First Letter of the Year

April 2nd, 2024 | Free Period

Dear mother, I apologize for writing so late in my school year, I've been focused on my new friends and schoolwork. I've been sorted into Slytherin, the house of ambition and cunning, isn't that ironic mother?

How are my brothers and sisters? Have Nose, Birdie, and Sparky asked about me? How are my butterflies in the mini lepidopterarium in the back yard, have the staff been feeding them properly? I've found a monarch butterfly, she's very beautiful but I doubt father would allow me to bring her to the manor, how is the pregnancy going? I trust there aren't any complications, please do not stress yourself with unnecessary appearances when you should be resting. Aren't you 8 months now? Time flies when you discover magic is real.

We're having a masquerade ball on April 15th, please tell aunt Davina to send me a dress, I won't accept one from anyone other than her. Are you and father still going on a trip to Athens after you have the baby? I still strongly disagree with you going postpartum but I know that I cannot stop you, please owl soon.

Sincerely, Achlys Bellerose
