after we get Arthur an owl. I could get a cat a few years later! That is if Anna doesn't beg father for a owl of her own, which she won't. She got her eyes set on either a snake or spider which there is no way she's getting so she will probably end up getting a rat, another pet that she wants. But your still extremely lucky to always be surrounded be snakes or animals!
Your parents jobs sound cool, what in the ministry would you like to do Nat? I think I would like to be a magizoologist or maybe something that involves dragons or animals, I don't really know yet. Our mum mother was a auror and right now Author is looking between working with dragons, cursebreaker, and auror. While Anna wants to play quidditch professionally or become a broom racer or cursebreaker. We all have different, very different careers but some what the same almost anyway what does your cousin do? Or what does he want to do?
That's awesome news that your parents are letting you go and I talked to my father but he said that you can come February or march, before my birthday because after Anna's and mine birthday were moving to Liverpool!!! I hated the thought of moving away from godric hollow but his job his making him move so can you come February or March? I really want you to see my home and godric hollow!!! I also talked to my father about going to your home over the summer and he said if I behave then I could go but then he also said that he will talk to your mother at the ministry more about it so..... I don't know also Anna found out and she wants to come now. She loves Snakes and would love to join us so would you mind?
Speaking of snakes then you know Anna bought one of those thick wands at the joke shop in diagon alley and she put it out and pretended like it was our fathers when he ask me to get his wand. I picked it up and it turned into a rubber snake!!! I still hate my twin sister for that and now I feel weird around snakes which is worse... ugh....
Yeah I think were the same when it comes to friends to, hey maybe you could meet my friend here when you come! Speaking of magic... have you done any yet??? Have you done any accidental magic yet? I did it a few times but it always involves fire like once I accidentally lit a tree on fire then another I accidentally lit a book shelve on fire.
Being different or looking different is what makes you amazing or beautiful. Sure you can look like everyone else but what's the point or fun in that, it's better to look different or be different. And your welcome Nat but you really are beautiful, since I'm sending you more pictures then you have to send me more pictures, deal????
Your cousin; Joowon sounds amazing! It's sweet and amazing that he's your brother Nat and I'm so happy for you. That awesome that he had those books and make sure to write to me how they were and all that stuff, speaking of your cousin since he sounds so helpful and like he gives amazing advice, I also sent some sweets for you and your cousin that I thought you would like.
GOOD LUCK NAT!!! I know you will win at the competition, send me a owl when you do!! Thanks for the sweets by the way they were great, I saved a few for Arthur when he gets back for his summer holiday and father told me to tell you to tell your family thanks for the wine. Even though between us he only drank a glass and then put it in his wine cabinet with his other alcoholic drinks. He doesn't drink that much, funny isn't it? Only on certain days but anyway I also sent you some sweets to say thanks for the awesome sweets.
I better go, Anna and I have a few hours before our lessons start and I want to see the family of bowtruckles by our house. I sent you a picture of one that was on me!!! I also sent you a picture of Anna and me a weeks ago plus one of Arthur that I took without him knowing a few months ago!!! I hope you like them!!! Alright then write more later and bye Nat!!!!
Yours Truly,

@Henry Knight
Dear Henry,
Thank you so much for the cards! I actually ate the chocolate frogs the moment your letter arrived... I didn't get any closer to winning. The only thing I got was a bad stomach ache right before my performance. Joowon found it really funny, and took a picture. I'll send it to you, just so my parents won't see it; I look way too nervous in it, and I fear that my parents would ask questions. I ranked second, by the way. My third cousin was first, but I'm actually not that mad or disappointed. She is really talented and wins every year, so considering everything, I think I did great! We are going home tonight, which is good, because I'm exhausted from all the excitement going on.
It's so sad that Annabeth can't get a snake or a spider... Rats are interesting, but they don't last long in our household. You know, I think a cat would suit you! I don't know why, but I have a feeling that it suits you better than an owl. However, I will definitely be surrounded by snakes for my entire life. There's no way I can escape them.
I know it's silly, but I want to be the minister of magic in South Korea! I really want to do something there, but I'm not ready to tell anyone yet. It seems impossible right now anyway... But if I can't, then I want to work in the Department of International Magical Cooperation! I could create a connection between South Korea and Great Britain, I think my parents would be really proud! Of course, I'll need to look after father's business too if I won't have a sibling.
Magizoology sounds great, Henry! I think you could really pull it off. Your family's is involved in so many cool careers! I wish it was like that in my family. We have been doing the same for generations. deskwork from my mother's side, snake breeding from my father's. You know, sometimes I pity Joowon. While I can pick what career to follow, he can't. His father is going to be the next clan head, as he is the oldest among the siblings, and Joowon is the only son, so his life is going to be all about snakes. Maybe that's why he's so careless now? He want's to act like a child while he can? He cast a spell on our other cousins today, and made them dance with sticks (which resembled swords) today. Grandfather and aunt Jisoo (Joowon's mother) was not impressed, but he let it go for some reason, while aunt scolded him in front of everyone. I'll send a picture of that too! It was hilarious. Good thing uncle was not there when it happened.
It's so sad that you have to move away from Godric Hollow, but I'm sure you'll be able to make friends in Liverpool too! I wonder how many wizard families are over there... But anyway, I asked my parents and they said I can come in February or March. Just tell us when you have the time to have me over, and my father will take me there! I'm sure mother will be able to convince your father to let you come. Oh, and Anna can come too! I'd be happy to have her over. We'll lock the snakes away then, only Argus will stay in sight. He is rather calm, so I don't think Anna would be able to anger him, turn him against us or something. You'll see that you don't need to feel weird around real snakes!
Speaking of which, father said that he'd like it if Argus could come with me to Godric Hollow too. You know, so the snake could keep his eyes on me, and protect me if something happened. I don't think it's necessary, but father insists. Would it be alright if Argus came too? And what are we going to do here? Any plans yet?
There were a few times when I did accidental magic! The first time I was around five, I think, and turned my mother's eyes into mongoloid ones! I don't know how or why I did that... It just happened out of the blue. And for some reason I keep setting my tutors' robes on fire lately. Not always, but when we least expect it. I don't really like it, I need to stop doing that.
Also, deal. I'll send you more pictures from now on!
Joowon says thank you for the sweets, by the way. He ate everything, aside from the chocolate frogs, and I'm surprised that he isn't sick yet.
Now I wish you told me your father doesn't drink much, I could've sent something different for him! Like some special dishes; they are spicy though, really spicy.
I have to go now. We'll spend the day with grandfather before returning home tonight. He doesn't like tardiness. We'll talk more when I get home!
Take care,
Natasha Choi
