Dear Rachele,
Its snowed in London this week! Mother wouldn't let Reggie, or I go out and play so I snuck us out when she took tea with Aunt Druella (mother to my horrible cousins I told you about). We played in the snow for two hours and it was great. We built a snow man with the muggle children from across the park. Mother and Father were so angry then took away my outside privileges and grounded me. I'm only allowed out of my room for meals and lessons.
The new years ball sounded like fun! I wish English balls were that fun. I hate having to put dress robes on and act all serious.
I forgot to ask last week; did you get a Pegasus for Christmas?
Yours,
Sirius.

Dear Sirius,
This week has been very boring, all I have done is study for the test that Zia Anna said she would be giving me. I am really nervous about it because if I don't pass then Mamma said I can't move on to the next topic.
How are your studies going?
Yours,
Rachele

Dear Rachele,
Sorry I didn't write to you last week! Mother removed my writing privileges since I played a prank on her by putting colour dye into her shampoo. She was so angry that I snuck out to play with the children from across the street again. But that made her even angrier.
I really enjoyed hearing about your trip up to Turin to see your cousins, thank you for the post card as well.
Yours Faithfully,
Sirius
