Jamison,

I will in fact acknowledge that we both miss each other a lot and thus i cannot use that as blackmail. However, I feel like I should remind you I have a long list of things I can blackmail you on. So I’d be careful of that score board of yours, before I end up using that against it.

OH MY GOD CAN SHE DO THAT? CAN SHE DO THAT AND NOT GET US ARRESTED HOLY SHIT? Like, obviously I’m still going to dye my hair (I’ll totally go silver and include a picture in the next letter) but that is so AWESOME. Oh my God. Hug her for me. I will always prefer the Muggle way but I am so, so game for that. Also, the reason I prefer it is because Muggles are cooler than wizards #sorrynotsorry.

What happens if you just casually transfigure all of the robes in the castle into them? Consider it the castle’s biggest prank. I’m sure all the upper level students will get in on it with you. Or at least, the Muggleborns will? If they’ve got any taste at all.

True, true. Just wasn’t sure with your crazy prefect/captain duties and our combined study schedules if it’d be a thing. But I’m totally game for it. It’s going to be so good to hear your voice again. I mean, I’m sure you’ll drive me crazy in like ten seconds, but the time before that will be wonderful. And talking to Quinn will be great, too. 

I dunno about your face, though. I mean, it’s pretty damn nice. But illegal to mess it up? That might just be a little bit much, even for you. Besides, getting a little roughed up could make you hotter. You just have to toe the line very, very carefully I think. You could probably stand to get a little hotter.

I wish you all the luck in the world. And now Amy can cheer for me for you too! Which reminds me. Do not let my baby sister play Quidditch until she’s taller than a broom that is expressly forbidden. Like, I will probably punch you if I find out she’s on the quidditch team, okay? Cool. Love you, but I gotta do my big brother threats.

Seriously?? Seriously? You have tests named after owls and newts? One’s a cute lil bird and the other’s a freaking lizard? James. Jamie. Bro. You gotta talk sense into the people who make the rules cause that’s just ridiculous. You could even call the CATs like. Cumulative Analysis Tests considering that’d actually make sense. 

DRINK RESPONSIBLY? I’M A TEENAGER THAT MEANS I’M SUPPOSED TO GO OUT EVERY WEEKEND, GET SMASHED, STUMBLE HOME DRUNK AND BE HUNGOVER THE NEXT DAY

Sure you can! You just gotta y’know, make sure that she remembers it’s not just talent it’s how she holds and presents herself too. Stage presence is a huge thing and doesn’t require your ears so I’ll scream as loud as I want ;)

It’s the best kind of history though. It’s the kind of history about other species and superheroes and the things that dictate a fucking magical world. We just need a find a way for me to listen in on your lectures, and then I’ll gush about them. That can be how you study.

And yes, I would blame you. But I’ll help you anyways. Because you’re cute and that way you can understand what’s going on when I drag you out to do things when you come for the holidays. Gotta keep you well trained and all that, right? Plus yes, I am the best. 

Elli

P.S.: They’ll be over before you know it.

P.P.S.: She did and I cried a little and told her that she needs to hug you once a day for me too.

Jamie,

You’re lucky that I love you, and it’s cute when you miss me as much as I do you. The fact that I was hoping you’d write me soon probably says about me, as much as you writing says about you. I miss your face like hell, and I’m assuming you miss mine too, so I’ve opted to include a selfie I took for your viewing pleasure. I’m thinking about dying my hair for the next one. Thoughts on color?

Also, what the hell? That sucks about Kurt. He was the only hope for fashion the guys in your dorm had. I’ll just have to work harder to teach you about good clothing choices outside of robes, even from a distance. But yeah, that’d be awesome. Thank you. ♥

Seriously though! That’s awesome! I mean, now that you guys can finally tell me all this shit, and NOW I CAN PROPERLY ENJOY YOUR CULTURE FROM A DISTANCE oh my god I’m so happy. Can we use these mirrors to talk once in a while too? Like, I still want letters, oh my God you’re not allowed to ever stop writing me just so we’re clear. But if our schedules ever match up I’d love to have like a ten second conversation with you every once in a while.

And yes, you are a genius. Though I mean, I dunno. Sounds like your cousin’s the real brains of the operation.

Also I’m still waiting on Amy’s letter, so she better have written me already it better get here soon. Is she making friends? Are people picking on her? Cause I will walk to Hogwarts and kick some serious ass if my baby sister isn’t happy. Magic won’t stop me from showing people a lesson. In other news, thank Dom for the picture! It’s going with the rest of my super secret stash of magic stuff that I totally don’t have.

Okay, but really. Who do you have potions with? Cause if you’ve got it with the Slytherins that make you such a grump, then it’s gunna be a hell year. Drink lots of coffee, it’ll make it better. Congrats on Friday Quidditch though. Just don’t like- Fall off a broom and mess up your weekend, okay? You better not come home with your face all messed up. I’m not going to be very happy with you if you do.

But you will get cookies when you write back saying you’ve led your team to your first, official victory. Just saying.

Also, you’re going to be fine when you graduate. Kick ass on those crazy exams of yours. I know you said you had owls or whatever fifth year? So what pet are these named after? Cats? Muggles have an MCAT, so I’m gunna go for that one and call it good. Let me live in ignorant bliss, okay? Cats are probably cuter than whatever you guys actually call them

PASS YOUR CLASSES. MAKE GOOD CHOICES. I WILL WRITE BACK ABOUT MY OWN CLASSES WHEN I’VE DECIDED WHAT’S WORTH MY TIME THIS YEAR!

Still no band. Still not famous yet. Will hopefully change by next letter, you’ll know because you’ll probably be able to hear me screaming all the way from the castle.

HOW CAN YOU NOT PAY ATTENTION IN HISTORY OF MAGIC??? You’re learning about so much cool shit, taught by Captain America?? Seven years later, I’m still in awe of you, Jamie. Pay attention for my sake, at least.

And tell Cap I say hi. Like, you can legally do that now and not get arrested. Oh my God is he ever on the train? Can I meet him at the station? THE WORLD IS FULL OF POSSIBILITIES.

Ell

P.S.: I miss you too, Jamie. Ten more months til you’re sick of me always.

P.P.S.: MY BABY SISTER IS A GRYFFINDOR SEND HELP SHE’S GUNNA BE JUST LIKE YOU. I CANT HANDLE TWO OF YOU
