Hey Everyone! Bellatrix here! This is my sixth chapter in my first multi-chapter Fanfiction. Reviews are very welcome especially because this is my first fanfiction and I want feedback, both the bad and good (please be nice, though)
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter
Andromenda sat on the large sofa in the Tonks family living room. The house had been noticeably quieter, ever since her daughter had left for Hogwarts. It was weird walking by Nymphadora's empty bedroom. It seemed like she was still there. She felt her presence whenever she walked by and saw the few clothes she didn't bring with her strewn across the floor and her unmade bed. She still hadn't received a letter from her daughter. Andromenda hoped that meant that Tonks was busy with her friends and school work.
She heard a loud crash by the back door, signifying Emerald delivering some mail.
"Ted!" she cried. She got up and raced across the room. She tore open the door. Sitting there, was Emerald on the doormat. He was holding a letter, the envelope bright pink. She recognized it immediately as the stationary she had given her daughter with the hopes she would write and let them know how she was.
She undid the letter from Emerald's talon. He then flew away into the sky that was turning into dusk. Ted walked over to her side.
"A letter from Dora?" he inquired. Andromenda handed him the still unopened envelope. He tore it open. He handed it back to his wife, still examining the cover. Tonks had used a permanent sticking charm to attach a picture of her and three of her friends. Each was making a face at the camera and Tonks had a pig nose. Andromenda and Ted laughed. Andromenda lifted the card open, still chuckling at the picture on the front.
Inside, it read…
Dear Mum and Dad,
Tonks here! I just wanted to let you know that I am doing just amazing. Hogwarts is so cool. I was sorted into Hufflepuff, just like you, Dad! I hope that makes you proud! I have met the nicest and awesomest people here.
The girls are 3 of the girls I dorm with. The one to my left with the strawberry blonde hair is Aleah. I sat with her and Charlie Weasley on the Hogwarts express. She has a brother at Hogwarts. He is a seventh year Gryffindor. The one to my right is Mason. She wants to be on our Quidditch team as a Beater next year. I bet she could be! She's amazing. I wish I could be that good. I am thinking about trying out for the Hufflepuff team in a few years. The last one to my farthest right is Cressida. She is really amazing at transfiguration. She also has two sisters. One is a second year Slytherin and the other is a fourth year Hufflepuff.
I am doing well. And school is also great. I have good marks in all my classes, especially Herbology, Charms, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. We have this horrid professor in Potions called Professor Snape. I know he hates me, but the feeling is mutual. The other day, I brewed the most amazing potion and he gave it an 'Acceptable'.
I hope you guys are doing well. I will try to write fairly often, sorry this letter took me three weeks to even send.
Love,
Tonks
P.S. Remember Charlie Weasley who we met at the station? He got sorted into Gryffindor. Apparently, he comes from a long line of them. He could probably the Seeker next year! He's bloody amazing!
"I'm so glad she is doing well" Andromenda commented happily as she finished reading.
"Me too," agreed Ted.
