Dear Mauve,

I can't count the numbers of balls I have been in since summer started. You wouldn't believe how stuffy it gets in these frilly/lacy dresses I have to wear, especially in a room filled with other people in stuffy outfits. Mother says "a lady doesn't sweat", but she is oblivious to the sweat stains on every one of her guests.

It seems my parents have started to look for my "betrothed" as they call it. They are relentless, I get introduced to at least ten blokes per party, each worse than the last! One my parents were considering was even thirty! I realize there's not many pure bloods left but really!

Once I turn seventeen and graduate I am leaving, for good. Maybe you could recommend some places in the states?

How is it going at Hogwarts, are you able to entertain yourself? I bet the castle is creepy when there is no one around. Has Dumbledore told you where he keeps going to yet?

Write back as soon as possible, to save my sanity!

Your friend,

Kara Bennet

Mauve!

How has your summer been so far? It must be stuffy in the castle, there's not even air conditioning! Although I suppose there must be a spell for that….

I'm stuck babysitting here, I can't wait until I'm able to magically change my little sister's diapers. And put my brothers i cages, they get into everything! Do you have any siblings back in the states? I bet they aren't as much a pain as mine are.

Have you heard Kara's parents are trying to force her into marriage? And with some stuck up pure blood! There are good pure bloods out there, but I bet Kara's not meeting any of them!

Ugh! At least Jeremiah's having fun, he doesn't have any siblings to worry about.

Mark just broke mum's rose bucket, again! I've got to clean this up to be the "responsible" one now. Ugh!

See you at Hogwarts,

Love,

April Davies

Dear Mauve,

How have you been? Getting out of the castle every once a while I hope, Remember to get plenty of vitamin D, I don't want you to appear sick in any way when school starts up, alright?

My daily life so far has been uneventful, Dad tried to get tickets to the World Cup but they were sold out. I'm glad we didn't go though, have you read the paper lately? Death Eaters living out their glory days, it's just sick. I'm ashamed to be related to them. I'm glad my father got out of that society before it was too late.

I'm sure Dumbledore has a logical explanation as to where he is going, maybe he's just getting a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Hogwarts does seem to go through those teachers lately.

Write back soon, I look forward to the escape from this mundane muggle town.

Your friend,

Jeremiah Prince

Mauve,

So much has happened in the past few weeks, thanks for sending a school owl so we don't have to use our families. One is ready to keel over any day now, and the other is way too young to be trusted. Plus, the young one is Ron's and he always has Pig (the owl) sending a letter off to one of his friends. Imagine, ickle ronniekinz has friends!

We were able to test the Ton-Tongue Toffee on a muggle and according to Dad it worked! It was nearly four feet long before the muggles let Dad fix it. Such serious creatures are Harry's relatives.

Because of mum burning our forms we're going to have to start from scratch. And this time we think it would be best for you to keep them during the summer, so they don't get found any more. We included what we remember from the form, if you remember anything don't send it back in a letter, just jot it down and we'll talk about it at Hogwarts.

Dad got tickets to the World Cup, but don't worry we weren't hurt. We had to hide in the woods with Ginny during the attack because Dad wouldn't let us help. If you don't know what we're talking about go read the Daily Prophet, but don't believe them completely. That cow Rita Seeker wrote the article and she doesn't like anyone or anything to be portrayed as good.

We bet our whole savings on the match and we were right, but Ludo cheated us. He gave us leprechaun money, but we'll find him and make it right. As you know, no one can hide from us.

The match was fantastic, we could go into detail about the Porskoff Ploy or the Hawkshead Attacking Formation but we know that will bore you so we'll simply say the match was amazing! Seeing professionals playing will change the way we play Quidditch and watch it. Hogwarts Quidditch is nothing compared to that match!

Mum got into a row with us before we went to the Cup about the Toffees, but when we got back she nearly squished us flat! Crying and saying she never should have yelled at us, we'll be able to use that material for a long time.

So, miss official tutor for Hogwarts, what is with the dress robes? You know we won't tell a soul!

Dumbledore's probably just trying to find a new professor, seeing as we have had to get a new one for the third year in a row. We're beginning to think the job's jinxed.

Be sure to use the book we gave you Christmastime, it'll make the time fly by until you once again get the pleasure of seeing our handsome faces. When is your birthday anyway?

Until Hogwarts, don't miss us too much.

Those devilishly handsome men,

George and Fred Weasley

Ahem,

Fred and George Weasley

Sorry this chapter is so short however I have had this idea of writing letters since the beginning. If you have any ideas of how to make this chapter longer I would love to hear them, and as always thank you for reading!

Also, if anyone knows how to make a line go through the middle of text in this site, please tell me. I tried to make it look like the "George and Fred Weasley" was crossed out (by Fred), but I couldn't figure it out.
