Morgan,
I got all your pictures and printed copies for the tree of you. The lady at the printing store was really surprised and made sure to ask me multiple times if I really wanted four copies of all the pictures. She seemed really confused. I could have explained it to her, but her weird looks were so amusing that I just sat and watched her.
Anyway, the pictures turned out great. I'm guessing the costumes that were super mismatched and made no sense were muggles? Honestly, what do we live in, the 80s? Besides, who wants to dress so plainly for Halloween? I guess when you're constantly wearing robes and silly hats dressing "like a muggle" can be fun. Although your costumes came out great. I really love the one picture where you're all doing the musketeer pose with your swords in the air. You should take to Headmistress McGonagall about spicing up the tradition, because it seems as if everyone had lots of fun. I'm judging from the pictures though. Maybe next time the teachers will dress up too! That would be hilarious. You would definitely have to get pictures of that.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I have to wait till we're seventeen to see some magic? WHYYYY!? That's no fair. I'm seriously disappointed at the moment. I guess I can understand why the school doesn't want you doing magic on your own yet, but I'm still disappointed. Allow me to go into a corner and wallow in my depressing emotions…. Ok I'm over it. I'll just have to wait, I guess. That's fine. Also, back to my question about potions. I figured I wouldn't be able to make them because I'm missing magical qualities. What I was asking was if I could drink your potions and if they would have any effect on me? Or would I just taste the gross goop and throw up? In that case, ewwwwwwww.
On the surface I don't want you to stay at Hogwarts forever, I want to be selfish and have you close, but that's wrong. If staying at Hogwarts and teaching is a dream of yours and it has a chance of coming true then I'll support you, 'cause that's what friends do. In exchange though you have to come up with a way that allows me to visit you! If you're going to be living in a gigantic magical castle then I really wanna visit. Pleassssseeeeeeee? Is there a way for me to like, teleport straight inside the castle? That way it bypasses all the muggle protection on the outside? If all the things I've said above are silly and you're shaking your head, just ignore them. I'll be glad to see you whenever you stop by.
Gifts for your boys, hmmm. They have to be some interesting muggle things. I remember you had to get feathers for writing with. If they don't have pens you could get them a few interesting ones. Parchment was also on your list, so a notebook maybe? I don't know you could do gift boxes with a few random things inside that make them question their wizard status. We could probably brainstorm a bit more once you're here. Although there's always the chance you want to give them some heartfelt gift, but you have six more years with these pups. In my opinion, heartfelt can wait till you're older.
I'm so excited to see you! I just can't wait! That probably explains the length of my letter. That and the math homework I have next to me, but alas it must be done. Goodbye, hopefully you shall hear from me again, if this math doesn't kill me!
