Mika has bad eye sight and so she clicked the wrong button. Sorry for the wait!

Dearest Brother,

How have you been this past few months? How has quidditch been? You're still enjoying it I presume. Good luck  on your games!
Are you planning to come home for the holidays? I hardly saw you during summer. Christmas won't be fun when you are not home. Do you not feel lonely in London? 
 
And do you have any idea on what our sisters and parents would like as a gift? I'm planning to buy them on our trip to Hogsmead next weekend.

Take care of yourself!

Your Sister

Dear Tobby,

I've been doing quite alright these past few months! Quidditch always helps to keep my days bright and full of things to do. Despite living away in London i'd hardly say it gets lonely. Don't forget that I am living with some of my friends from school so I am rarely without some form of company.

Of course I'll be coming round for Christmas! Perhaps even on one of the days I don't have quidditch practice the two of us could go out and get you away from the madness that is our sisters. 

As far as gifts are concerned I'd suggest you ask Febs for any serious ideas. I fear any suggestions I may make are more then likely to come from a revenge outlook based on some of the gifts I've received from them in recent years.

How's school been treating you? I hope you aren't letting having Divination as one of your classes go to your head!

Love,
August

Dearest Brother,

I’m glad to know that you are fine despite not having Mother’s delicious meals. I feel slightly jealous that Papa has allowed you to live in London. London must be much more fun than Hogsmeade especially since you stay with your friends. Oh well more food for me!

That’s great to hear! I would enjoy sometime away from our sisters. As much as I love them, I do feel annoyed at their presence at times. How long has it been since we’ve bonded?
Are you sure you don’t want to suggest anything? I’m sure that our dear sisters would enjoy receiving something fun for the holidays. And you’re just the right person I need to ask! I think that Febby’s ideas would be too predictable compared to yours.

Hogwarts is fine. You know Peeves making mischief here and there. I did thought of taking Divination as one of my electives. Though it would only be for research as to why Amber and Nova are crazy about the subject. But in the end I was too scared of becoming obsessed with Tea-leaf reading and staring at twigs that would somehow predict the end of the world. 

Lovingly,

October
