19th February

Zoya,

I know right? I thought I was going to wet myself. I was laughing when they said that. They just looked at me like I was nuts. Then, they looked a bit hurt. I apologized, but I mean really. It's so funny. I will definitely have to take them to a mall or something over the summer. Your reaction sounds equally funny. I wish I could have been there to see your brother freak out. That's always a lot of fun. Your brother over reacts a lot. Of course the pens were a good idea. That's because I picked them out and I'm the master. I'm sure they will come to visit over the summer. Maybe I can talk them into staying with me the first few days or so of summer and then maybe after that whenever you leave for Poland I can go spend some time at their houses. I guess I could be reading too much into it, but I mean some of these ingredients literally have no other uses. I don't even know where he could have found them. You're right though I just have to let it go…. I am definitely going to try brewing that potion though. Professor Greengrass said she would let me as long as I studied up on the potion a bit. Proper disposal, shelf life, things like that. She also said I would have to stay after class one day, and that she would keep me under her watchful eye. I wonder if she would let Allie-pooh and Sunshine stay to watch because I'm sure they will want to. Also, how's Jake doing? It has been quite a while. I wonder if he still remembers me… Not that it matters. Just curious.

Thank you for that, I really appreciate it. I know you are pretty uncomfortable with relationship stuff. Polyamory sounds pretty interesting. I guess we will just have to see when I get that far. I'll just have to see how quickly these boys mature. Merlin knows I can't stand people who are ridiculously immature. Drives me nuts. You're right though, that was getting pretty weird. I will try to not talk about it for a while. I can't promise you how long. Like I said it depends on how quickly those boys catch up to me.

I know, I totally feel you. I'm the oldest out of all my cousins too. So whenever everyone is together I end up in charge of like five younger ninnies. It drives me nuts. My youngest cousin Katie is constantly glued to my side, too. For real she has to get a hobby or something. I don't wanna be a role model. Blah. I suppose I'm glad you're enjoying the company of my annoying little brother. Someone should, and it certainly won't be me. Well, good luck with your Pokémon game. I hope you win and then get all the Pokémon because yes.

That sounds really interesting. You'll have to show me some anime when I'm there over the summer. Though I don't think I will be into that kind of anime. Do they have romance anime? I bet that would be super cute. I will sit through maybe one episode of that, but I'm telling you I'm not gonna like it. I'm glad you're finding some cool things that interest you while I'm away.

Interesting… I suppose Sunshine is a bit more mature than Allie-pooh, but he's also a bit colder. More detached I guess. I guess we will see. Maybe I can warm him up with my overwhelming cheerful bubbliness. No one can possibly resist my power! He's certainly thawed a bit since the beginning of the year, which I feel is a big accomplishment. Someone should give me a trophy or something.

I'm glad that I could teach you a little something about your life. I guess the only clear view is one from the outside. You shouldn't feel bad, you just haven't really found where you fit in because you are still learning about who you are. I think it's different for us mostly because we've pretty much grown up together so we are more like sisters than anything else. Also, I'm probably one of the most stubborn people you will ever meet and I refuse to let you run away. Sorry not sorry.

I'm sure the boys will join only once I've exposed them to enough muggle stuff that it doesn't even faze them anymore. Won't that be a sad day? When they no longer respond with things like "So you don't have to dip it in ink?"

You're in luck, Perseus just molted! I am sending you some feathers with this letter, because I'm almost positive that he would eat your face if you tried to pluck any. I am curious though, what do you want to try?

One more thing: how's swimming and stuff, you haven't mentioned it since you started. I'm assuming it's going ok at least since you aren't dead. Unless of course you're writing to me as a ghost. I would say the idea of that freaks me out, but honestly I am around ghosts in this school every day. Peeves is my favorite, even if he is annoying.
