Why must they be so rude to me? They always tease me and oh it felt so good to beat everyone and excel in my tests. I felt loved by Godric. Like I was his daughter and he was my second father. Oh that's right I got my reply this morning from Mother. my old friend has undergone a surgery. She is so kind, she doesn't deserve to be hurt. She is getting her leg put back on again after a dueling accident. 

Dear Alanna,

Honey we miss you too, you may come home over the summer if you wish but, please tell us if you want to in the next letter.

 We are terribly busy with Bathilda, she has started to eat the furniture. But we can make room for you. She still does not sleep properly but she is getting better.

Your dear father has been in a minor accident, he has lost an arm...

 Yeah minor, she thought with sarcasm.

...The healers are working on replacing it. but he is okay. We are happy with your grade and suggest that you work hard with potions so that you can be a truly great witch. 

Congratulations on making gryffindor, honey. Don't eat the chocolate frogs too quickly. Be kind to everyone. Be polite as well, we know how rude you can be. In a seperate letter tell me all about this Phineas Nigellus boy he sounds interesting.

Don't be afraid to start a new life at Hogwarts, we don't mind if you leave. As long as your happy.

Love,

Mother

Dad sends his love from St Mungo's

and  Bathilda.
