Hi, little brother ! ;)

I know for the agressions in Hogwarts. Mariah -my partner, remember- spend her time speaking about it, her little cousin is one of the victims, her father is a Muggle and her mother works in the Muggle world I reckon. You should know her, she's in your house and you're a prefect after all. Her name is Barbara Tenysson, if I remember well. I hope your friends are okay -give my love to Kelly- and say to the Muggleborns to be more careful.

How are you ? Did you plan to come for the holidays ? Myriam and Jonas should be there for the first week. There were attacks against Muggles' familles in their town, but they are okay.

There's a curfew in Diagon Alley since this morning's attacks. We don't have any news from dad's aunt and her shop has been destroyed by the explosion.

At home, all is okay. Lukas says hello and Amelia kisses you, they are spending a couple of days at the manor.

The training to be Auror is quite exhausting. I have been overexcited since I heard that you want to do that too. The McKinnons Aurors, that sounds good, right ?

How is Professor MacGonagall ? Say hello for me, I couldn't have made it without her help. Do you know Sara ? She's Sam Johnson's sister, and Sam is such a nice guy. I know you're not his biggest fan -I never understood why- but I think he's decent enough and I really like him. Well, I'm not sure it makes you happy, but we're currently dating.

Mum told me to ask you if you need some extra clothes but I don't think so -she has already sent you two scarfs, gloves and even a cloak, hasn't she ?- She'll send you some more nevertheless, you know her.

Do you have any ideas for Dad and Lukas' birthdays ? Try to don't forget Dad's, it's the twentieth. I guess a new quill would be okay, but I'm not sure. I think I could have tickets for the Bizarr'Sisters concert in Glasgow for Lukas' birthday but I'm not sure yet. Or maybe a Puddlemere United sweatshirt. Amelia was thinking of tickets for the Quidditch final but there's no way Lukas support the Tornadoes or the Arrows and it's truly expensive. What do you think ?

I met Helena yesterday. You could have said me she left Hogwarts because her parents were worrying for her security. She's such a sweet girl. She studies at home now but she didn't seem to like that much. Did you keep in touch with her ? She has a dog she called Ryan. Is there a story behind ? I'd love to hear that.

About pets, do you know Amelia has a new hedgehog ? Poor thing. Maybe I should ask her to call him Ryan instead of Carter. I sincerely hope he is shyer than David -it's the former. He liked hugs. The problem was that nobody wanted to hug him. I honestly wonder why-.

You might want to kill me after that, but I need to know. Are you dating Amelia ? I bet 5 sickles that you are. Lukas says you don't yet. She's my best friend and you're my little brother, I have the right to know !

And I want my book about famous Aurors back ! Seriously, I lent it to you months ago !

Take care,

The best sister ever,

With all my love.
