Owlities to a penfriend Bea Blanco closed

Dear Bea,

I've finally got enough time to reply... whoa! It's been cra... wait for it... zy at school lately, really!

Funny-sad story from home - we'd used to hear my parents reproaching Lore for always only writing when he needed money, and he'd always be telling them that he wasn't, that he was really busy with the classes. And guess what now! Here I am, repeating my brother's mistakes... sadness.

Well, but at least, I'm not asking them for money, haha.

Whoa, and are you okay?! The tacher told us that mandrakes' crying can cause people to pass out even, and, if it's long term exposure to the sound, they can even go deaf! So dangerous! Pay attention to take them next time we're replanting the babies roots.

Whoa, you paint? That's so COOL! I'd love to see your paintings! Perhaps, you can show me when we meet? What do you like to paint the most? I mean, if it were nature, then I've got a type for you! The sunrise over the Hut and in general, Grounds, is just GORGEOUS! What do you say we go and check it out together some time? You said you liked strolling, right? Me too!

Well, I spend most time outside. My grandma told me that only half an hour of walking a day on the fresh air will make and keep me fit. And what do I do? Whoa, there are so many things! I love to play catch or hide and seek. But sadly, I don't know anyone here yet, so I just hang around the lake, catch butterflies and dragonflies, or play ducks and drakes. Or I just do my homework there, now that it's still warm. Perhaps, you could accompany me one day!

I sometimes go running too, like just now. I'm sending this letter on my way from the run, haha. The reason is that it helps me not get distracted so often in lessons. Got that from my dad, he's a runner too, so we often jog together!

But I'd love to become part of the Duelling Club, probably next year when things settle down a little. Lore was a member too, and so were my mom and grandpa. So, I've got a family tradition to keep, it seems, haha.

Are you thinking about starting one of the school sports? If so, which one will you choose?

Whoa, your suggestion sounds great! I might try it out some day. But, my sister is six, so she's not really interested in the things I'm interested in. But I'll try to find some books she could possibly enjoy too. Thank you for the suggestion!

Not having siblings sounds SO cool. You don't need to share your bathroom, take care of the younger, and such! But also, sometimes, it might feels kinda lonely, doesn't it? Well, you can spend some time at our place during next summer holidays, see what a tornment living with beasts siblings is.
Your parents' jobs are so cool! So, your dad paints magical paintings? That's splendid! My, I've got so many questions! Like, what sort of charms is he using to make them move, and talk, and know things, yet, not grow old?! I think your dad might be using the Sorcerer's Stone to make all that work! Haha...
And your mum, whoa, she must be so brave and so intelligent, knowing how to operate people!
Whoa, I'd love to meet them one day.

So, need to go now, get ready for breakfast and then school. I'd love us to exchange more letters too, I'm having fun writing to you! And yes, we are definitely quill pals now!

P.S. I don't yet! But I wanna get a pet very, very soon! How about you?

P.P.S. The wildflowers didn't help AT ALL. I had to ask dad to send me an air-freshening spray. Fortunately, the smell faded soon and it's good! Well, for now, at least...

See you soon,

Luce

Dear Bea,

I'm glad to hear that you're fine!

Whoa, your dream... that's so cool! Lol, it would be fun if you were a seer. It would be possible that you find real treasure at the place that you dreamed about, haha. Take me with you, if you find out it's real!
Anyway, don't give up on the thought that the treasure might really exist, I mean... this is magical world, it certainly could, right? What if one of your ancestors, who was a pirate, sent you a dream of their hidden treasure? I mean, it's unlikely, but still! Even if it didn't exist, I'd SO love to go, explore an island with you, if you'll have me!

Whoa, a map... cool! At least, we'll have something to base our search on. Of course I'd love to see it! You have to show me when we meet, if it's finished by then, of course.

Haha, a howler! That would be hilarious, would love to see it (just kidding here, I swear... or am I? Haha!)! I got one too, from my grandma once. Because I destroyed her herbs flowerbeds when we were at her place in New York, haha. But, hey! It wasn't totally my fault! We were playing catch with Les and I just... didn't have anywhere else to run to!
To answer your question, yeah, sorry with a heart could do! It doesn't have to be a long letter, adults usually don't have time to read them, ya know, they're just busy... By the way, you can also add that you love him and mum very much, that always works with my parents. In the P.S. though, don't forget to ask him for some money, haha. :'D

I don't know, maybe we should make a letter-writing session once a month, for those who are interested, to answer our parents' letters. It could take place at the weekend, outside perhaps (as long as the weather's still nice, then we'd move inside) and would last... hm, an hour at most! That's quite enough, haha. What do you think about it?

Yes, yes, yes! I'd absolutely love that! We haven't got any paintings at home, so yours will be the only one! I have to think of a place to put it, so that everyone can see it!
When do we do it then? They say on the Daily Prophet, that it will rain this weekend, so it's likely to be cloudy and we won't see the sunset. But whenever it doesn't rain, we'll go!

We do, actually. I miss dad a lot, and mum too. But there's Lore and all of you, my amazing friends here, in the castle, so it's not that bad at all!
As I said, you can enjoy my siblings when you're at our place. Leslie - that's my sister's name - will love ya, especially if ya can make pancakes and waffles, lol. She loves them!
Irritated... ha! Better to ask if there has been a day in my life when I hadn't irritated my siblings, haha. Once, I pranked my brother, putting a lizard (which he's afraid of) into the drawer in his chest-of-drawers. If you saw his face when he found it in his underwear, you'd end up rolling on the floor laughing, just like I did! :' D I mean, he paid me back soon, changing my shampoo for liquid glue, but... it wasn't that bad (mom seemed she'd kill us both or get a heart attack that day, haha). And that's what we're like. Pranking each other, arguing, calling each other names, beating each other even, but... I don't know, it just... at the end of the day, we've got each other's back, I think?

Your friend sounds cool! So, she's not a witch, is she? Well, perhaps, you could send a letter for her to your parents and they could pass it to her? Let me know how it went, if you choose to try! ; )

Whoa, Quidditch and Racing are both so cool! I'll root for ya too, whenever I can! Just listen to your heart, that's always the right way to do it. ; ) Oh, and also, I chose to join the Golden Explorers Club and the S.P.E.W. - Society for the protection of elvish welfare, or something like that. If you're interested, you can join some club too! There are so many, have you noticed? It could be fun!

Your parents are amazing! I mean, your dad? Whoa! So, you take after him with your painting! I can't wait for you to learn all those moving spells! You'll be a real professional, when you do. Would you like to have your own painting shop in the future? Or do you wanna do something totally different, and keep painting as a hobby?
I'm a half-blood too! It's the best - we get the best of both worlds, haha. Speaking of blood, have you met anyone who says that purebloods are the best? I've heard there are some of those in Slytherin. But haven't met any yet, I think...

My mum is a wizarding Meteorologist. It's really cool, she can say what the weather is about to be during the whole day, upon just looking out of the window in the morning. Her predictions have actually saved me from so much trouble while not having an umbrella on me when it's raining. She's actually very precise, haha! She works for the Ministry of Magic, mostly. I don't know what exactly she does for them though. Bet they're not that interested in what the weather's gonna be, when they spend all days inside.

My dad is a Muggle. He's a chief engineer in a company that produces cars and exports them to almost all countries in the world. It's called MG and my dad supervises the construction of the engines. He's actually pretty cool! He was once asked to design a brand new engine for a new car model.

Well, this letter is already much longer than I wanted it to be... eh. I'd better go, before I bore ya to death!

Hugs and kisses,

Luce
