Dear home Dear mum and dad Dearest sisters,
Today is my first day at Hogwarts. I'm not sure if our parents ever talked to you about Hogwarts or the wizarding world, but I've decided go to school for magic. That may sound like a load of beetle dung, but it's the truth. Then again, you may already know. I hope you all do. I don't want to be alone in this.
Anyhow, I've started at Hogwarts and, honestly? It's pretty intimidating. There's so many things to do and people to meet and places to be, it's dizzying. I just hope it's better than home...
Are Mercy and Faith recovering from the fever well? I hope the medicine book I sent helped. And remind Serenity to check by the post for the cook books. I'm sure they haven't gotten lost, even after weeks. They'll turn up, I'm sure of it. And I have some new book recommendations for Generosity, but only if she gets back to me about what she thinks of The Bell Jar and the collection of Sappho's poetry I let her borrow. I'm still waiting to check out Homer until we can read it together.
One more thing, though... Please don't tell mother or father that I'm here? Make up something, anything. I don't intend on returning to our childhood home in the summer, so it'll have to make do with that.
I love you all and I miss you. Take care and I'll still write regularly.
Your youngest brother,
Henry Colour

Dear Mum and Dad,
I can barely believe that I'm at Hogwarts myself! It's so different than being home-schooled! I'm not used to so many people around me so I felt nervous and afraid after the Sorting Ceremony was finished. Speaking of which... I'm a HUFFLEPUFF! Dad, I hope you're not feeling too disappointed but I'm not a Slytherin like you hoped I would be. I'll do my best to make you (and mum!) proud of me regardless which House I'm in.
I've already attended several classes such as Charms and Herbology and so far I really enjoy it! The homework I have submitted is not graded yet: I hope that the Professors approve of my essays because I want to do well! I'm not feeling so nervous anymore because I'm in a House where eveeryone considers each other as family and I know that I'll make friends too! I just have to be patient though: I'm not going to force myself on others, that might scare them away!
Even though the year has just begun, I can't wait to come home over the holidays. I miss you both and Matt! How is my little brother doing? Does he miss me? I doubt he even knows I'm gone since he's still a tiny baby after all.
From your son,
Lucas

Dear Father and Mother,
I'm quite aware that you won't receive this letter, instead just ripping it up before reading it, or giving it to the nanny to read. But, I'm still going to write this letter for you.
I am having a fantastic year, so far. I've met quite a lot of students, and I'd like to think they're my friends. The common room in my house is amazing. The fireplace The Great Lake is very visible from the Slytherin common room. Yea, I got into Slytherin. Are you proud?
My grades are doing fine enough. I have O's and E's... However I do happen to have an A in Transfiguration, but I'm working to fix that. Don't worry, I'll be a perfect student.
How are you doing? Have you still been going to parties every weekend - without me, this time? I'm just joking around, don't worry.

Rhea Bishop
Rhea knew that she was lying to her parents about what house she was sorted in, but she knew that it was for the best. If her parents EVER got wind that she was in Gryffindor, she had no doubt that they would disown her. Just like her family disowned her Uncle Gaudin, who was the only Bishop so far not sorted into Slytherin so far. Rhea sighed and tied the letter to the leg of a school owl and sent the owl on its way.
the trouble is, if you don't risk anything -- you risk more.

Dear Mama and Baba,
It has been amazing here at Hogwarts. I totally understand why you loved this place. The students, the classes, the professors - it’s all so magical! I’m sorry I haven’t sent you a later until now, but I’ve just been so busy! I have so much to tell you. I bet you’ve been dying to know which house I got into - Ravenclaw! I know, I know, I’m as surprised as you are. I was really hoping I’d get into Gryffindor, even Annalise got in! Yeah, it’s really crazy. Make sure you don’t tell her parents though, she made me promise not to tell anyone from the outside world. It has been really fun in Ravenclaw though, and I’m super excited to be here. I found a dance class, that’s been cool. Oh my gosh, of course! Babushka told me that Dashechka was starting school soon! I’m so frustrated that I won’t be there to see her off on her first day. I know she will do great. Tell her I love her! Well, that’s all! I’ll be back home on Thanksgiving. And Christmas. Owl me back! I love you!
Я вас люблю и скоро увидимся*,
Natasha
Natasha pats her owl’s head, Cubeline, and ties the owl on her leg. «Get this to them safely, пожалуйста**,» she murmurs quietly. Smiling sadly, she sends Cubeline off with the address of her small townhouse. She didn’t tell them about how she hadn’t made any friends, and how her and her best friend had drift apart, especially since Annalise was in Gryffindor, and Natasha was in Ravenclaw. But that’s not important. What’s important is that she focuses on her studies, so she heads out of the Owelry to finish them.
*: I love you both and we will see each other soon.
**: please.

Mae couldn't believe she was going to be late for Defense against the dark arts. She knew for sure that Mr. Mellowrose was going to cut her a new one for being late again. If only she had gotten the letter out sooner, she wouldn't have now what is 15 something minutes late. She was rushing up the stairs and hurriedly fumbled with the door knob. As she opened the door she saw other students as well, but she knew good and well they weren't having the Defense against the dark arts teacher and they were probably going to be let off easy.
Dear Mum and Dad,
Hogwarts is so fun, I have finally settled into my dorm. I miss you guys so much, and I even miss Lizzie. If you miss me, I heard we get to come home for the summer and winter break I believe, so you'll get to see my in no time. I love all my new classes here and most of the teachers are pretty nice, unless you exclude one who shifts between moods. I hope you are having fun back in the real world, and tell Lizzie to stay out of my room I am coming back this Winter.
Love, Mae
P.S. My favorite class is Astronomy turns out the teacher is my head woman for the house.
P.P.S. I hope you are happy for me I got Ravenclaw, A famous Witch named Luna Lovegood was a witch in that house years ago, she fought alongside Harry Potter, I hear he was a wicked famous wizard around here.

Dear Daddy,
I’ve been here at Hogwarts for a month now and I still miss you, but I am having lots of fun. Guess what? I found a couple of Chocolate frog cards I didn’t have in my collection. The ones I still don’t have seem to be the hard-to-find ones now. I don’t mind having more than one specific card anyway. I can just make more than one set.
How are the potions going? Are you coming to Hogwarts anytime soon? I hope you are because then we can visit for awhile. I’m doing very well in my classes and the lessons are pretty interesting. I study a lot to keep my grades up, but I also spend time having fun too.
I like the Slytherin Common Room. It’s so pretty and my dormitory is pretty cool too. My dorm-mates all seem very nice. We seem to get along very well and we are willing to help each other. It’s nice to finally be able to explore the castle and I did do some exploring with my new friend. His name is Kyden Goodlow and he’s really nice.
I’m enclosing a drawing I made a few days ago. I thought you’d like to have it. If you miss me, you can just look at it and think of me.
Hope to see you soon,
Emily

Dear mum and dad,
Another month here at Hogwarts. I do apologize for not getting back to you sooner like I promised. I had class homework and I have received my grades back. I did get a lot of A's and one EE and sadly a D I think in Potions. I do hope next lesson I can raise my grade, I don't think the Professor likes me very much. Lots of my Professors advise me to add more into my homework and when I do it isn't enough. I don't know what they require of me anymore so I am trying my best. Every month it seems a house wins the house cup. I find it quite a challenge to gain house points for Gryffindor. I am curious on how Ravenclaw got so many house points. It has to be from the students. Maybe there is more than other houses? I dunno. I learned a lot in my classes and I do miss you both very much. Studying here at Hogwarts is a bit harder than how it was at home with you both homeschooling me. I do look forward to holiday. I hope you both have a good Easter.
Love,
Cameron

Dear Mother and Father,
Well, here we are! I made it and alive too! I know mother has told me all her wild stories of when she first arrived at Hogwarts and how much trouble she go into! I haven't done any of that yet (unfortunately
)! But I plan on it!
Mother, you will be so proud to learn that I have been sorted into the SMARTEST house in Hogwarts....
Slytherin! Nah, just yanking your chain, I'm a Ravenclaw! I know it is kind of off trail since mother was a Gryffindor but what can I say?! I'm just glad to be here more than anything! It's so much prettier than I had evened imagined...so tall and...bricky. I can't wait to go straight into my "studies" (you know I say that for you Father XD)
There is so much here to explore, I think I'll start my explorations tonight. Don't worry! I won't get caught past curfew! I'm a good girl!
I will not lie, I miss you guys, not home but my wizarding family back home. I miss the open spaces but really I wouldn't change this experience for the world. I'm so excited to be in the wizarding world expressing my true colours for the first time freely.
I should get back now if I want to have any time to investigate, I will write to you again hopefully soon.
Your Loving Daughter,
Anomili

Dear Mom, Dad, Cole, John, and Timothy,
It is amazing here! You wouldn't believe the stuff they have. They've got sweets that come alive, floating candles, and a weird hat that could talk and see into my mind! (They call it the sorting hat.) I've been sorted into Hufflepuff, it sounds pansy like but the mascot is a badger and they are all about being trustworthy, loyal, kind, just and dedicated. I think I fit pretty well!
My room is so nice and the bed is so big and super comfy. The boys would be so jealous if they saw it. I haven't made many friends yet but I definitely am trying to get myself out there this won't be like my old school were my only friends are my brothers, I am going to have so many!
I really miss you guys already, it sucks seeing all this cool stuff and not be able to tell you about it in person, Timothy would be so jealous everything here is just like those books he reads! I have enclosed a chocolate frog for you guys to share. (I got it on the train so I hope this gets to you soon I don't want it to melt or something, and send back the card they are collectibles!)
