Dear Mum and Dad,

Albus is already fast asleep, so I promised him I'd write to you. He was exhausted, but he has made it into Gryffindor! I told him he could write to you tomorrow, but he wanted to tell you now, so here you go. Hope Lily is doing okay. Wish her a happy birthday from me! Al and I hid her presents under his bed, could you give them to her?

Love,

James

Mum, Dad,

Has James written to you? He told me he'd write you. I was so tired yesterday I almost fell face first into my treacle tart during dinner. But it was dinner at the Gryffindor table so I didn't really care. Luckily today is a Saturday so I could sleep in and didn't have to go to class yet. James promised me he would show me around the castle today so I wouldn't get too lost on my first day.

They did hand out the class schedules during breakfast this morning, though. I'm a bit nervous about double Potions with Slytherin first thing on Monday, but I hope Slughorn goes easy on us. After that there's Herbology with Hufflepuff. Lizzy Longbottom is a Hufflepuff, so that should be fun.

My dorm mates seem nice enough. Of course I have Freddy there, and then there's Will and Michael.

I hope Lily has a wonderful birthday. Tell her I can't wait till we can go to Hogwarts together, and that I miss her, and that I will see her soon.

Lots of love,

Albus

Dear parents,

I overslept this morning. As a result, I was late for double Potions. Rose couldn't stop glaring at me and she hasn't stopped talking about it all day, but Slughorn was cool about it. There was only one seat left though, and I was put next to Scorpius Malfoy. I know uncle Ron told Rose to stay away from him, but he isn't that bad. He's quite good at Potions, so it's nice to have him as a partner.

Love,

Albus

Mum, Dad,

Scorpius is really cool. He's a great flyer, too. I don't know why uncle Ron said to stay away from him.

See you at Christmas!

Love, Albus

Mum, Dad,

Score's parents have to go away for business the last two weeks of the holidays. Is it okay if he comes to stay with us? He'll spend Christmas at his place, and then he'd come over the day after and spend those weeks with us before going back to Hogwarts.

Please say yes!

Albus

Lils,

I'm bringing my best friend over for the holidays. Please please please don't start of the conversation with the whole birthday business. You'll scare him off and he won't ever come over anymore and he's my only non-Weasley related friend. I'll buy you pumpkin pasties.

Love, Al

Dear brother,

You drive a hard bargain brother mine. I can't promise you anything. Will try my best. Can't wait to see you! I'm so excited!

Lots of love

Lily
