"Are you always this forward?" He asked teasingly since it would be a very short thread if he just ignored her entirely. — Tobin Cartwright in Take A Peek
Did you know? Churchgoers and worshippers had to endure a foul stench during prayers due to the amount of bodies often stored within the vaults of churches and chapels.
It has been a while since I have heard from you, sister. I have much to discuss with you and I am sure the same can be said on your end! You are about to join me at the castle and I can only hope that you are sorted into Hufflepuff so we can spend even more time together!
I think I'll tell you first about the past few days. Do you remember that boy I told you about? The one who seemingly doesn't notice me in the corridors? Well, he hasn't done anything yet, but I have been keeping a close watch on his actions. Sooner or later he will come around and see me for who I am, but until then I will remain hopeful.
Hello, Sister! I'm sorry I haven't written lately. I do have much to say! This older lady- I think she was one of the healers at St. Mungo's - thought I hexed her! What hex makes people sing? And what is the difference between a hex, spell, and a curse? Are they the same thing because they're all magic?
I don't know if i'm excited to come to Hogwarts. I'm excited to spend more time with my older sisters... but you'll all be to busy taking care of yourselves. I doubt you'll all have time to worry about what your younger sister is up to. I think I may be in Hufflepuff, like you. I don't think any other house would fit me....
I bet he'll fall for you before you graduate next year!
She sounds absolutely crazy, sister! I would stay away from her if I were you - maybe mother can help you find out if she is a bad person or not. If you don't even know the differences between a hex and a curse then you surely had no part in her predicament. A hex is usually similar to a curse but somewhat lesser. There are so many varieties and classifications of each that it makes my head spin.
Hogwarts has so much to offer you, sister, and we will surely make time to walk the halls with you! These things are trivial anyways as you will definitely make some friends and won't even worry about what we are up to - you might even think hanging out with us is annoying after a while.
Maybe, if you're as lucky as I am, you may find a boy whom catches your eye and makes you feel as if you are floating on clouds. It sure would occupy your time and provide you with a renewed sense of passion for life. I do apologize if I sound like one of those poets, but what I say is true, believe me!
Mama's busy working and raising Ammie; I don't want to ask her to help me figure out if someone is bad or not... Shouldn't I be old enough to figure it out? Fall's going to bring a lot of changes and... I don't think I should rely on Mama for help (letters take to long to write and send! It'd be much easier if we had a faster way of communicating).
I doubt I'll ever get tired of my siblings being around me at Hogwarts. I miss being surrounded by siblings older than I am! Ammie is so boring! She doesn't like playing games and is always attached to Mama whenever Mama is home! Are all three year olds boring? I've always worried about my siblings. I'll probably worry about Ammie and Topaz once I'm at Hogwarts!
Making friends has always been hard for me. If someone catches my eye I'll probably be to scared to do anything about it. At least, if I hadn't found confidence.
I also met another older lady at the Pancake Day Fund Raiser thing. She didn't seem as scary as the other one. She actually got down to my height so we could talk without me looking up at her! She offered me some Pancakes but I told her I'd already eaten. We talked for a little while before Mama found me. She looked really panicked. I told her I was fine but... she didn't let me leave her side for the rest of the time we spent at the event!
You are never too old to ask Mama for help! That is why she is there after all, to give us advice and to make sure we are doing well in our lives. It would only make sense for you to ask her since she has the most experience out of all of us. You would be silly to think otherwise, sister!
I do have to say though, despite the fact that you like to be around your sisters, your dorm mates will act as rightful replacements and will hopefully act is makeshift siblings - mine did, at least! Depending on who you are sharing a room with it may be hard at first to relate, but knowing your personality, I am more than certain that you will have an array of friends by the end of the first semester!
Regardless, the Pancake Day sounds like fun! I am quite sad that I had to miss it. It worries me that you keep straying from mother's side however. The first scenario was scary enough, but luckily they were both in public places. Please, Sapphire, stay near Mama whenever you are out and about. It will only ensure your safety and prevent you from getting into trouble!
I think I attract trouble! Or people just seem to think I'm an easy target. I don't know! I should just not leave home until September!
I took your advise and asked Mama about the healer. Mama said that she ususally doesn't yell at others... but she doesn't show her emotions, either. What could have happened to make her not be open about her feelings?
It seems so, sister! You could always do what I do and read a book to stay out of trouble. It usually works for me and I also get the chance to learn about a lot of different things.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Maybe it has to do with her ministry job - I heard that a lot goes on and maybe there was a case that really affected her. If she doesn't want to share, I wouldn't push it though. She could just be sensible and not want to cause further conflict which is a great idea in my opinion!
