My Thoughts Revolve Around You PV Mars Closed

To Willow,

Hi again. It was quite nice to hear from you, even though that owl of yours nearly scared Lydia half to death. I really didn't expect anything from anyone really. If this is a pity letter, I'll have you know that I'm quite alright. In fact, it's almost nice to not have to go home and see Kyron and Estella. But I miss my brothers like hell, so then again, maybe not.

I wouldn't have wanted to intrude on any of your summer plans, but thank you for offering. I'm keeping busy even though I'm by myself which is good; lots of books and wandering around. Mostly listening to music or watching YouTube videos. Oh, which reminds me—I do have a phone. But lettering... it's kinda nice, y'know? Not that I would mind the company but uh, I guess it's kind of fun to watch the owl come and go. Maybe it's a muggle-born thing.

Your hobbies sound so wonderful. Very—whimsical almost. I don't know. I'm pretty excited for school to start again, are you? I just... need to get out of this house. I need to learn more, y'know? Anyway, I look forward to the next one then.

Sincerely, Mars

Mars!!

I'm so happy I got a response! Honestly, sometimes our owl gets lost. Lily tries her best, but y'know, it happens to the best of us. Getting lost while delivering mail. Anyway! I apologize that she frightened Lydia, was it a crash landing? Again, that happens sometimes. And this is not a pity letter, I just wanted to check in on you because I care about you. You know, like friends do?

I like that you think I have summer plans, I only had two friends planned to visit this summer, and only for a weekend. I think you would've liked them. Actually! You might know Sylvain Indarys? He's in Ravenclaw too! The other one is obviously my brother, Flash. But seriously, even if you ever want to just visit my parents would love to have you. They panic less knowing that I actually have friends or something and that I'm not lying about being happy at Hogwarts. Being a muggle going to a wizxard school is really weird.

Why didn't I think you had a phone or like access to muggle stuff? Weird. I've been catching up on so many shows and YouTube videos. You really miss so much when you literally don't have access to technology for months on end. It's weird to think that some purebloods don't even know about all of this. But, then again I guess it's weird for them to think about us not having magic? I do want your number at some point so I can send you pictures of my new cat!! His name is Buttons and I got him from the Magical Menagerie. I can't wait for you to meet him.

I am excited to go back to school. As much as I've missed my family, muggle life is kind of weird and uncomfortable now. Even though it shouldn't be. So much has changed and I'm not really sure how to deal with it, you know? But, I'm sure I'll get over it soon. I just want to be back with my friends and hug them all and tell them that I love them! Which reminds me~ I love you, Mars!

To Willow,

Sorry for the late reply! Lydia and I have been out and about recently, trying to fill the time. We bought a whole stack of books on Greek Mythology that I'm excited to read. I forget about this kind of stuff when we're surrounded by magic, but it's actually really interesting.

Lydia says she's quite alright haha. She's a resilient person. I was wondering what that bang was when your first letter came. I hope Lily's doing okay, the poor thing. Forgive me for assuming this was a pity letter. I didn't think we were friends. Kidding, kidding. I'm glad—these make the summer a little less lonely.

I do know Sylvain actually! He's wonderful. Definitely a Ravenclaw though, I have to say. I really have to meet Flash someday. If he'd your brother, he must be a fantastic person. I'm sure people like those put your parents at ease. I agree though, being a muggle in a wizarding school is strange. I feel so out of place sometimes.

Hahaha, it's easy to forget honestly. I forget half the time since there's just so many other things to do at Hogwarts. I've still got it though, thank god, because I'm pretty sure I would've gone insane by now if I wasn't able to listen to music. That's the one thing abut Hogwarts—I really wish phones worked around there so I could use my study playlist. Maybe it's a good thing though, helps us focus. But then... people are constantly setting each other on fire so it's probably a give and take.

I missed YouTube so much. It is really crazy how much stuff we missed. Buttons sounds absolutely adorable and you definitely have to show me pics. Here's my number: XXX-XXX-XXXX. I'll probably keep sending letters though. Like I said, I kind of like watching the owl come in and out.

I think I'll be glad when we get back to school. I do have to agree—it's weird not being about to use magic. It's kinda like there's a whole new side to things that you can see but you can't use. We can work through the confusion together. I don't have as many friends as you, but I'll be happy to see the ones I do when we go back. I'm excited for the train ride too–my compartment-mates were interesting, so I can't wait to see who's with me this time.

I—love you too Willow. I have to go now though, Lydia says dinner's ready. She's also laughing at me for some reason and I don't know why. Anyway, hope you write again soon.

Sincerely, Mars

Hi again Mars!

After a couple of letters I never know what to say to start this. What's up Mars? Mars-. You're so formal with yours! I feel like I always have to remind you that we are indeed friends and we don't have to be so formal with each other, right? Do I still need a greeting? Could I just jump right in? I feel like I'd be breaking all the rules of letter writing if I did that! You know what, I'm crossing out the beginning. Ignore it! I jumped right in. This is the letter.

Do you feel like you're definitely a Ravenclaw? I feel like I'm definitely a Hufflepuff. I didn't exactly know what that meant when I was first sorted, but now I couldn't imagine being in any other house which I think is kind of cool. I know there are people that don't feel like they belong in their house, and I feel kind of bad for them. I know I can rely on my fellow badgers, and they can rely on me. There's nothing quite like that feeling. Although, people like you, Flash, and Sylvain replicate that really well even though you're not in the best house ever.

I did kind of miss my movies at the beginning of the year, but honestly by the end it wasn't that bad. But I missed the movie night with my family, that's for sure. I bet a movie night with you would be so fun! A bunch of pillows and blankets and snacks? That would be so good! I think if we were able to have headphones we would miss the fires and possibly die or something. So maybe its good that we can't have them there. To stay hyper vigilant of our surroundings.

Hopefully you got the pictures I sent you of Buttons! You'll probably receive those before this letter. Because... that's how phones and letters work. But you knew that. The feeling of writing on parchment never gets old does it? The scratchy scratch of the quill just kind of itches something in my brain that regular pens can't quite replicate. It took me awhile to get used to quills, but now I almost prefer them (except for art purposes, then I don't even want to look at them).

I think you think I have more friends than I actually do, which there isn't anything wrong with that! But I have a few that I love a lot, and a lot of people I just know around school. Its hard for faces not to become familiar when you're in class with them all the time I guess. I think I'm supposed to be riding with Flash at the very least on the way back. But I'm not sure if there were others planned. I hope you have nice compartment-mates! I'll be looking for you at the castle upon arrival!
