Mione,

Witches are evil. Everyone knows that. They kill people and eat children and put curses on people and they're...yeah...evil.

Dad's sometimes a mechanic. Mostly he's a hunter.

You'd definitely be smart enough to be a doctor. I don't want to be a hunter. I dunno what I want to do.

Sam.

Sam,

How do you know? Have you ever asked one? Maybe they only put curses on people who have highly incorrect views based on insulting stereotypes.

You mean he hunts innocent creatures! Please tell me he eats them. It's just sick to hunt them for sport.

I don't know what I want to do. Something to help people. You're smart too, you could do anything. Medicine, law.. you're a bit small to be a boxer.

I'm worried about Harry. He hasn't written back to any of my letters. I'm worried his relatives are being mean to him. He never talks about it but...well he was awfully thin when he arrived at school last year.

Mione.

Hermione, witches are evil. No negotiation.

He doesn't eat them. He stops them from hurting other people. They're dangerous animals.

I am so not small. I've grown a whole inch! I'm not as tall as Dean though. Dean's HUGE! So's Dad.

I'm sure he's fine. Why don't you call him on the phone? You live close enough don't you?

Dean says I've got to go now. He's finished dinner.

Sam.

Sam,

They are a pair of massive IDIOTS! I can't believe they'd be so stupid! Sorry, bit of explanation necessary? Harry and Ron missed the train to school and thought they'd drive Ron's fathers car here instead. Somehow they didn't kill themselves on the way here but they crashed into the massive willow tree on the school grounds. The car is completely irretrievable.

Ron's mum came to school and shouted at him in front of the entire school. He deserved it. Fred and George (Ron's big brothers) thought it was hilarious.

How exactly are deer dangerous to people? Bears perhaps, moose definitely...but really. It's not right.

You're still not taller than me. I never did meet your brother.

Why is he making your dinner? Where's your Dad?

Mione.


17th of September 1992

Mione,

Happy Birthday!
You're thirteen now. Well you already knew that. but still.
I found this charm in a tiny shop in Alabama. It's supposed to ward off evil. I hope you like it!

Sounds like he did deserve it. How did they even know how to drive? We're not even allowed in the front of the Impala. Dad loves that car.

He was out. Busy.

Sam.


27th of September 1992

Sam,

I loved it. Mum guessed what it was and she sent me a chain to wear it on. I almost never take it off. I'm guessing that it's protection against witches isn't incidental, is it?

Not as much as he loves you, surely?

Hmmm.

Harry's started hearing voices in the walls. I'm worried about him.

Mione.


1st of November 1992

Mione,

I don't know what you're talking about.

It's freezing here. This motel has really drafty windows. Dean thinks I'm doing my homework. Don't tell him, but I finished my homework ages ago.

Shrug. I wouldn't know.

Do you have any friends who aren't insane?

Sam.


29th of November 1992

Sam,

I thought I'd send you your Christmas present early, seeing as you're cold. It's my school's scarf, which is part of the uniform because it's Scotland and we won't have any sunshine until May.

No. I seem to attract weirdos. Harry, Ron...you. Although I expect Ron was driven insane. He has five brothers and one sister and he's the second youngest.
I always wanted a big brother.

Mione.


18th of December 1992

Sam,

I figure you're travelling right now.
The whole school's been turned against Harry. They're treating him like some thug. Pupils have been getting hurt, but it's not Harry doing it! He wouldn't hurt a fly.

He's really depressed about the whole thing though. I'm trying to get proof that it's not him but it's risky.

I miss my parents though. I'm staying at school over Christmas and I won't get to see them until June because I'm not going home at Easter.

I hope you're having a nice Christmas, even if I'm not.

Mione.


3rd of February 1993

Mione,

I'm sorry you haven't heard from me in a while. We've been really busy.

I love my scarf, it's really warm. I have to keep it away from Dean or he'll steal it. What's the crest on it mean?

Dad's making me learn Latin. Don't tickle sleeping dragons is a strange motto.

Some people can't help being freaks. It's not our fault. Anyway you're weird for putting up with us.

Please be careful Hermione. I don't want you getting hurt.

I'm sure your friend will be fine and I bet your parents are missing you too.

Christmas was alright. Just me and Dean again, but we ate loads of sweets.

Sam.


19th of April 1993

Mione,

Bobby took a picture of me and Dean and I thought I'd send you a copy.

I told you I'd grown. Dean's pulling a stupid face, but that's just because he hates having his picture taken.

Dad wants to teach me to shoot. I don't like it but Dean says I'm just being a wimp.

You understand don't you?

Sam.


2nd of May 1993

Mione,

I'm really starting to get worried. I haven't heard from you in ages.

Maybe your letters are getting lost in the post.

Dean says that you just don't want to talk to me any more, but that's not true is it?

I wrote Bobby's address out again, just in case you lost it.

Sam.


20th of May 1993

Mione,

I'll stop bothering you.

Sam.
