Letters to Family and Friends Solo Finished

September 11th 2020

Dear Haley,

We're so pleased you're enjoying Hogwarts so much. Gryffindor! That sounds great, we are sure that you will be in perfect hands there! We hope you continue to settle in quickly and make great friends at Hogwarts!

At first it was really unusual without you at home, but we have got used to it in the meantime and are looking forward to welcoming you home again at Christmas. Study hard, don't get into mischief and take care of yourself.

Kisses,

Mom and Dad

Nana,

I hope you are well! Hogwarts is wonderful and I love it here. After such a short time, I can truly say that I feel at home here. I'm sure my parents have already told you but again for you, I am now officially a proud and brave Gryffindor! The hat had decided between Slytherin and Gryffindor and I'm sure it made the right choice.

At first I was a bit sad that I didn't end up in Slytherin but now I'm really glad. I haven't met many yet but all the encounters I had with a Slytherin were terrible. You'd think they hadn't been brought up at all. They are rude, mean and stubborn.

Anyway, why am I writing to you...I don't want to go on living in ignorance and I want to know more about our family history and who better to help me than you? I know something must have happened, you can't fool me and I already know a little from mum but every time I bring up the subject I get blocked.

Please tell me about our family. Who are we? What blood flows in my veins? Did everyone go to Hogwarts? If so, in which houses? And why did you and Mum part ways?

I look forward to your answer and send my love.

My dear Haley,

I am glad that you have settled in so well at Hogwarts and that you are happy that you ended up in Gryffindor after all. But let me assure you that not all Slytherins are as terrible as the ones you have met so far.

I sent you some cookies with this letter, I hope you like them, but I'd like to respond to your letter to me as well.I'm afraid you won't read what you hoped for, but it's not my responsibility to answer these questions, as much as I would like to.

I know that you would like to know more about your family history, which I think is the right thing to do, but the answers you are looking for you have to look for in your parents, especially in your mother.

Let me tell you that me and your grandfather and the rest of the family have made many mistakes in the past, which is also the reason for this long distance, but we regret this time very much and are very happy to have you as part of our family again.

I hope you are not disappointed with my letter and that I will read from you again soon.

With love,

Cecilia Rose

Hey Ian,

how are you and your brothers? How's school? What's new?

I know it's been far too long since I've contacted you, but I've had so much on my plate. It's all so new and I've had to settle in and deal with all the homework. But I've settled in well at Hogwarts by now and have already been able to make a few friends. There are so many new impressions and there is so much to discover at Hogwarts. The castle is beautiful and I wish you could visit me here. And the lessons. I know it sounds strange but it is so exciting to learn all this things and do magic.

I hope to read from you soon.

Hello dear,

Please be prepared that we will not stay in London, after your arrival we will travel directly to Emilia. Unfortunately, we will not visit your grandmother as agreed, but you will still be able to see her.

Love,
Mum and Dad

Hey Ian,

I hope you are well and don't keep up this nonsense. I'm still so terribly sorry that all this happened to you. It's all my fault. Every time an owl comes, I'm afraid that something has happened again. And even though I've already told you, again I specifically ask you never to talk about this subject again. Whether it is between us or not. The subject is history and I ask you to accept that.

There is a lot going on here at Hogwarts right now. School stuff, studying, homework. There is a Valentine's Day Tea being held and I actually signed up for it, you could even specify a crush. I'm excited to see what the staff come up with but I'm sure it will be great.

Please give my love to your brothers. I miss you guys!

Love,

Hey Hales,

Don't worry, I'm fine. If you had to worry about someone, it would be Tom. I'll get to him one of these days, and he's got it a lot worse than I have. But let's not talk about that. I, or rather we, respect your decision, but I still don't think it's the right one. Haley, none of this is your fault and just because of my behaviour you shouldn't suppress this talent. That's my opinion and I won't say anything else about it, I promise.

Please don't blame yourself for this! It's not your fault, please don't forget that!

We have a lot going on too although I can't say I'm studying much for school at the moment. Valentine's Day Tea, interesting but aren't you a bit young for that? A crush? Did you put something down? Haley Rose, anything else you wanna tell me? Oh please don't tell me you're already starting to get interested in boys, then I'll have to start more fights. But what did I expect...you are not a baby anymore and you have always been more mature for your age than the others.

Many greetings back from the morons, we miss you too!

Ian

Hello you idiot,

you're certainly not going to drive a boy away just because you need to live out some complex of yours! I can take care of myself just fine and don't need a protector. And yes, I have a crush - is that a problem for you!? But as you've already realised yourself, I'm not a baby anymore!

Well, let's leave that subject too. I know I shouldn't blame myself for it, but I do anyway. I didn't want to talk about it anymore, but I don't know what to do. I can't sleep any more and when I do I have nightmares. The dark circles under my eyes are getting bigger and bigger and I'm not hungry anymore. Ian, I'm in a really bad way. I don't want any sympathy from you but I just had to get it off my chest.

With love,

My dear Hales,

It hurts me to read that you are so unwell. I would like to be able to do something to make you feel better. You know that if I had the chance, I would be with you immediately. Please try not to let yourself down so much and keep your positive attitude. I know that's easy to say but please promise me that you will try.

Haley, you can't let something like this get you down. I know you're strong. You can do this.
I'm excited to meet this crush someday. But is he really worth it if he's not looking out for you during this rough patch? And I'm assuming he's not, given the way you're going. Just something to think about.

I send you lots of strength, don't hang your head!

Ian
