Authors note: A new story! Please review because I want to know if I should continue or not.
Dorea and Charlus Potter ,
Your son has been in Hogwarts care for approximately two hours and he has already managed to obtain a detention. We have not yet arrived at the castle and I am having to correspond with you, I hope I will not have to do so as often as last year because it makes my fingers ache dreadfully. This particular misdeed involved a large piece of string and a handful of Slytherins; they have yet to regain consciousness.
I sincerely hope that I will not have to write anymore this week.

Dorea and Charlus Potter,
I doubt you will have received my first letter yet and I am already writing another one. We have still not arrived at Hogwarts and I have been forced to give your son another detention. This time at least no one was seriously injured. James and Sirius thought it would be a good idea to let fireworks off in the Slytherin carriages. I hope very much that I won't have to write again today.

Dorea and Charlus Potter,
I doubt you will have received any of my previous letters yet but I regret to inform you that your son has been awarded with yet another detention. This time it was for fighting, once again with Slytherins. At least we are nearly at Hogwarts so I shouldn't have to write to you again today.

Dorea and Charlus Potter,
I wonder if your son is trying to break some sort of record? He has received another detention. He managed to upset the food trolley all over the train, in normal circumstances I would consider it an accident but the fact that he high-fived Sirius afterwards makes me slightly suspicious. I am now taking a headache potion and I hope for your son's safety that I do not have to write to you again today.

Dorea and Charlus Potter,
We have now arrived at Hogwarts and the Slytherins from the first prank have regained consciousness and are safely in the hospital wing. Unfortunately that is not the reason I am writing to you. Your son has received a week's worth of detentions for pushing an unsuspecting Slytherin into the lake. In doing so he also managed to make the whole student body late for the feast while the boy was rescued. He has now gone to his Dormitory and so I am thankful to say that you shouldn't hear anymore from me for a while (or at least the night).

Dorea and Charlus Potter,
I am writing this letter at 2:05am on the account of your son once more gaining a detention. I am writing at such a ridiculous time because this is the time he has been caught. As you might have gathered he was out of bed after curfew and not only that but was in the kitchens. (Does that boy have a bottomless stomach?) I am giving up hoping to not have to write to you because it evidently doesn't work though at least technically it is the next day now.

Dorea and Charlus Potter,
Perhaps your son likes detentions? Once again he has received one, this time for enchanting the pumpkin jug to repeatedly pour over Lucius Malfoy's head. Does he realise that Malfoy is a prefect and ought to be respected?

Dorea and Charlus Potter,
Thank you for your sympathetic letter and I will try the asprinnia you recommended; suitable for migraines too you say? This letter is unfortunately not just a thank you letter. Your son has received detention for taking part in a midnight Quidditch match which was not only against school rules but was also highly dangerous due to the level of darkness. Not only was it after curfew but it also took place near the forbidden forest (Stupid boy!) and was conducted using brooms from the school cupboard which is strictly forbidden. Was he ever dropped when he was little or did he ever receive a sharp impact on his head that could have caused brain damage? It would explain a lot.

Dori and Charlie Potter,
I do realise that we have corresponded enough to be friends and I am grateful to be given the privilege of using your nicknames mainly because it is less to write. What with writing to you and Sirius' parents my fingers are beginning to swell. I hope you are having a nice holiday from your son and making the most of it. He is a very nice, likeable boy but he is such hard work! I don't know how you do it! Anyway he has received detention for locking the caretaker, Mr Filch, in the stock cupboard. (Personally I was reluctant to let him out but my duty bound me as a teacher!)

Dori and Charlie,
I would love to go shopping with you during the Christmas break I can't wait until it comes round yet we are only on the second week of term! Mr Potter has received detention for a deliberate attack on Mrs Norris, Mr Filch's cat. I am getting very fond of him as I have spent so much time with him recently. He is quite a sweet boy really.

Dori and Charlie,
Mr Potter has received detention for bad language. I can't think where he gets it from. Perhaps Sirius' parents? Whenever they send that poor boy a howler it has plenty of bad language in. James would have a lot of trouble blocking it out though he tends to spend most of it comforting Sirius. He is quite sensitive really. Poor Sirius though, on one howler the reason they were sending it was simply because they were bored! I don't think some people ought to have children.

Dori and Charlie,
Yes its me once again! I think it is a lovely idea to have Sirius round with you all holidays. He and James are so close. Unfortunately they have been up to no good again and this letter is to inform you that once again they have received detention. This time for magic in the corridors. Not very serious thankfully! I do hope that I will have no more bad reports over the weekend.
