Write Letters between Hugo and Lily after Hogwarts. Owlry

Word Count: 966 without the A/N


Dear Lily,

Love you too, Lil's. Of course, I wrote you! I've had that letter written for days. Before I actually sent it though I had to calculate how fast the owl would get to you so that it would arrive at a time where you were most likely alone. It looks like I was right! And I think that Orion doesn't like you because he's not my owl. I borrowed him from Draco Malfoy. (If you don't remember he's the new potions professor here.) I don't know what our dads were talking about when they said that he would be a mean, cruel, blood-sucking ferret.

You don't have to convince me about muggle movies Lily, we watched enough of them as kids for me to love them! I'm glad that you forget about that so often, though, It means I get to remind you. Is your favorite movie still 'Beauty and the Beast' like it was before you left or did it change again? I always found it hilarious that you would have a new favorite movie every week! Not that I'm complaining, I love watching you talk about your movies and film. Like mom says, 'it brings that light of purpose to your eye.'
I'm glad you're getting along with your roommates! Do you remember mom's old stories about her roommates? I still get shivers thinking about it after 19 years. And Lily there are plenty of reasons to still be taking English. There's a major difference between the British and American English for one. Also, there's more to English than what is taught those years before University. And it's always healthy to brush up on your language every now and then, look at the Americans. They develop new definitions and words on a daily basis! Natalie is probably just trying to stay informed with the newest 'lingo.' (See what I did there?)

It's pretty cool that you have a roommate who is also doing film. Maybe one day you and Hanna will end up working together! I'm so glad you've discovered Starbucks! They have an amazing Iced Coffee, (don't tell my dad, you know that he hates the stuff with a vengeance) and when you pair a hot cheese danish with it, heaven will melt in your mouth. Try one for me! I've been secluded from the world of Starbucks and you must feed my addiction with your own addiction.

CGI is amazing from what I've seen so far! (And I don't think that it would be only the House Elves that would need CGI in the muggle world, Lily.)

I know! I think that everything is going to work out, though; Draco has been teaching me how to control the emotions on my face and to sharpen my voice. (He says that I sound scarily similar to his Godfather, do you know who that is?) I tried it out on Uncle Neville and he flipped out. The pot that he had been holding fell out of his hands and he let out a really feminine shriek before running off screaming about Ghosts.

Minerva is doing fine; I really wish you wouldn't call her Old McG, though. And I wouldn't really know if she's any different, I never really had her as a teacher in the first place, remember? She's not as strict as you always complained about if that's what you're asking. Why don't you write her a letter? I know that she would love to hear from you, she asks about you all the time!

I honestly don't know. I've tried to not think about it. It's weird enough thinking that they might be friends, it's even weirder to think about him and my mom getting frisky on the couch while I'm teaching a class on how to start a car. (And now those images are never going to leave my head. Thank you for that Lily.)

Really? Why didn't you say hi to them? Normally you would jump hug Albus if you ever saw him, has something changed between you two? I was just asking, Lily! I mean, I saw it but I have a hobby of people watching and just notice things.

Please don't talk about OTP's. The teachers had a meeting recently about the floods of Muggleborns coming in this year. (43. Can you believe it?) Most of them will have different views on the same subjects and we received training on how to resolve and prevent 'shipping wars'. I thought it was a joke until Pomona stepped up and showed us some of her memories in a Pensieve. What I saw was life-changing Lil's, and I will have nightmares about it until after I'm dead and buried.

Are you sure? I don't want to take him away from you if I don't have to. Besides, Draco mentioned that Rose might be coming home with an associate of his across seas. (Don't tell anyone, but he said that they might be engaged.) And, there is a person who has caught my eye...And that's all that I'm going to say on that subject.

"Fun is Good." A great man by the name of Dr. Suess said that once, and I am telling you that having Fun is a very good, and necessary thing; Just don't have too much fun because your parents want to surprise visit you with the whole family. I only know because I'm your cousin.

You have be warned and it is sent with love,
Hugo
