Letters To Home
Alina stared at the blanket parchment in front of her, quill gripped firmly in her hand. It had been a week, and she hasn't written to her parents. She knew she had to, that she should, but what could she say? 'Hi mama! So I didn't get into Slytherin, but I DID get into Gryffindor! Guess I ended your family legacy!' Yeah, no. That wouldn't work at all.
She sighed, setting the quill down and tugging at her hair in frustration. If only her brother was here, he always knew what to say to keep her mama calm and happy. Oh how she missed her brother. Leo was the brightest spot in her life, and yet he had ripped his own presence from her life away. Leaving nothing but a gaping hole.
Quill in hand, Alina began to write, tentatively.

Quill in hand, Alina began to write, tentatively.
'Dear Mama and Papa,
I'm sorry for not writing sooner. Life has been really crazy here, as I'm sure you understand. Settling in and getting organized with classes is really overwhelming. I'm sure you've heard, but I got sorted in Gryffindor. I'm sorry it wasn't Slytherin. I did tell the Hat that I wanted to be in Slytherin, but he said I didn't belong there. Also said, in less words, I wasn't smart enough to get into Ravenclaw. So, sorry Papa. But, I guess I can start my own journey in Gryffindor.
Well, that's all I really had to say. Write back soon.
Love you both,
Alina Ambrosia.'

Letters To Home
-Unsent-
My dearest brother,
Here I am. A couple days into my first week at Hogwarts and you're not here. I miss you endlessly. I keep hearing your laughter echo in the halls, and I wonder how our sibling-hood would have worked out with you in Slytherin and me in Gryffindor. I'm sure we would have made mama furious either way.
Sometimes I feel like I should resent you, hate you for what you did. You're supposed to be here with me, but you're not. I'm alone and sometimes I can't help finding you in everyone I meet.
I guess I should ask. Why? Why did you do it? Why did you leave us? Leave me?
I'm sorry that was rude of me, I just miss you so.
I hear some classmates calling so I should finish this up.
I'll get back to you soon, I hope.
Love endlessly,
Your sister, Alina
