Letters, swimming, and and necklace portals

Laenna p.o.v

Christmas came and went and pretty soon Easter break was gone too. I heard absolutely nothing from my family. As for professor Reid, I was still very suspicious of him. No one believed me except X and Lilly (well X believed a teacher had done it but he wasn't sure which one). Right now I was at breakfast when I surprisingly got a letter, or well, sorta.

Laenna,

We need to know if your coming home this Summer. Your mom says your going to have to but if you'd rather stay in that world feel free. Oh and Leslie says hi.

Dad

P.S your mom isn't happy with you and to be honest I would've liked a letter saying you were skipping out on Easter.

I growled at that last one since I had certainly sent a letter. Someone must've intercepted it. And it wasn't my sister. I grabbed some parchment (again stealing from X who never figures out it's me) and began to write.

Leslie,

You are officially the only one I'm speaking to in the family since mom must be burning my letters to dad which makes me wonder if you're going to get this but anyway. Mom's right, I gotta come home for Summer or at least some of it. Molly, Lilly, and Lexi will be on vacation at different times and I might stick with them, but I gotta come home home for the first two weeks of Summer then I'll figure out the rest. See you in like two months.

I was going to send it to he with the owl but then I had a better idea. I took off my locket and opened it. It grew until it was big enough to fit my letter in. I smiled and silently thanked Lexi who was off in some New York alley snagging a rat.

"Leslie Isabella Hiedel." I whispered and put the letter in the portal which would make it appear in an area where only Leslie could find it. Since it was Saturday and I had all my Homework done, I could pretty much do whatever I want. I ran out of the Great hall and into the common room only to find X.

"Sup?" I asked. He shrugged.

"Wanna go swimming. It's finally warm enough." he asked.

"Sure, let me message the others then I'll get ready." I ran back to the great hall and let my Immediate friends (Sev, Lilly, Lexi, Molly, James, Sirius, Peter, and Remus) know. Then I ran back up and changed into a swimsuit. Once I grabbed a towel, sunscreen, a good book, and enough ham sandwiches and water bottles for everyone, I ran to the lake. The Gryffindor boys where there and so was X. Sev and Lilly ran to join them. I smirked and jumped in. Joke was on me, that was COLD. I didn't take long for everyone else to join us.

"Well, any ideas?" asked Sirius. James raised his hand and tried to splash him. Only Sirius dodged and it hit me. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed by this in the slightest.

"WAR!" I yelled. and it was. I won! sorta. We climbed on to the beach about three hours later to dry off and eat. Once we did that I realized there was a letter in my bag

Lae,

Mom's gonna glow her top at this. I don't really think this matters though. By the way how'd you get me the letter. I got this to you by a portal necklace some random person sent me along with a letter saying they were a friend of yours. Lexi, I believe. And your right, mom is just mad that you got powers. She better just get over it. See you after a while.
Leslie
P.S Is there a spell out there that can SHUT THE REDAKAI UP. "oh Leslie, you'd be better off on the side of good, you need to join us blah blah blah." They even tried to use some sort of mist that would distort reality.

Good to know that even if she could be a brat, Leslie still loved me and would always treat me as her awesome, tomboy, slightly annoying sister.
