From a Quill to Something More? PV Quinn Brook, Kaitlyn Connor

You receive the following letter delivered by one of the school owls. It was written on light brown parchment paper. The handwriting is near cursive handwriting with little hearts above each 'I.'
4 February 2024

Dear Quill Pal,

How has Hogwarts been for you so far? I think my experience has been good. I’ve met a bunch of really cool friends despite being shy and awkward. I thought that would be the same with these letters, but I find writing these to be easier than walking up to someone and just talking, in my opinion. Have you been able to make good friends, too?

I’m doing my best to save up my money, and I know how hard that can be. But, I’d really like to adopt a pet. There are just so many pets Magical Menegerine has! And they just seem oh so cute! Cats, owls, pygmy puffs, bunnies, and plenty of others! I have no idea how I’m going to choose! I am a muggle-born, so I also need to choose a pet that I think my parents wouldn’t mind me owning. Right now I’m considering a cat or a bunny. I hope I can make up my mind before going. I have no idea how cute these pets will look, when I first enter! Do you have a pet? If so, what can you tell me about it?

So far, it seems like Hogwarts has a lot going on all the time. Even just now, after we returned from winter break, there’s been the Polar Plunge, and then just now, we are dancing the Fox Trot in pairs. Oooh, I’m so excited! What’s your favorite part of Hogwarts?

I hope you have a good rest of your day! I cannot wait to hear back!

Sincerely,
Your Quill Pal

Dear Quill Pal,
It's nice to hear from you! Your handwriting is so nice! Hogwarts has been really fun so far and I have lot's of friends from different houses. Writing can definetly be easier then just walking up to someone. I'm kind of a social butterfly though... Anyway A pet would be really awsome-I would most likely get an owl. There so magestic! I'm a half-blood so my parents don't really care. Hogwarts has so much to do and the polor plundge was crazy! I hope that I get to play a sport soon. I really like being on a broom but duelling sounds really cool. Do you like flying on broomsticks? I thought that writing a letter might be kinda hard but I hope this isn't too overboard. My other pal that I write to is in Ilvermorny! He lives were I live so I am sad his parents are trying to live through him. I really wish he were here but my friend Valerie from home is aslo here and I love it! I havn't seen her too much becuse she's a slytherin and I'm a ravenclaw. Do you have any friends that you knew before coming here?
Love,
Quinn the Quill (Pal)

Dear Quinn Quill Pal,

It is nice to hear back from you, too! Aww, thank you! It’s taken me years to learn to write this way (and several attempted letters before they’re sent to you). Awesome! I feel the same way in wanting friends in all four houses. It feels almost complete in a sense. Ooh, owls are lovely creatures! There are just so many different types. I feel like it will be hard to choose!

I really would like to learn to fly. I’m just scared at the same time, if that makes any sense. I’d like to concur my fear. I doubt I’d ever be able to play Quidditch, but I’d like to be able to fly around for fun. I’d love to feel the air in my hair! Are you hoping to play on one of the teams? And I think dueling looks so cool! I don’t know how good at it I would be, but it does look interesting.

Oh, don’t worry about going overboard! I have no idea how much to write. I guess whatever flows through? Oh, nice! Having a friend at a foreign school is always nice! I hope you’re learning a lot about America! But, that’s not good about his parents treating him that way. I hope they can sort that out. That’s good that you have Valerie here. The only friends I knew previously were muggles; so, no, none are here. I previously went to a muggle all-girl’s Catholic boarding school, called St. Ann’s, before I came here. Did you previously attend a school or have any form of education before coming to Hogwarts? I do have a twin sister here and a younger brother that will eventually come here. So, I won’t be as lonely in that sense.

Sincerely,
Kaitlyn (Kwill) Quill Pal

PS. I love the alliteration there. I apologize for my cringe version.

Dear Kwill Pal,
I love the "cringe" version! Don't worry, I do know how to spell quill (it's like quinn but instead of an n it's an l). Anyway flying for fun sounds well, fun. I am hoping to play on a quidditch team one day. Do you want me to help you overcome your fear? I can meet you on the quidditch training pitch if you want one day when I am free. My older sister is a little weird, not in the scence of just being weird but her magic situation is weird. You see, she showed signs of magic had her first instance of magic at the age of 12. Anyway my brother should be coming next year! Sorry this letter is kind of short, I am writing this in the great hall before classes. A few questions before I am hopefully not late for class. What do you think about my idea for the flying thing, what is your favorite time do you get up, and what is your favorite class?
Love,

Dear Quill Pal Quinn,

Aw, thank you! Ooh, awesome! Which position would you like? They all sound interesting, in my opinion. W-would you really do that for me? For now, we only know each other through these letters. That does sound exciting, meeting up.

Ah, that does sound a little strange, having her first instance of accidental magic at 12-years-old. I wonder what happens with that. I hope it’s not too confusing. Does your brother want a specific house? They all sound enjoyable in their own rights! I wish I knew more about them before I came here.

Ooh, yes, don’t be late to class just for me. I may not be from Ravenclaw, but I do enjoy attending class.

I don’t want to inconvenience you just for me to have more confidence on a broomstick. I do like the idea, though. We can meet up for it, again if I’m not being a bother. Oooh, I wake up at 6 am on the dot every morning. That’s when I go outside to have a little run around the grounds. Right now with the snow, it does prove difficult at times. I then follow that up with practicing some yoga. When do you wake up in the morning? Ah, my favorite class. I like a lot of them, and there are a bunch I’m not good at. I think I have two favorites. I like Herbology and Potions. Which class (or classes if you’re weird like me) do you like the most?

Love,
Kaitlyn Connor

Dear Kwill Kaitlyn,
I would totaly do that for you-I love helping people especially if it envolves flying. I would be a chaser if I could be on the team! We should totally meet up, maybe in the morning before breakfast? I don't get up at 6:00 though (way to early) I could stand to get up at seven if you wanted to meet on the weekend. I think my little brother wants to be a gryffendor (why I don't know...) anyway he is a little crazy but arn't all little siblings? Herbology is certainly fun! My favorite class is probably potions. I love potions! <3 Just the mixing and adding ingredients exaactly. It's just amazing... Don't mind my fangirling potions, I am a ravenclaw after all! Hey Kaityln, do you have any siblings? I think you said in an earlier letter that you don't but I can't remember. The snow must be really pretty when you go outside. Your in slytherin right? My mum is a ravenclaw like me but her mum was a slytherin. I have a lot of slytherin's and ravenclaws in my family. Is it weird not having anyone else with magic in your family? If that's to personal then you don't have to answer it.

Dear Quinn the Quill,

Aw, thank you so much! <3 I completely agree, a chaser looks to be an exciting position to play! And plenty of hand-eye coordination! I hope you can get on your house’s team, when you do apply for it. Admittedly, I haven’t paid attention to any of that to know how difficult it is to get a position.

Okay, that works for me, as long as I’m not bothering you, too much. I know how busy everyone could be. I just don’t want you to think you have to help me. If that makes sense? Ooh, Gryffindor is a nice choice. I completely agree with your thoughts about potions! I honestly don’t mind if you fangirl about it. Maybe we can fangirl together? What’s your least favorite class? I noticed some of the classes offer internships! I’m very intrigued by the Astronomy one. And, while we cannot do it yet, the healing one sounds awesome too! Do you like any of them?

I do. My twin sister, Abigail is a Hufflepuff. I have a younger brother named Timothy, and he’s magical. He’s two years younger than me, so it will be a bit before he comes. Oh it definitely is, before it gets disturbed by other students. I just don’t like running on the ice. I have fallen before from it.

I am indeed a Slytherin. Ooh, that sounds awesome to have family members centered around specific houses. It helps give you an idea of what to expect, hopefully. I don’t mind answering that question. It was weird when I first came with Abigail. It’s nice to have my twin here at Hogwarts, as I feel slightly less lonely. But, it’s like jumping into the dark, and having no idea what is going on. I admittedly feel lost at times, if that makes any sense.

Love,
Kaitlyn Connor

Dear Kait the Quill (I hope you are ok with that name),
I hope it isn't too hard to get on the quidditch team-I have never played on a real one. In your next letter tell me what weekend you want to hang out-I am pretty free! Your no bother at all! I am not really into healing but the astronomy one sounds amazing! Honestly astronomy is my 2nd favorite subject. Personally, my least favorite class is history of magic (don't tell it or the proffesor though!). By the way-forget anything I said about it being weird having nobody in your family with magic- aparently it is running well in the kids! Well, kids will be kids about the ice! I like ice skating personally, do you ice skate? Maybe your little brother will know my little brother, they could be world class troblemakers together! Haha-don't listen to my rambling, it just goes on. I wish I had a twin-my friend from home, Valerie, came to hogwarts but we are in different houses and we have different scheduels so I haven't seen her lately. Hopefully soon we can meet up and talk! Honestly-I hear ya- this school is always trying to trick me! What is your least favorite class? I'm betting it isn't astronomy! Do you think that it is weird not using muggle technology? My mum almost had to magicly seperate me and my phone! I had just gotten it and then she was like "oh yeah-sorry I forgot to mention you can only use it for like two weeks every year." Ok. So I'm exagerating. But anyway I'm over it now (not really but there is nothing I can do... *sighs* ) Kaitlyn-what is your favorite color? Mine is green! Or purple! Or some other color-maybe blue for ravenclaw? I hope you enjoy reading my silly letters because that is just who I am!
Love,

Dear Quinn Pal,

I am perfectly fine with that name! You sound very motivated, I hope it goes well for you! Honestly, I’m free at any time. Would next weekend (February 10 or February 11) work for you? I should probably warn you in advance that I am shy. I hope that won’t be an issue?

I know, it’s such a nice class. I have some star charts hanging in my dorm room! Trust me, your secret is safe with me. I won’t say anything. History of Magic can get dull.

I’m actually pretty new to ice skating. I’d like to learn to do more advanced ice skating, but probably when there aren’t many, if any, other students around. I’d hate to hit into anyone. I already forget if I mentioned it before, but I like to dance. I’d love to pirouette on the ice!

I’m not too sure if Timothy, my younger brother, would. He’s at an all-boys Catholic muggle school in London. Once my family was told about magic, that was the first we heard of it. He has already shone his first use of magic.

My least favorite class is Transfiguration. I find it hard to picture trying to transfigure animals. Oh, I think it is completely weird to not use muggle technology. I’ve had to learn how to do things again, without a phone in my pocket that could do everything for me.

I think I’m biased, but I like green. Especially a pastel color like mint green. I think it goes well with my complexion. But, I love most colors, anyway. *giggles* I do enjoy reading your letters. They’re fun and make me think, which is the most enjoyable part, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing your silliness.

Love,
Kaitlyn Connor

Dear Kait with a Kwill,
I hope it goes well for me too! That weekend sounds great! Make sure you bring a broom! I bet I am more shy then you. My mum calls me a social butterfly but... Anyway I wish I had star charts in my room! My bed is kinda bare but it has a few things over it! Can it ever! HOM can be intersting though most of the time it isn't. My older sister taught me how to skate so I know a little bit. I haven't skated in a while though so I am a little rusty. I love dancing too! I irish dance but I used to ballroom dance. Doing fancy jumps on the ice sounds really cool! Interesting. Timothy sounds cool, but Sean is probably more of a trouble maker especially if Timothy goes to an all catholic school! I kinda like transfiguration but it's fine if you don't like it! <3 I hear you, this summer I need to not be obsessed with my phone! Green is pretty, most colors are pretty. :rainbow: Thanks! Your letters are great! They make me laugh sometimes. Don't worry about it, I love it. How long do you want to fly for? We can always do something afterword, like just hanging out. I hope that you don't mind me yawning because I probably will! (If you havn't already noticed I am not really a morning person.) My Mum was really happy when I got my first instance of magic because she thougtht I might not get it. My dad said he would miss me in his plays. He's a muggle so he doesn't really understand magic. He tries though. We send each other letters a lot because it helps me not miss them.
Love,
