Jessicah was in the library with her latest gift from mum. How on earth the owls carried a brand new typewriter all the way to Hogwarts, she may never know. She was so so so excited to start writing! She had so many ideas and since she had gotten to Hogwarts, she hadn’t had a moment to start writing! And this typewriter was no ordinary typewriter. This was a Smith Carona electric typewriter with corrective ink and all the bells and whistles (figuratively speaking of course, the librarian would never let her in if she had any bells and or whistles on her lol).

Jessicah needed something to break in the new typewriter. She knew just the thing.

”Dearest Ada,

How’s America? Is everything really bigger there? How’s Ilvermorny? What house did you get? I got Gryffindor believe it or not. I haven’t even had the guts to tell mum and dad yet. I bet the whole clan thinks I’m a Slytherin just like them.

I wish you were here. I haven’t made any real friends yet. There aren’t any other lesbians here as far as I know. No other girls are specifically lady lovers, ya know? I’ve also been picked on by some of the older kids. Somehow they found out that I wasn’t born a girl.

But enough of all my doom and gloom, how about you? Made any new friends? Met any nice he’s she’s or they’d yet? I want to hear about all your adventures in America!

I miss you so much.

Write be back soon, ok?

Sincerely and with all my love,

Jessicah Armstrong.

P.S. no matter what the sorting hat says, in my heart, you’ll always be my pet Hufflepuff, if I’m still your Slytherin.”


Jessicah removed the letter from the glorious machine. She folded it into an envelope, sealed it with a kiss (and wax), let it dry, and put it in her robe pocket.

Ada was Jessicah’s best friend. Ada was actually the first person Jessicah came out to. Ada and her did everything together. That is, until the beginning of the summer. Ada’s dad had gotten a job working as a Ministry ambassador of sorts to the Magical Congress. And since her family lived in America now, they wanted Ada to go to Ilvermorny.

Jessicah couldn’t spend her time on tears though, she had work to do.

Jessicah put her parchment in the typewriter, checked to make sure no one was watching, and her fingers started flying across the keys. Jessicah may not have been sorted into Slytherin, but she was still ambitious. She was going to create the first ever Hogwarts secret society, even if it killed her!

She had gotten half way through the first draft of the society/clan/club’s laws when she heard footsteps approaching and she froze.

Sincerely and with all my love,

Jessicah Armstrong.
