Today was a special day. One he had been counting down for a while. A celebration of sorts, Just not the one that others where doing. Alex woke up with a soft smile on his face, the smile slowly disappeared though, as he saw there were no posters up, the walls seamed to not stop. And there where curtains around his bed. He was not at home, snuggled up in his childish bed sheets. He was at school. With not one smell of Dad's messy breakfast sandwiches. He was at Hogwarts, in Scotland. Far away from his home.
Alex had managed to not be homesick much, with all of the letters that him and his parents had been sending to each other. Today was when it really hit him though, he did not have his parents there with him. Alex somewhat sluggishly got up and out of bed. Giving Chance some pets, at least he had him as company. Not long after he put on his robes. He knew today was Valentine's day, so there were going to be lots and lots of people up in the halls. Kissing, laughing, giving flowers. It did not help with his mood a whole lot, made him feel even more lonely.
Not wanting to be around all the love, he went out to the great lake. It wasn't time for breakfast just yet, and he wanted to write a letter to his parents, it was his birthday after all. So he thought he had a good reason to. Even though he was waiting for a reply already. He walked out to the lake, the light snowfall had made the ground cold, slightly wet. but he didn't mind. Alex sat down in the grass.
Before he did anything else he just looked out to the lake, it was really pretty this time of hour. The lake had this kind of messy fog over it, obscuring most of his view. He grabbed out his quills and ink, and a decently long parchment paper. He had a lot to say. Alex didn't know how exactly to start the letter, after a while though he landed on, Wish I was with you... Letter is bellow

Dear Mom and Dad,
I wish I was with you. I know I just sent an owl last week, and you haven't responded. Im just really feeling homesick right now. At least, I think thats what this is.. Im just.. Missing you? I dont know what to think, I haven't felt this way all year, just today. At the time of writing, it's my birthday. So that might have something to do with it.
I really, really want one of Dad's breackfast sandwitches. When I didnt wake up to the smell of em', I was pretty sad. Do you think you could send me one? Kidding. Mostly. I havent done much today, nothing but wake up and write this letter.
I dont see my classes being easy today. Im not sure how well ill be able to focus, but I can try. Im not falling anything..
As much more I have to say, I think breakfast will be starting soon. So I have to go now, write back soon.
- Love Alexander.
Alex finished off the letter, feeling even sadder. He put away his supplies, holding out the letter, so that the ink would not smudge. He wanted to send it out before he ate, just so that he could eat and not worry that anyone is reading what he wrote. As I twas quite personal to him. He walked into the school, avoiding everyone. And everything. It thankfully did not take long for him to get to the owlery, The ink was dry enough. Alex rolled up the letter and gave it to a cute looking barn owl. "Take this to my parents please. There in London, be carful with it." He gave the owl a treat, and the address. Subsequently he took the owl to the ledge, and sent him off.
The owl took flight off towards the horizon, taking Alex's letter with him. He sighed, and walked to the door of the owlery, not bothering to watch the owl until it was a tiny dot. He needed food, something that would distract him from thinking right now.
It took way longer then it would normally take him to go anywhere. The couples, giving and receiving chocolate and flowers. He mostly just tried to get around them. It felt like a maze, eventually Alex did find a way into the great hall, Taking a seat at the Gryffindor table. He had a simple bowl of fruit, and some apple juice. He was on his second serving when he got the package. He recognized the handwriting as his parents, he thought it was a reply to his letter. Opening up the letter though he was wrong. It was sent about two-ish days ago. Or at least it was written then. The package was a small gift, the letter said it was the only one that could be sent by owl.
When it was opened up Alex found a silver necklace, with some hearts on it. On the back or front of them, depending on how you looked. It said twelve. Seeing as that was how old he was. Needless to say it greatly improved his mood, he put on the necklace immediately. So just maybe he could have a great day.
