Old Life
"Dear Maw,
I hope you're all doing okay. I know it's been hard since I left, but at least the wee ones are more manageable with me gone. I know I started a lot of chaos.
Anyway, I wanted to tell you that it's been wonderful here. People are nice, I got sorted into my house, and the forms are lovely, just like you said they'd be.
I know Mama doesn't quite understand, but I'm glad she's supportive. Tell her I love her and miss her. Give everyone a hug and kiss for me.
Oh, I forgot. My house is Slytherin. I know you were hoping for Ravenclaw, like you, or Gryffindor, like Sam, but I'm happy where I am. It's not at all like the rumors said it would be. In fact, most everyone is a real sweetheart just pretending to be a hardass. Reminds me of a certain witch..
I love you much, and I'll see you soon.
Your best girl,
Spencer"
Spencer read the letter one last time before putting it away and sealing the envelope. She gave it to the owl, along with a treat, and sent it on its way.
'I am so screwed. Maw's gonna be devastated.'
She sat outside for a moment, pondering the situation.
'Mama will talk some sense into her, and she'll never be able to resist Laila when she tells her she wants to be a Slytherin, too. That girl. She'll cause us a lot of trouble someday, the little hellion. I miss her.'
Spencer remember what she was doing, and that she was going to be late for dinner.
"SHITE" she yelled, and hurried her way to the Great hall. Before she could get there, she tripped and fell flat on her face.
'Ow.'
She could feel something snap on impact. She hopes desperately that the something wasn't-
"Shite! My glasses!"
She grabbed the broken frames and went to sit in a corner out of the way so she could figure out what to do.
'God, I hope nobody else saw that.'

Life is short, darling. Reach for the stars before they burn out.
