Year One


Dear Ginny, Hello, I am writing you for school. We where told to make a pen pal to practice writing friendly letters. I am ten and have a twin named Bethani. Our mom's name is Besti and our dad's in the U.S. Marines. We moved to England when Dad had to for work. Do you have any sisters? Mine just vanished with my kitty! Sincerley, Brandi

Dear Brandi, I am also ten. No, I am the only girl in my family (besides Mum) and the youngest of seven children. Wow your sister can already Apparate with a passenger? Merlin's Beard! Dad says that's extraordinary, because my eldest brother's (Bill and Charlie who by the why work outside of England) can hardly do it now alone, though it's quite useful. Percy is still in school as a prefect, trying to keep the twins, Fred and George, from getting expelled. Ron, who is just a year older than me, just started at Hogwarts this year and has already made friends with HARRY POTTER!!!!!! Your Friend, Ginny

Dear Ginny, I have some questions for you. What is Apparation? What band is Harry Potter in? If you live on the other end of the country how come your reply got here so fast and with out any postage? How mean are your brothers to you? Also, have you ever seen an owl during the day? I did the day your letter arrived, it was a clumsy old big grey one! Thanks, Brandi

Brandi, WHAT!? How is it you've never heard of these things at TEN, goodness you'd had to of been raised by muggles! Apparation is vanishing and reappearing else where. Harry Potter is the most famous person in the world, because he lived when You-Know-Who killed his parents. Also, my brothers aren't mean they are just annoying at times when they treat me like a little princess, but they mean well. Oh and the owl. sorry Errol hasn't made a long distance delivery in a long while, he scarcely made it home! Ginny

Ginny, I hate to say this, but, I have another question. What's a muggle? Also, Harry Potter can't be the most famous person in the world because not one person I know has ever heard of him, as far as "You-Know-Who", well, I'm sorry but we have no knewledge of this person either. Sorry, Brandi

Brandi, Well! Now I know you are muggle BORN at least, but if your sistercan apparate she must be a witch! Can you do anything 'unusual'? Especially if you are scared or angry? My whole family is magic, but, when I first showed I wasn't a Squib (a muggle, born into a magic family) I was five and spotted a neighbor's Crup chasing Ron's Puffskein, I was scared and the dog froze in mid pounce so I scooped up the Puffskein. As soon as I did the dog snaaped out of it and ran home looking confused. Sadly, the twins took the poor the back out an hour later and accidently killed it practicing Quidditch. I was horrified and wouldn't speak to either of them for a month, though now, they are Beaters for the Griffindor team. Ginny

Ginny, Bethi isn't so bad and I swear I saw her dissapear before, but I doubt it was done by magic though some times she claims she doesn't know how she got some where. As for me, well, my hair is a different color sometimes, mom says, it was black when I was born then suddenly when I was i toddler it went blond and darkened again to brown though some days if I'm happy it'll go reddish but if I'm upset it'll turn ashen. Whats odd is my twin was always had white blond hair and bluish green eyes, mine are brown. BORING! I wish i could change them. And by the way, if the Crup is a sort of dog, then is Puffskein some type of cat? Also is Grryfindor a local kids team? Brandi

Brandi, I KNEW IT!! You are both magic, you should come visit me this summer and I'll explain everything in person. Ask your mum and tell me if you are coming, Bethani may also, Mum said it's fine. Your letters should arrive soon after soon after you do and mum will take you shopping for your school supplies, just remember to bring muggle money, you can change it at Gringotts before we go! Ginny

Ginny, Our mom says It's ok since your mom gave her permission. Bethani is suspicious of, as she calls it, "this whole magic thing" but she has aggreed to go with me to check it out, and um, "keep me out of trouble". But she also insists that we take our own summer reading incase we don't get letters accepting us into the magic school. Mom wishes us to write her as ofter as possible. Thanks, Brandi
