I don't own any of the original characters. I do, however, own the typos, Henry, Inscribson, and any other children coming from the weird pairs I've cooked up.

And, I was told if I didn't keep writing this, my life would be forfeit.

Oh, and I update all of the time, only mostly not new chapters, but changes in the story. So every time I let out a new chapter, it may be a good idea to re-read the story.

Yours in Magical Fellowship,

Inscribson


Dear Ms. Granger,

Before I write other business, let me say that although your daughter was hit by twenty-seven hexes and curses of varying strength this morning, she would have been hit by many more had she not had very strong shields. I commend you for teaching such skills to your daughter at an early age.

But that is not why I am writing, at least, not all of it.

Your daughter is a very skilled child, and would be able to sit every standard O.W.L this year if she wanted to, and receive at least an E in all of them. However, she doesn't, for which I am thankful. The bullying would be intolerable for her...But she does need training, now, to hone her skills. A child as gifted as her is rare in the Wizarding world, and even eleven years after the fall of the Dark Lord, we still will need what abilities those such as she can give.

As you may or may not know, Albus has hired another potions professor, one who will teach through the O.W.L. year, leaving me the N.E.W.T preparation classes. I find this very good timing, as I would like to take your daughter as my Sorcerer's Apprentice. I know that this tradition has not been brought into play for more than two and a half centuries, but Inscribson is, as I said, a very talented child.

The Headmaster has already given me permission. However, despite the traditions of the apprentice system, I would prefer to have your permission as well. She would be under my protection until she is of age, or until I can teach her nothing more, whichever comes first.

I would be training her in Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Transfiguration, Arithmancy, Numerology, and Astrology, Muggle Studies, Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, History of Magic and Divination, as well as differing forms of Warcraft. We would also be studying different languages used by magical and non-magical peoples.

She would have her own private quarters adjacent to mine. She will not come home for the summer until the summer she is to turn eighteen, instead spending her time training. She is to have no interaction with the outside world until then.

I hope you will trust the Headmaster's judgment, if not mine, about the discipline in which she will be raised. Most all of it was patterned by Merlin himself, although I happen to agree with it. Discipline will get her mind used to working every day, and will significantly accelerate her training.

Please send me your response as soon as possible.

Yours in Magical Fellowship,

Professor Severus Snape, Slytherin Head of House, Potions Master, First Class, Order of Merlin, First Class


Dear Professor Snape,

I give you my permission, and my blessing, to take my daughter as your apprentice on the following conditions.

You will send me letters with her progress once a week.

You will not start her on any potions that are considered illegal by the Auror guidelines until she is thirteen. Her birthday is on August 1.

You will send her to either Poppy or me when she starts puberty.

She will be allowed a room, and supplies, to brew potions of her choice.

I know that Inscribson is a very gifted girl, and gets it from not only my side, but her father as well. I only wish she could have had the chance to know her father as a child. Please send her my love, and tell her that I am not disappointed in her, just very busy with work. After eleven years, you'd think that the problems of Voldemort would be gone...

And neither her adoptive uncles nor I taught her any shield spells.

Yours in Magical Fellowship,

Hermione Granger, Ministress of Magic, Order of Merlin, First Class


Hey, Scrib,

Guess what I found out about my favorite Goddaughter? She is going to be accepted as the apprentice to your mother's and my old Potions Professor, Unofficial Auror, and my old Head of House. Snape! Good job, Scrib. You've really done well. And you've only been there for a month or so.

Don't worry about your mother. She's just busy, with her Ministry duties and all. She loves you quite a bit, and has no qualms against your House whatsoever. In fact, she said that your dad's full Slytherin side would have outdone her early Gryffindor, as she was already split between it and Ravenclaw. After all, we noticed that in our sixth year, when she was resorted into Ravenclaw!

And, Scrib, even though I started in Gryffindor too, I was resorted into Slytherin. They're not so different, no matter what the hype about them is. They stick by their friends, hex anyone who messes with them, and do whatever they can to stay in the game. The only thing is Slytherins don't always use tactics that are out in the open, and are considered sneaky when they are discovered.

Uncle Ron and I are somewhere in the States, but I can't tell you where. He sent your Mum the training guide for Cryptians – the American Aurors – to send to you when you turn twelve.

And don't you remember Henry Longbottom? His mom was a year under us, and is one of your Aunts.

I'll send you tons of letters.

Your loving Godfather

Harry


Dear Henry,

I know you must be worried about the lack of response from your father and me. And, to answer one of your first questions, you should remember Inscribson Granger. We've seen her often at family reunions. Her mother was a year ahead of me in school, and went to school with some of the Uncles - the Twins and Percy-and your father. The Aunts say hello, too. The rest of the Uncles – Harry, Hagrid, Bill, and Charlie - miss you, as do your father and I.

Oh, and watch out for the Twins. They've just started a new Hogwarts House related line. You may want to watch out for anything they send, and open it in private.

You know how they love their limericks.

Your loving mother,

Momma Gin


Can you see that little button? It means that I won't write anymore until you review. Kewpies for giving me new plot ideas, and for editing. If you find errors of any sort in here, tell me! Then we can work out a plan, and I can fix the plotholes.
