Dear James,
Sweetheart, you forgot one of your schoolbooks, so I'm sending it along. Say hello to Siri for me!
Love,
Mum
Dear Mum:
Well, here we are, back at school. Everything is the same as usual, nothing to strange going on. I'm making good grades as usual. There's a couple of kids here who are always messing around, Sirius and James. Right prats. They're both purebloods, so you know how that is. Anyway, I'll write again soon.
Love,
Remus
Dear Siri,
Mum and dad are furious that you didn't show up for Christmas. I missed you a lot too. Annie and her boyfriend were there, but you know how mother thinks of them. It ended in a big row and mother said they were to never darken our doorway again! (Well, that's not really what she said, but it meant the same thing). I got your present, but mother took it away. She said that if you wanted to hand out presents like Father Christmas, then you should actually show up and you had disgraced the family's honor and what would dear Aunty think as you always were her favorite. It was a shame that such an ungrateful wretch had ever been born! (And that is what she said!) Well, you know how mother can be. I have to go! She's coming upstairs. I have to send this with one of our old owls, so it might not get there too quickly.
Love,
Reggy
Dear Mum,
It's only been a few days since you last saw him! Besides, I left that book there for a reason!
Love,
James
Dear Lily,
I am having a terrible time with out you! I don't want to stay here and live like a mugwump or whatever. It is absolutely boring. I want to come to Hogwarts! You need to write more so I don't get bored.
Love,
Tunia
Dear Petunia,
You are being a silly goose. But oh well, I'll tell you anyway. The castle is huge. It's rather old fashioned, with high twisting towers. On one side is the Forbidden Forest. There are lots of magical creatures here, but I can't tell you about them as we don't study Care of Magical Creatures until our third year. There is also a lake, which, as it is winter is frozen over. When it's warm, the older students say that there is a giant squid! There is also a quiditch pitch, which is a silly sport that all the boys like where you fly around on brooms, just like in the stories I used to tell you. The kids here are baisically just your average everyday spoiled brats, annoyingly happy girls, or bullies, except worse because they, of course, can curse you and make your face swell up like a balloon.
Love,
Lils
Dear Remus,
Darling, I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid that your father's taken a turn for the worse. Is it possible that you could go to your Aunts for Easter break, like yo udid for Christmas? I'm so sorry darling.
Love forever,
Mum
Dear Mum,
Sirius and I are staying here for Easter break, okay? Sirius' mum won't let him stay with us for now, so he told her he had to stay here to study.
Love,
James
Son:
I advise you to stop angering your mother. You constant bouts with her are not in the least advantageous to anyone's social or political career. It was quiet ridiculous that you could not even manage to make yourself into a proper Slytherin, but this disrespect and refusal to come home over breaks is simply outrageous. I suggest you get your priorities straight. You are a Black, and you must learn to act like one.
-Your Father
Dear James,
It's all right with me if you stay over. Will it just be you and Sirius then, or are some of the other kids staying as well? Your father sends his love!
Love,
Mum
Dear Father,
I have my priorities straight, I believe you were the one who told me that my education was the most important time of my life. Well, I'm trying to make use of it, and I need the time to study, which I'm not likely to get at the manor with all of my dear cousins running around.
-Sirius
Dear Lily:
Darling, I'm afraid you'll have to stay at school over break. You see, Petunia's come down with chicken pox, and we don't want you to get sick! You have your magical career to worry about!
Love,
Mum and dad
Dear Mum:
No, it won't just be me and Sirius. In just our house, Two other boys and a couple of girls are staying. Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, (you know, I told you about them over break?) are the two other boys. The thing I do for my best mate, I tell you.
Love,
James
Sirius:
If I believed for one second that you were staying at that school to further your education, I would be pleased. But it is clear that you are only staying to pull as many tricks as you can with that Potter boy and to hide from your mother. We are Blacks! We do not hide.
Your Father
