***AUTHOR'S NOTE***

I want to apologize for not updating in so long! It started with forgetting to bring my laptop on a vacation then Christmas/New Year's distractions followed by going back to school.

Anyway, to make up for it I will be updating twice a week for the next month or so probably, seeing as it's been about that long since the last update.

Again, I am very sorry! Enjoy this chapter, and reviews are always appreciated! :)

Zoya,

I know right? It was so funny. You should have seen their faces. They sat there staring at the first picture for, like, a solid two minutes. Their faces got increasingly confused as the seconds ticked by. Finally they turned to me and were like, "…. But…. Why aren't they moving?" I laughed so hard I thought my lungs were going to implode. I explained to them that muggle pictures don't move. That just confused them more. I told them it's magic that makes wizard pictures move, and since muggles don't have magic their pictures don't move. They are still confused, but they'll live.

I know right? Maybe I should start a club or something so that the muggle borns could help the witches and wizards learn how to dress like a proper muggle and witches and wizards could make sure all of us muggle borns knew all the magic ways and traditions and what not. I mean there is a muggle studies class offered from second year on I think, but I feel like most people don't take that class, or if they do they don't take it seriously enough. Oh well.

Thanks! I'm really excited, she put me in charge of planning and set up. Sunshine and Allie-pooh are gonna help as well because I'm making them. It's unfortunate because that means we won't be able to participate in the contests and stuff, but that's ok. It will be a blast anyway. I'm sure there will be people who try to spike the punch. However, I'm sure that Headmistress McGonagall would scare them off before they could succeed.

First of all, I could never get sick of you. That is just physically impossible. Second, don't you usually spend a lot of the summer in Poland visiting family? I'll have to maybe see if I could spend some time with Albus and/ or Scorpius over the summer if you're going to Poland. I'm getting books anyway. Even if I have enough other distractions. Professor Greengrass says she has a few really interesting potions books that she is going to loan me over Christmas break. She says she doesn't want to distract me from studying right now so I have to wait till then. It sucks, I wanna read them nowwwwwwwww.

I'm sure there are silly ones. Though I can't think of any off hand. I know that Allie-pooh told me his aunt Hermione accidentally gave herself a cat tail and a cat face. She accidentally put cat hair into a poly juice potion during her, Albus's dad, and his uncle Ron's second year at Hogwarts. Poly juice potion is a really advanced potion that takes an entire month to brew properly. Once completed, you drop in the hair of another person and drink it and you turn into that person. It kind of doesn't work too well with animals. It creates a half human- half animal thing. Hermione ended up in the hospital wing for days!

You'll have to be satisfied by that. I don't think the muggle wards can be beat. All you would see upon approaching the grounds is a ruin of a building with a big fence around it saying "keep out" or "no trespassing" If you tried to cross the border anyway you would instantly become confused and be filled with an intense need to turn the other way. There's no way you can make it onto the grounds. It makes me really sad because I can never share this place with you other than in pictures.

There is no way you can prank Albus. I'm sure he's completely immune to itching powder and anything else you could throw his way. His uncle is a pranking master. His uncle has a legacy that lives on even today. He and his twin (who died in the battle of Hogwarts, so sad!) terrorized this school! I think McGonagall and Flitwick are still traumatized. They used to work with this ghost named Peeves to make their pranks that much better. I'm glad I wasn't around then. Don't worry, though. If they don't get me anything I will just make them feel super guilty. I'm good at that. I'll act super hurt. Probably be able to get some tears in my eyes as well. I hope I won't have to do that to them, but I will if I have to!

That's awesome! I don't really have any homework at this point either, it's mostly just studying for exams and piecing together final papers. I'm kind of excited to be done! At the same time, I know how lucky I am that my school work is this awesome. How was hanging out with Kevin? Also, I did well on my exam, as always. Allie-pooh and Sunshine did pretty well too!
