Letters to Familia
Date: September 9th, 2023
Dear Uncle Halvard & Aunt Damaris,
So, I finally finished a week at this school and decided to send you both a letter. It's really fun here! There's all types of people from all over the place, both students and professors alike. I feel like I can learn about different cultures here as well, which I know you'd like, uncle. I was expecting there to be mostly people born in Europe, but I met a few from South America and even some from Japan and the Koreas!
My parents probably told you already, since I sent them a letter soon after, but I got sorted into Slytherin. I know they're happy for me regardless but I know they're also concerned because of what happened to Karesinda and her friends Adrienne and Aries. But I'm not dumb, or heartless. I'm just not going to let anyone walk all over me here.
Some first years, especially the ones who came from muggle families, had that happen to them. Even the strong ones can feel pressured because they seem so different. But I think that they're the same, and even extra special because they can use magic and their parents can't. It's not like there's anything wrong with them.
I haven't made a lot of friends here yet, mostly because I've been focusing on getting things right where I'm supposed to go and the best ways to study to get good grades, so I can get points for my house, and other cool things.
Speaking of my house, being in Slytherin is nice, except for the fact that we have to live in the dungeons. Even to me it's a little creepy, but it's definitely bearable. Sometimes other students talk about things they've seen down there, or at least heard. But not many investigate, or come back to tell the tale...just kidding! That actually makes me wonder how many people have disappeared within the castle.
I'm gonna share what I think being a Slytherin means now, and then share what I think it means again at the end of the school year. I'm still going to send letters in between that, of course, but just letting you know.
Being a Slytherin means doing what has to be done, no matter what you have to do.
I think that sounds dire but from what I've seen, but especially what I think, this makes sense.
Well, I trust that you both are doing very well, and I will see you in person during the holidays, which is not too far if you think about it, just three months! If I decide not to stay, that is. Say hi to Vagor for me!

Can you tell J to talk to me??? I don't know what I did but now he ignoring me now, it's annoying. Like, who wants to be calling for someone and they OBVIOUSLY hear me and just ignore me? And in the hallways, too! Because we look just alike, I'd think. Sometimes this happens when it's just like three people in the hallway.
Anyways, how's being a fifthy like? When I'm there I wonder what I'm gonna be like. I want to learn really cool things. I want to take really challenging classes! Maybe one day I can be Head Girl! But I'm not sure, I don't know if I want to watch people all the time like a police.
I have to go finish my transfiguration's homework.
I can't believe it, though!

Dear Mom (Anevay T. Bardhyll),
CAN YOU SEND ME ANY BOOKS THAT HELP WITH FLYING AND TRANSFIGURATION??! These classes aren't hard with studying, it's the movements I have to master. I haven't been able to lift off any broom, nor change any object into something else. Luckily with classes it just I don't do the thing at all, instead of changing things into something it's not supposed to be.
Someone said that I will get better over time, it's only my first month. I know it. I just want to see what other things I can learn.
Don't send too many books though! No more than five! I don't want to clutter my space. Though books might be good to block people from being able to see me while I sleep. There's this one weird girl in my dorm who would watch me with one eye, even though both of her eyes work. Someone told me that she's asleep but I'm not sure.
Take care, I love you mommi,
Brynna
