Dear Sirius Orion Black,
My name is Rachele Nives Montague and I wanted to write to with you a happy birthday so,
Happy birthday! I hope you have a good birthday. And you get everything that you want.
I hope you will agree to write me back as even though we are supposed to get married when we are all grown up, I don't really know you. But I would like to.
Mamma says I should tell you some things about myself. So, I am 6 years old like you. My favourite colour is yellow. And my favourite thing to do is read or play in the gardens.
What are your favourite things?
Yours
Rachele Nives Montague

Dear Rachele,
Thank you for your birthday wishes. I had a good birthday I received a copy of 'Dark Arts: An Introduction to Forms' from father and a nice quill set from mother.
My favourite colour is red but don't tell mother! I don't think she would approve we are supposed to be Slytherin through and through (their colours are green and silver). And my favourite things to do are to play with my brother, his name is Regulus and he is 2 years younger than me. I also like to play pranks of which both mother and father do not approve. Last week I covered the rim of father's monocle and mothers magnifying glass handle with black ink. It was very funny even Reggie laughed. Mother however did not find it funny.
Do you like pranks?
Yours faithfully,
Sirius.

Dear Sirius,
Today we visited the Pegasus stables in Genoa. I couldn't believe how big they were, Papa said if I was good, I could have one for Christmas! Have you every ridden a Pegasus?
The weather here has been awful this week, so I haven't been able to go and play in the gardens instead I stayed in and studied some more. On Wednesday we had a big family diner with all my aunties, uncles and cousins as a preparation for the Christmas ball. It was very nice to see everyone. Even when the grown ups ditch us to talk about family business.
Have you done anything fun this week?
Yours,
Rachele.
