I do not own the Harry Potter world that includes the characters, plots or even the lands. I'm just having fun with the characters for a little plot that came to my head last night.

Dear Papa,

I know that technically you were at the ceremony and saw where I was sorted but is this not a tradition of the first years to write their parents or guardians about their Hogwarts House?

Its been a bizarre day indeed, I made it to the station on time thanks to Uncle Abe and as I sat on the Express I had someone come up to me and tell me how she wanted to be sorted into Gryffindor because that was where the great Albus Dumbledore had been sorted and then started to go on about all these books she had read and spells she had learnt and then just happened to go on and on about well, me. Not as Nicholas but Harry but I couldn't very well tell her to shut up or that I was Harry despite how much I wanted to which would have been rude and yet despite all that she has become a friend.

I didn't have any sweets on the train but I did so enjoy Aunt Minerva's packed lunch- will you thank her for me please? Oh and also send Aunt Poppy a thanks for the headache potion that had been added. I did eventually need it when the train got louder as everyone got happier with meeting or making friends.

I've been wondering something- how am I to do my annual Cemetery visit on October 31st? I cannot skip classes and neither can you be missing otherwise it would be obvious. Also on Mama's birthday how am I to visit her grave? I really wish I had thought to ask you these questions before packing my trunk- oh that reminds me of something. I forgot to pack my red glasses which should be in front of Mama's Portrait, I daren't attempt to read using the blue set for fear of doing a wrong potion, I don't think that Severus would forgive me for ruining his classroom.

How is Jett? Is he being a good dog or is he missing me?

Please do tell the portrait of Mum and Dad that I made it into Ravenclaw and please do tell them that the hat considered Gryffindor but said that as I took after Mum far too much with reading and knowledge then it had no choice but to put me in Ravenclaw. However I am happy with the hat's decision, I don't wish to be known as another generation of Dumbedore or Potter to end up as a Griffin, if it ever comes out about the Potter issue that is.

Oh have you told Amelie & Sirius that Leo has also joined me in the house of Raven? How does it feel to have both a son & grandson in the same year group? I'll try to watch out for him but if his snoring keeps me awake all night then I'll not be held responsible for my actions.

Yours,

Nicholas William Alexander Dumbledore

Your little Raven
