Send “ø” for a late night text.

[Text] I know we’ve only gotten close recently, but that doesn’t mean I can’t worry about you. You’re a part of my Ravenclaw family and an important part at that. Just please text me when you wake up in the morning. I left you a potion for your hangover, on the side. There’s some water there too.

You’re unapologetic about who you are and I don’t think I can say that about many people. I’m not saying you don’t put up a front, because I think we all do to protect ourselves, but I’ve gotten to know you better recently and it’s only made it clearer to me that you possess a type of strength that I’ve only recently discovered. You say I’m your role model, but I think there’s a lot that people can learn from you. 

Quinn, I apologize for the lateness of your gift. I was a little, er, preoccupied yesterday. I’m kind of surprised I found it was still in my cloak pocket this morning, I thought I would have stolen it as a gift to prove my love and devotion…er, anyways. I feel I fell a bit short of my normal gift giving expectations here, but I saw this in a shop and it just seemed very you. It’s the Celtic knot, or the five-fold I think they call it sometimes. As you know, it is believed that the Celts originally were a civilization of Druids before they were overtaken by modern day Anglo-Saxon culture, and this necklace represents the latent power in all of us. The four outer circles represent the four elements of magic: water, fire, air, and earth and their mastery in the physical world. However, the last circle represents what those of us lack in typical circumstances, the power to unify all three using our mind. It’s believed that only the sharpest, most structured witches and wizards ever strike a true balance between all four without letting one grow to strong. I believe you are truly capable of being such a witch, Quinn. You show a restraint and elegance in magic which I lack and envy greatly. Thank you so much for being such an amazing role model to me, someday I hope I can learn to be a little more like you. Happy birthday, Kitty

It's gorgeous Kitty. So beautiful and I don't really know what to say, other than thank you. I'm still always a little taken aback when you call me a role model, but I'm glad I can be all those things for you, even if I don't necessarily believe in them myself all the time.

Dear Quinn,

Shopping for your gift was about the hardest out of everyone. I realized that while I idolize you and try to model myself off of you quite a bit, I don’t actually know as much as I would like about you beyond your scholarly prowess, your Quidditch skills, and your beautiful voice in Frog Choir. “Begin at the beginning” they say though and I remembered offhand your cat was named Dinah and I thought perhaps it was after Alice in Wonderland. I remembered liking the book quite a lot as a girl and I found this little gem at a jewelry shop. However, I’ve included a copy of the book with it in case, by some off chance you haven’t read it. Hopefully in the New Year we can grow a bit closer and I can learn more than your superficial qualities so next year’s gift will be extra splendid.

With love,

Kitty

She is named after Alice's cat, because it's always been one of my favourite books and one of my first ever muggle ones too. And while you're getting to know me, I guess I should say that I actually collect copies of it, so it's perfect. They're both perfect. Thank you, Kitty.
