I own nothing, sadly.

Summer Letters:

Dear Harry,

I hope you are well. I have been alright. I am mostly excited to leave for school but I'm a bit sad to leave Celia behind. She's my best friend/sister. She's the one who you met while you were at the orphanage. I was reading some of the books I got and noticed most of the spells are Latin. Did you ever learn it. The nuns here made us, my teacher was completely awful. Since schools out Celia and me mostly spend our days in the back yard of the orphanage reading, (were not allowed to leave without an adult) which is lame because there's a really nice park down the road. It's called grey park and was actually the place I was found. Hence my last name. How have you been, is your family excepting you going to school. Celias fine, she's mostly bummed she cant come with. She coming to except it though she keeps saying that our paths are simply different, I'm to be a witch and shell be the future Dr. Doolittle. You know who that is, he's a fictional animal doctor who could talk to animals. Anyways I messaged Headmaster Dumbledore. His reply was very interesting. He basically said that he was quite surprised to have Ember fly down next to his morning tea and hand him a letter from a perspective muggleborn student. He said he would of course allow her at Hogwarts, and said that he doubted he would be able to deny the bird anyways since they were fiercely loyal to their people. He then said he also has a phoenix named Fawkes who brought him much joy.

Your Friend,

Evangeline Grey

Dear Evangeline,

I'm sorry that you will be missing Celia, I do remember her she was quite energetic. I do know of Dr. Doolittle but I never read the book. My Aunt, Uncle and Cousin have been quiet and well mannered toward me since I came back from Diagonally. And no I do not know Latin, though that will probably help you with the spells. I've looked over the books as well the Defense Against the Dark arts book is really cool. I also read some of the 1000 Herbs and Fungi. I can't believe there are so many magical things in this world, and it still seems unreal to me. I'm sorry you can't leave the orphanage, my aunt and uncle don't really care ware I go as long as I don't make the neighbors talk. So I have been spending a lot of time at the park nearby. That's interesting how you got your name, how may I ask did you get your first name. Evangeline is pretty but you really don't hear it everyday.

Your Friend,

Harry

Dear Harry,

I'm glad your family is being civil. The comment Hagrid made about your aunt made me worry about your situation. I know it's really none of my business so if you ever feel like I'm prying too much feel free to tell me, I wont get upset. I got my first name from the lady who found me. She said I looked like a little angel. And so she chose the name Evangeline, it means bringer of good news. I like the name but its so long most people just call me Eva. Or Evie, but only Celia calls me that and that's like once in while, that names more like a pet name.

I envy you ability to go to the park, the last few days have been very nice, and me and Celia spent them outside under the tree in the back garden of the orphanage. It was nice till the other kids came out, we don't really get along with the other children in the orphanage. They think were strange, and so they tend to do some mean stuff. So me and Celia just tend to keep to our selves. Only a few more weeks and well be getting on the train at platform 9 3/4. That is also making me a bit nervous.

Your Friend

Evangeline Grey

Dear Eva,

Yes I'm also a bit nervous about the train. As far as I know there is no platform 9 ¾. I figure well just find it when we get there. Bye the way, how are you getting to the station? I asked my uncle and he agreed to take me. Though he's be going off about that there's no platform and that wizards are barmy. Though the only reason they agreed to take me is because they're going near the station that day. Because they need to remove Dudleys tail. You know the one I told you Hagrid gave to Dudley.

I'm sorry you don't get along with the other kids at the orphanage, I didn't really get along with any kids at my old school. But that was because of Dudley and his friends. Only one week left!

Your Friend

Harry

Dear Harry,

I have the most distressing news to tell you I was Reading Hogwarts A History, and found out that electronics don't work at the school! I find this most distressing because I simply cannot go without music. Me and Celia have been pouring over the Encyclopedias I have in hopes of finding a way to make my Ipod work and remain charged. I was reading and it sounds like the problem is due to the use of electricity. So me and Celia have been going with Sister Rose to the library to learn more about electricity and how stuff works. We think if we just switch electricity for magic that maybe the Ipod would work, but we won't know till I get to school. I hate not being able to do magic out side of school.

I asked the matron how I was getting to the train station and she told me I was going to be taken by a taxi. And that's completely hilarious about your cousin, I can't believe our gentle giant Hagrid cursed Dudley. He must have been really angry. I hope Dudley learned from it. Oh do you want to meet at platform nine and then figure out how we'll get to platform 9 3/4. I figure its probably hidden in plain sight like how the entrance to Diagonally was. And I figure well probably see other witches and wizards around and we can just play shark with one.

Your Friend

Eva

Dear Eva,

I hope you figure out how to get your Ipod to work. And yes I'd like to meet up with you at platform 9. I think you are probably right about platform 9 ¾ being hidden. I have one question, what on earth is playing shark.

See you tomorrow,

Hary

Eva set the letter down, She looked at Ember who had just brought her the letter, "do you think I should reply or just wait till I meet up with him."

Ember fluffed her feathers, "just wait you'll see him soon, and I am tired. I am going to take a short nap before we leave."

Celia and Eva were packing up the rest of her things, and the taxi that would take Eva to the station was due any moment. Celia had a deep frown on her face, "I hope I don't get a new room mate."

Eva nodded as she closed her trunk. She looked around, "is that everything."

Celia said, "yah. Let me help you get everything down."

The girls then carried down Evas trunk, both of them were silent. They both knew they were going to miss each other greatly. The girls watched at taxi came up and they loaded Evas things. Celia said, "Gi Melin Evie." (I love you Evie)

Eva hugged Celia tight, "Gi Melin, guren niniatha N'I lu n'i-a-govenitham." (I love you, my hart shall weep until I see you again.)

Celia hugged her tighter and her voice hitched as she said, "Alamene. (Go with our blessings)

Eva started to cry and didn't want to let Celia go, she desperately wished she could take her with her. She didn't tell Celia but she had written to Dumbledore petitioning for Celia to come. He had said no. Eva then let go of Celia, and they placed their foreheads against each others, just like how Fili had taught Eva.

Celia said, "it's only till Christmas."

Eva nodded, "yes four months and I'll see you again."

The matron cut in, "all right well that's enough goodbyes get in the car Eva." Eva nodded and hugged Celia again and got in the car. The taxi then took off and Eva waved at Celia till the taxi turned and she couldn't see her sister anymore. Eva tried to dry her tears.
