Hi Chaewon1

I'm sorry if I made you sad, I really didn't mean to. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help, okay? It's okay to be sad, but I'm here if you ever need anyone to talk to.
I do like your new writing, but the old one was just as amazing, and I want you to do whatever you like more! I tried to do something fancy last time, but it was really hard to write like that so I'm back to my normal style.
My mother learned about the wizarding world when she was in her twenties I think. And she took it pretty well. I know some muggles have a hard time learning these things but she was mostly excited from what she's told me.
I'm sorry to hear about everything you've been through, that must have been really hard for you. I can't even imagine what you've gone through.
I drew a picture of me on the front of this letter, so you can know what I look like since we haven't met in person yet, but I hope it will happen soon. And that I was able to cheer you up just a little bit.
You're an amazing friend.

Dear Rory,
Back then, I was really sad, but now I've got my letter to Hogwarts! I'm happy that I didn't ruin my family's tradition of being sorted into Slytherin. I don't think that I fit in other houses, but maybe you have some thoughts? I really like the green colour! It reminds me about nature and how I used to climb the trees back in South Korea...
Your doodles are amazing! They look so realistic and pretty. Maybe muggles taught you how to draw? That's interesting. I think that if I tried to draw a chair, it would look like an elephant. I'm really bad at all those muggle things. Your hair looks really cool! Or did you just improvise, or do you actually have black and white hair? If you're lying to me, I would be really mad.
I thought that muggles don't learn about the magic world. Are they just being nice, or do they want to start a war? Also, if you don't remember what she said, can you please write her a letter asking her about what she exactly learnt? I can't imagine how muggles are learning about our wands!
And if we are talking about my twin, I just want to add that I also have two older brothers! Do you have any siblings?
Me? An amazing friend? I've never imagined that someone would say this to me... Thank you? I will never forget you, my friend.
Hope you're doing well, Chaewon.

Hey Chaewon!

I think you make an amazing Slytherin, you sound super ambitious and like you have a real plan in life and know what you want to do and how to get there. I really admire that, it's super impressive. And I'm glad that you're happy with your house, I wouldn't want you to be in one that you disliked. And I'm so happy that we're in the same house!
I mostly taught myself how to draw. I'm trying to get as good as the people that do the art for the adventure books I read, but it sure is taking a long while. I would like anything you drew even if it was a chair that looked like an elephant, don't worry.
I do have black and white hair! I think it's really cool, but the white is just hair dye really. It would be a whole lot more impressive if it was real. I'm curious about what you look like.
And you're right, muggles don't normally know anything about magic or wizards. But my dad told my mom all about it when he decided he loved her. At least that's what he's told me.
I'm an only child, but I always wanted a brother. It's cool to hear that you have so many siblings.
I really like talking to you, and I'm glad you're doing okay.

Dear Rory,

I'm very happy that someone also thinks that I belong in Slytherin! My family would be really mad at me if I got sorted into another house. I personally don't understand why they care much about sorting. It's all about students' behavior and dreams.
That's cool! But did you watch some... vodeos or videos about drawing? I'm still not sure about those muggle technologies names, but I hope that I will get better! We didn't have many adventure books in our house. All of them were mostly about magic and family traditions. I want to reveal a secret, but do you promise not to tell anyone? I struggle reading. All those letters are different, and it's hard to read them! I try to avoid reading, but I don't think that I will be able to keep the secret during lessons. I can't even read a sentence without making any mispronunciations. It really hurts when people are laughing at me. I write well, but when it comes to reading loudly, I just can't...
Well, dyed hair still looks pretty! I look similar to all Asian girls. Black hair, brown eyes... Only some details are different. I hope that your parents still love each other. It's very lucky to have a great and happy family.
Sometimes siblings are annoying!

Hope you're doing well, Chaewon.

Chaewon,

I've never actually watched any videos about drawing. My parents are pretty strict about media consumption. So really I've been raised closer to how children with two wizarding parents are. Just with a bit of extra information on the side.
And I promise I won't tell anyone that you struggle with reading. That's completely okay, and I can even write in bigger letters if it helps you? Hopefully other people don't judge you for that, although other kids are pretty mean sometimes. That's got to be really hard for you.
I'm sure you look very beautiful, I certainly can't imagine that there's anything average about you. I'm pretty sure you're going to be one of those great people that are in the history books because of the grand adventures they've gone on and all the things they've done.
I hope you're doing well. Classes have been keeping me so so busy, I'm just hoping I get used to the workload soon.
