Dear Arjan,
Hi there - you don't know me, but my name is Aly. I'm a sixth-year student at Hogwarts and one of your biggest fans! I like to follow the careers of up-and-coming Quidditch stars, and yours in particular has caught my eye in a big way. I saw your picture in last month's Quid Quties magazine and - well - you have such a nice smile! You just seem so... charming, I can't help but call myself a fan now.
I'm also a Quidditch player, but I've only ever held a Beater's bat a couple of times. I play Seeker for Ravenclaw (the blue/wisdom House, here at Hogwarts). You've probably been to Hogwarts a couple of times, but I don't think we ever met - a pity, but I definitely would have remembered you!
Anyways, to the point - I've cut out the poster from Quid Quties magazine and enclosed it in this letter (I'm sorry if the owl was struggling - it's surprisingly hefty), so, well, I was wondering if maybe you'd be willing to sign it for me? No worries if not, but I'd definitely love to hang it on my dormitory wall!
Sincerely,
Aly Salinger
P.S. How did you get into professional Quidditch? I'm looking at future careers myself, and I think you're maybe the person to ask, since you're so talented and all...

This Letter: Fancy white & grey marble parchment with a thin silver foil border and "THE ARJAN OBEROI" printed in silver foil in the centre of the top, just under the border. The letter is delivered in a matching marble envelope. On the back, it is sealed with a silver wax seal and his name in silver foil on the top. Letter is penned in black italics.
This package contains the poster, signed in the corner as "Aly, Keep on flying, The Arjan Oberoi" and a postcard with his headshot of him. The back has 'The Arjan Oberoi' foiled at the top and a handwritten note saying "Aly, See you on the Quidditch Pitch one day, Arjan".

Dear Ms. Alyssa,
It is an absolute pleasure to hear from you. As one of my biggest fans, I already know that you have the capability to succeed in the Quidditch world. You have impeccable taste and I would be happy to advise you on how to reach your goals.
May I ask what you look like? You are correct in the assumption that I have visited Hogwarts several times in the past, and attended the International Summer Camps that Durmstrang and Hogwarts both attended. Perhaps I would recognise you but it truly is a shame that we did not get the pleasure to meet in person during these visits.
I am aware of Ravenclaw - a close friend of mine was one. It is a fine house, and it is a matter of pride that you play on the team. Perhaps, one day, you will be able to see how this Beater plays up close. My game tickets sell out very quickly but perhaps I can save one for you sometime. Are you hoping to continue playing as a Seeker professionally or would you consider another role on the team?
As requested, I have returned your poster - signed, of course - and included a postcard that I thought you might appreciate too.
Keep on flying. Maybe I'll see you out there, one day.
The Arjan Oberoi

Dear Arjan,
I can't believe you replied! I mean, I suppose I can, but I can't! Thank you so much for the autograph - I've already hung it on my wall. And the postcard is lovely, you surely know how to pose. I'm a photographer myself for the Hogwarts student newspaper and I wish half my models had your smile!
As for what I look like, I've included a photograph of myself too! I don't have any of myself on the pitch, unfortunately - I only just got a camera of my own last year, and I haven't thought to give it to any of my mates and have them get any snapshots of me flying yet, though I might have to now - but here, you can have this one. My best mate Dee took it of me in the Great Hall last week, so it's pretty recent. Smiling just for you!
Now that I think about it, we might have played each other way back when! A few years ago, I was on the Ravenclaw team that played Durmstrang (and Koldovstoretz) in the summer game - but I was knocked out pretty quick and don't remember you if you were there. Then again, I don't remember much of that match overall! That's the problem with taking a Bludger to the face, I suppose.
I try to avoid Bludgers nowadays, but it's a bit easier playing as a Seeker, I think - always got one of my team's own Beaters on defence. I do like the position, and I've played others too in the past, but I'm not sure about doing it professionally - I'm halfway through my sixth year and my professors are on my arse about figuring out a job for post-graduation, and while I think it would drive my mum mad if I went into professional Quidditch, I must admit it's alluring. I'd definitely love to see one of your matches if you're willing to save me a ticket sometime when Hogwarts is on one of its exeat weekends or holidays - and not just for the job research!
You'd have to win, of course, but I don't think that would be a problem with you on the team!
Looking forward to hopefully hearing from you again,
Aly
P.S. Oh, and you can call me Aly. Please, I insist!
