6th December 2025.
The parchment is something pristine – the freshest, whitest stationery that a twelve-year-old girl could have acquired. It's thick, the type that makes popping noises when you bend it, and gold leaf designs litter the edges. Only the finest for little Julenka, who certainly awaited every posted letter from his adoring sister with jubilation.
Livia penned the letter in her finest script, pausing between sentences to ensure no error had been produced. By the time she finished writing, her hand cramped immensely. She has to set the quill aside and stretch before she will be able to seal the parchment and send it on its way to Ewell.
She flexes her fingers and stares with greedy green eyes at the words before her. With any luck, her parents will not snoop; the words, of course, are meant for Julenka's eyes alone.
Моё дорогое солнышко:
How I have missed you dearly. I do not think the word 'miss' even begins to encapsulate the tenderness that troubles my soul whenever I happen upon a lovely little thing that brings your countenance to my mind's eye. You, my dearest little brother, Julian, Jules, Julenka.
I do not write as often as I ought to. There is a difficulty in knowing what to say – but you know this about me already, my beloved sunshine. Do not be dismayed, though. I think of you daily, hourly. When the sun peeks between the feathery Scottish clouds, when the smell of freshly-baked bread accosts my senses, when I observe a fresh bloom of Morning Glory, all I can think of is you. You are what lurks between the pages of my life. Should I shine a light, you will appear like invisible ink.
You will be pleased to hear I have passed my time with our beloved Evpraksyushka. I anticipate she, too, would be much contented by your arrival here – it is only a few more years before you shall join our ranks. Selfishly, I must admit that the predilected house for you ought to be Slytherin, if only so you can spend all your time alongside us. Any negative emotions will simply dissipate when we are together again.
Given that, I will be candid with you. I expect to hear everything you have done during the past months. Should something horrible have occurred, you must apprise me – be aware, of course, that I have only your utmost interests so dear to my heart. I wish you only the most lovely of happenings and friends. Please know that I shall ecstatically number the days until I see you again.
I await your most elucidating response!
Devotedly,
Your loving sister,
Livia
