We Regret to Inform You You're Older
Location: Windsor, Berkshire, England
Dated: 4 July 2026.Sender: Cassius Hirano
Recipient: @Ara Villa
Description:
[Rather indicative of Cassius’ love of cute letter sets and lack of individuals to send them to, the thank-you letter received back is contained in a cream envelope with orange trim and patterns. The paper, not parchment, is similarly printed with little teddy bears, of which Cassius has drawn little stars around them.
Lacking enough information to fill out a full Muggle-style address line on the front, he's written out “To: Ara Villa, From: Cassius Hirano :)” in black fountain ink. The whole envelope, slightly crumpled from the owl’s claws, is closed with a round yellow sticker.
The response is prompt, but very neatly written.]
Reducio
Dear Ara,
Thank you so much!! It really means a lot that you've taken the time to write to me, and, for a first birthday letter, I think that you've done rather well. Though I wonder if I'd given the impression otherwise, I wouldn't dream of making fun of you when you've been so nice this entire year.
It's been an honour being captain alongside you. Though we haven't spoken much, this year has nonetheless been super fun and interesting, and part of that has been because of the duel team. I've really learned a lot with the Vipers, and, wherever we stand, on the piste or off it, you’ve been a great inspiration in leading us. I didn't know the first thing about duelling, but the learning curve isn't terrible with so much support.
Either way, thank you again, not just for your letter but for all of your help this year, direct and indirect. I'm wishing you a good summer, and even greater successes for when we get back into the school year!!
Best,

P.S. You don’t have to respond now, but when is your birthday? Also, I’m a little curious on you’ve figured out mine, or where to send to…?
P.S.S. Your owl is very cute!
