Since Leonard has never heard about the whole Wyatt Starkey and Alec getting into a fight thing it made no sense to even really bring it up. That and Leonard's probably never heard of Wyatt to begin with. |

Dear,
Hey Alec,
You're kidding, Wyatt is staying with you? That sucks. Please don't die over the summer. SOATOP must live on! I just got back from football (soccer)camp and they did all kinds of pranks in the dorms. I'm not sure how many would work well at Hogwarts, but I am definitely bringing supplies next year. I should show you guys what silly string is sometime.
Good luck with Wyatt. Why is he staying anyways? I didn't know your families even knew each other. But then, there's a lot of things about magic families that I guess I don't know. I hope you can still have some fun this summer.

@Alec MasonHey Leo,
So I broke my stupid ankle at football (soccer) camp. The worst part is that I wasn't even playing the sport. I was climbing a bunk bed. I guess even without angry Beaters around I'm still pretty good at getting myself beat up.
I hope your summer has had a better start than mine. So what do magic families do for fun when there's no school? Do you guys go to theme parks too? Because if there are theme parks for magic people, I need to know about them.

Dear,
Dear Alec,
I’m really excited for next year as well. I told my parents last week, and Dad’s practically been hailing me as a prince since then. Mum’s pretty mad, though, but it’s alright. In a few hours, she’ll come knocking on my door with cookies that she won’t admit she didn’t bake and instead bought from the nearest Sainsbury’s.
I’m researching on some new spells for SOATOP, and Glisseo seems good. It turns stairs into slides, but I don’t really know what things we could do with it.
I’m doing pretty well, but what about you? Having any fun over there? Hope you are. But not too much fun, as you said, we need to brainstorm. I’ll be asking Clifton for his ideas as well.
Sincerely, Leonard
@Alec Mason and @Clifton TroublefieldDear Clifton,
Well, I can’t really fault you there. My dad made me go to football camp before, and I sprained my ankle after I tripped. There wasn’t even any rock there or anything. Don’t get yourself too beaten up, though. We need that brain of yours for our next bit of pranking. Speaking of which, do you have ideas for SOATOP?
My summer’s been alright, not too exciting. The most interesting thing that happened was Mum trying to make doughnuts and ending up putting a quarter cup salt instead of sugar. For a baker, you’d think she’d be a bit better. I don’t know about the theme park thing, though. It would be super awesome, for sure, but it would be really dangerous. Can you imagine a rollercoaster ride with a bunch of cardboard goblins and dementors coming at you? Scary.
Hope your summer has a much better middle.
Sincerely, Leonard

Dear,
Hey Leo,
I know it's been a little while sent I sent anything. I'm still getting used to this letter writing stuff. But I did survive football camp. Mostly. I left early, but not really by choice. I think I can explain it better when we come back to school, but basically I guess I have some sort of memory rattling around in my brain that someone really wants? And that someone--plus a few of his cronies--tried to get it from me one night and I so I sort of hopped the fence and ran away from football camp.
Is this normal for kids who learn they have magic?
Other than that, my summer has been fantastic. Because--and I know: que eyeroll--I've been spending it with my girlfriend. We went to a theme park, which is why I asked.
Ha, sorry to hear about the donuts. Bummer. My mom does that all the time when she cooks, only that's just how she cooks. I think she's better at putting outfits together than ingredients. Must be awesome having an actual professional chef for a mom. Does she make pizza?
I'm keeping a notebook of prank ideas. I'll bring it with me to school. Hope your summer has been going well! If you need something to do, my parents are open to friends visiting.
- Cliff
Hey Alec,
You're right. I shouldn't judge people by appearances, especially if they turn out to be Beatles fans. The Beatles are one of my top favorite bands! But jokes aside, I'm glad you've still been able to have a pretty okay summer so far.
Sorry to hear about Cookie. Can I ask why that's its name?
Weird that snakes follow the guy. Can't say I know what kind of snake that is though. I live by the beach so I don't see too many either. Hopefully it's not poisonous.
My summer has been good! Alina came to visit and we went to a water party and a theme park and explored some underground smuggler tunnels in the old Rye towns where I live. I know she yelled at you that time, but I promise she's actually really nice once you get to know her. She wants to be a healer when she grows up. I guess it's kind of the same thing as what you said.
Try not to get bit by any snakes or fall out of any windows. You'll have to tell me about how you guys snuck out sometime.

Dear,
Dear Alec,
Well, we’ll be second years soon enough. It’s not too complicated, from what I’ve read. The hard part will be saying it quietly enough so nobody will notice.
Snakes? Mate, I’ve got to say I’m jealous. You’re a Gryffindor, and yet you’re the one who gets snakes. Actually, you’re pretty lucky your house mascot wasn’t following you. What do you think muggles would think if they saw a boy with a lion chasing him running down the pavement? Scary, that thought is.
Hopefully you didn’t get bitten, by either the lion, snake, or your sister. Trust me, I know how annoying they can be. Never had a tea party with mine, though. They were too busy breaking all of the teapots and cups. Can’t believe you snuck out to a treehouse. Seems Clifton and I have been rotten influences on you.
Don’t keep me waiting! The only creativity I have is during tests and talking back to teachers, and those usually lose me points. And, before I forget, I’m heading to Dublin for August, so my letter might take a little more times.
Sincerely, Leonard
Dear Clifton,
Well, I can’t say. I’m pretty sure my neighbour Ollie did the same thing, except with ballet. When he was asked to do the splits, he asked to go to the bathroom and ended up in the bathroom of his own home. Don’t know if he’s lying, though. He’s only eight. Maybe he’s a wizard as well? It would be right great if he was. Then you two could bond over your horrible camp experiences.
Is it possible to send applause through a letter? Because you are smooth, Clifton. I’ve been meaning to ask, actually, who is your girlfriend? I’ll need to make sure you don’t end up giving our SOATOP secrets to her.
She makes pizza sometimes, and by ‘sometimes’ I mean she looks for healthy alternatives. She’s quite the odd baker. Good thing for me, my dad knows how to make pizza in under twenty minutes. Us Oaksworth boys have our own secrets. Sorry to hear about your mum’s baking. Need me to send some care packages, to save you?
I’m going to Dublin in August with my dad, some sort of business trip, you could call it. Do you know anything about the place? Any Irish friends?

Dear,
Hey Alec,
It's been a minute. Just sending you a letter to make sure you haven't been eaten by snakes. Though, I guess if you had, a letter wouldn't be much help.
I'm also a little bored. Now it's my turn to visit Alina's place but that's still a whole week away and I've already done an inordinate amount of (insert list of immense muggle time wasters I don't feel like explaining.) You should come visit sometime. Then I could show you what YouTube and videogames are.
I really miss Hogwarts. Can't wait to hear more about your summer and get back on track with the pranks.
Hope things are going well,
- Cliff
@Alec MasonHey Leo,
Guess I never did tell you her name. Alina Rosier. She's really cool, but don't worry I won't go blabbing. SOATOP wouldn't be as fun if it wasn't secret.
Ha, thanks for the round of applause. Sometimes I like to think I'm smooth, and then I remember that I met her while jumping off tables and falling over chairs trying to catch pixies with a pillowcase. And that I asked her to the Blossom Ball thing not even two hours before it started. And that I told her it at least sounded more fun than my Herbology homework.
I'd be willing to bet she's the smooth one.
I do know some stuff about Dublin, but nothing helpful. My dad's a historian, so I know all about the Celts and Saint Patrick's Cathedral and Nelson's Pillar. I know a few kids from football camp, though if you want someone to show you around. What does your dad do for work?

Dear,
Dear Alec,
Your strategy for dealing with a lion encounter is interesting, to say the least. I'm not a zoologist, but I'm pretty sure a lion wouldn't stop attacking you just because you had a little painting of them on your shirt. I mean, you probably wouldn't have to worry anyways. I've never seen a lion near my place in England, or anywhere other than a safari on the television, really. I also read somewhere they sleep for twenty-three hours a day, so it's only that one hour you'll have to worry about.
Well, if there were to be an actual snake chasing me, I'd probably run back to my house quick as I could. Wouldn't know where it would come from, though. Dublin isn't quite known for its serpent population. And, you really don't have to send any gummies. If my dad's done anything on his supposed business trip, it's eat everything remotely sweet possible in Ireland.
Earlier this week I met some people from Hogwarts at this bookshop, really nice place. Didn't much like one of them, but the rest were nice enough. You know someone named Zykeal Lane? He's a Gryffindor as well, and he was the one who made the whole thing. He's got a great sense of humour and I think he's in our year, so if we were to make a potential list of SOATOP candidates I'd say he's somewhere on there. Speaking of, we've got to strike again soon. If we're going to get more members, we'll be needing a popularity boost.
I've never heard of you getting in a fight, though that's to be expected. Can't tell whether people are gossiping for boredom or telling the truth in this place, not at all. There was a rumour at my old school about a ghost, and now I'm in a school with multiple ghosts. Anyways, there's nothing to worry about. I'm sure that person did something right awful to make you get in a fight. I've never been in a physical fight, not yet, anyways. Any tips?
(That was a joke, for all purposes. My limbs are sticks, and won't last a second against even the tiniest of toddlers. Hope you're well.)
Sincerely,
Leonard
@Alec Mason and @Clifton TroublefieldDear Clifton,
I've never heard of anyone by the name of Alina before. What house is she in? Might recognise her from that instead. And, yeah, the secret's fun, but hard to keep. I've told my dad just a tiny bit about it, just the fact that if he receives an owl from the school about behaviour problems he shouldn't be surprised. Pretty sure he doesn't believe me, though. Which is fair. The only behaviour problems he's ever been called about were some incidents at the pool during swimming lessons, and that's a story for another time. Preferably never, but since I don't like ink all over my paper while trying to cross something out, I'll tell you when the time comes. Still never, if I can help it.
I'm not going to lie here, your way of asking a girl out is astonishingly bad, but I can't judge. I'd bet that you're both much smoother than me, though. Not that I'm looking for a date. But by the time I'm well out of school I'll probably still need to call my parents on how to ask the waiter for a refill of water, so, yeah. Not smooth at all, I am.
Thanks for the knowledge anyway, about Dublin. It's not a tour, really, but there's loads of cool sights around. I actually saw Nelson's Pillar yesterday, on a walk. And I appreciate the help for football camp, but no number of friends is going to change the fact I'll end up kicking the ball in the wrong goalpost.
My dad's a baker as well, actually. They run a little bakery near my gran's old house. Business is a bit slow these days, with the pandemic and all that, but it's fine. And, are you muggleborn? Just a question, since your parents have pretty normal jobs. Not that mine don't, and I'm a halfblood. Can't determine just from name, as well. I mean, Troublefield? Never heard that one before. Then again, Oaksworth is pretty uncommon as well. Once, a postman thought they'd written the wrong name, with how strange it was. Anyways, how about you tell me more about the trip to the theme park? Would love to hear about your romantic ventures, Mr. More Fun Than Homework.
Sincerely,
Leonard
