Dear Livi,

Buzzing that you're buzzing! That school honestly sounds like a proper mad fairytale, and I reckon I’d trade half my wardrobe just to see it in real life. Thinking I might get you a camera for Christmas so I don’t have to experience Hogwarts just through your letters. I’ve got absolutely no clue what being a Ravenclaw actually means, but as long as it’s not whatever Mum was, it sounds perfect to me.

When’s your first class, by the way? If you end up studying any weird plants in whatever your version of Biology is, you’ve gotta send me one. Are there, like, magical man-eating plants or something? I asked Mum, but she said she was never really into Herbology and just left it at that – you know what she’s like.

Things at home are bonkers as usual. Thank god school’s started again – I couldn’t handle being stuck at home every bloody hour anymore. Mum’s writing like a lunatic – some bloke found that short story she did ages ago, the one about the boy with the magic board game, and now he wants her to turn it into a full-on novel. Do you think this might finally be her big break? Dad doesn’t. They had a proper shouting match over it. He stormed off back to the hospital, and I honestly thought for a second Mum was gonna turn him into a frog or something. Is that even a thing? Could you maybe turn both of them into frogs so I can finally get some peace?

Anyway – hope you have loads of fun in class, meet some ancient old blokes with long beards, and get as much magic crammed into your brain as wizardly possible!
Your favourite brother,
Billy
P.S. Loads of love from Mum and Dad

Olivia rolled her eyes in loving exasperation as she stuffed the letter into her bag. With a smile on her lips, she gave the owl a treat and skipped down the steps of the owlery.
