A Sibling Reunion
June 15TH
Dear Opeila,
How are you? I haven't heard from you in a while, hopefully the rest of your year has been less eventful than what you told us about at Christmas.
The reason I am owling you is that we will have a visitor in the manor this summer and figured that you would like to know. Not sure how long they are staying, apparently they are an old acquaintance of my parents'. They probably won't bother you at all.
Other than that we have again received an invitation to an event, so the two of us will be working on brushing up what I have taught you last year. I can almost see you pull a face right now, don't worry, it'll be fun!
On a different note, not sure if this is gonna make you as happy as it did last year, but we get to spend another week alone in Diagon Alley! If anything I thought that you'd at least prefer that over being trapped in the manor. I will be picking you up in London again.
See you soon,

A Sibling Reunion
June 17TH
Dear Lysander,
I am quite well, thank you, the rest of the year has indeed been less of a chaos than the first half. I have to admit that I was rather surprised to receive your owl- I have given him some water by the way, the poor thing was absolutely exhausted- but you are right, I do appreciate the head's up. That visitor sounds rather mysterious, don't they? Do you know anything about them?
I see you are feeling funny. What kind of event are we going to visit? Will your mother make me go through a bunch of uncomfortable dresses again? Am I at least still too young for high heels?
That's great news! Diagon Alley will be way more fun than the manor, thank you for organizing that! Are you going to come to summer camp too this year? Or- are you even allowed to? Is this your last chance?
See you soon,

A Sibling Reunion
June 19TH
Dear Opeila,
That is great to hear! Glad you are fine, Durmstrang hasn't been too eventful either, except for studying, studying and more studying. You will see what I mean when you reach your last year. I think my exams have been going well so far though!
Sorry, my parents haven't told me much about this visitor and I think they also wouldn't approve of me telling you about them at all. I guess we will see who they are when we get back home! Thanks for taking care of the owl by the way, pretty sure he hates me now, after having to go all this way twice.
Another pureblood event I suppose. I think someone is being introduced? We should ask my parents, I'm sure they will tell us more when we are back, they like to make me curious about things before I return. Regarding your clothes- Not my fight and I won't make it mine either. You will have to discuss it with mother, I am afraid.
I believe I would be allowed to go to summer camp but I have decided not to go, sorry. A few friends of mine and I have decided to use the summer to look for possible future jobs to do, so I am going to be busy. I'm sure that you will have a great time nonetheless though!
Do me a favor and just keep the owl, don't send him away with a letter again. He can stay and come back when he likes, he has been flying across countries three times now.
See you soon,
