Zoya,
I know! I miss you too. It's only been, like, a week and a half and I already miss you a bunch! We totally were attached at the hip, but that's ok. It makes everything more fun that way. I must say I really am glad to see my boys again.
You're totally right, we should have put more thought into that plan. Oh well. I think there is some kind of protection that keeps muggles from seeing magic if they can't handle it. I think you're family just maybe saw a weird shadow rather than an owl. That's really funny, though! Glad I wasn't you! :P
Man, I'm so jealous of you, I wish I could play that it sounds awesome. Stupid fire-powered school and your lack of electricity. There's no way I could play while here what with the lack of electrical sockets and also because of homework. However, I will definitely be cramming as much game time into the summer as I can. You can go ahead and babble about Pokemon as much as you want. Go ahead. Rub salt in my wounds why don't you?
The worst part of getting out of school for a while is when you have to go back. We were hit with a fair amount of homework the first day. I also ended up going to Professor Greengrass afterhours to talk about the books she lent me. They were so good, I just couldn't put them down, you saw! It's so interesting. Potions have so many different uses. I don't think I ever realized just how many potions there are to serve different purposes. It's so cool. I'd really like to make some liquid luck. It's a little potion that you drink, and it just gives you good luck. Not normal good luck though, like supercharged luck. It's awesome.
Anyway, I'm sorry that math class sucks so badly, and that the lunch table is pretty weird too.
We did have a really nice reunion, we all ended up showing up at King's Cross at the same time. I ran up to them and jumped into their arms. They were both able to catch me. Then we had a little group hug. So nice. :3 I got to meet both of their parents. I think they talked to their parents about me a lot, because I could tell by the way they looked at me that they were completely sure their sons had a crush on me. Which is impossible right? There's no way they could have crushes on me. Anyway, Harry and Ginny Potter were both really nice. They have three kids, but only James and Albus are in Hogwarts right now. Allie-pooh has a little sister named Lily. She seems really sweet. He also has a cousin that attends Hogwarts, Rose. I've never met her because she's nearly always studying. Sunshine's parents were also pretty nice. I could tell they were a bit colder than Allie-pooh's family. They were raised thinking that pureblood wizards were the best, so they are still a little stuck up from that. I can tell they both love their son, and their prejudices towards muggle borns is nearly vanished. Which is really nice.
School is ok so far. Same old classrooms, just more and different magic. It's still all so new and lovely! I wonder if I will ever truly get used to this. No, I haven't gotten to try out any of the potions I read about yet, my professor says she wants me to progress a little bit more before she allows me to try out any of the more complicated potions. She has advised that I do a little bit of research into all the ingredients that go into potions and what properties they give to the potions. She also wants me to learn all the ways different things react with each other so I will not make any mistakes. I'm excited. She gave me a new stack of books, only this time she's going to let me read them during term! I'm so excited.
Thank you so much for the fanfiction! Gosh this is so glorious. I love it. Have you ever wondered, if your life was a fanfiction, who people would be shipping you with? Strange thought, I know. Just ignore me.

P.S. I totally forgot to tell you about our gift swap! I would just go back and add it in, but I have to get off to defense against the dark arts class. Remind me to write about it next time!
