Dear Tobias,
Firstly, I want to let you know that I have always tried to write to you. All my life I knew I had two brothers, but felt like I only had one. Daddy always said that that you did not want any news from me.
If I do not get a reply from you this time, then I will know that was true, but I am hoping that now you are free I can learn more about you, and that you might want to know about me.
I am 11 years and 1 month old and I go to Beauxbatons Academy in France.
I have read in the paper that you have been allowed to attend school in England with Jason. I think a lot of people are angry about this, but it makes me happy.
Please tell me all about it.
Your sister,
Keira
Dear Sister,
No words can explain the joy I felt at receiving your letter. Many unexpected and positive things have been happening to me recently, but being able to write to you is the best of them all.
Please believe that I have always wanted news from you, but I understand why Father would want to keep you from writing to me. I have a feeling now that he would not approve of us sending letters, but since you say you are 11 years and 1 month old I believe that you can make your own decisions, you are practically a grown up.
What you have read is correct, I have been allowed to attend Hogwarts with Jason. The school is very big and impressive, though not as big and impressive as Beauxbatons I am sure!
The lessons are very interesting and the teachers are very strict. I have been spending a lot of time with Jason, and watching him play quidditch. Don't tell him I said this to you but I find the game quite dull! Do you like to fly?
Please let me know what it is you wish to learn about me. My past is a rather boring and colourless story if I am honest, and I am not sure how much you know of it. I am hoping that one day we can sit together and I can explain things to you properly.
For now, if there is anything specific you want to know, you can just ask. I will always be honest with you.
Always yours,
Tobias
Dearest Brother,
I cried when I got your letter.
It was very embarrassing at the breakfast table and all my friends were being very nosy and asking what was wrong. I took your letter down to the stables where they keep the horses and read it there. I think I prefer horses to people, even though they smell sometimes they are much easier to talk to.
I have decided that I don't care what Daddy thinks of us writing to each other. I used to send letters with Jason to the hospital when I was little, but Daddy would always bring them home and burn them in the fire. I will never forgive him for doing that.
I wish I could see Hogwarts! Do you think you could take a photograph so that I can see it? My teachers are strict too, especially when I don't speak in French.
I am glad that Jason is spending time with you, even if some of it is when he is playing quidditch. Don't worry I won't tell him what you said… I think quidditch is boring too! I'm not very good at it, my flying professor always shouts at me during lessons and calls me ENFANT MALADROIT because I usually fall off the broomstick.
Here are some things I would like to know from you.
1.What is your favourite lesson at school?
2.What is your favourite animal?
3.Do you think that we will see each other at Christmas?
Please write back soon and don't forget the photograph!
Love from Keira.
