To Daddy,
I don’t know why I have to write this letter, when I just spoke to you on the Floo and we’ll be home for the weekend, but grandai says that I have to learn to write letters for people I love so I am writing this for you.
Kenmare is rainy as always. Grandai and Ma are fine, which you know already. Oona is annoying like always and I can’t wait to come home and not share with her anymore. Ronan gets to ride on his broom all the time and Ma says I’m not allowed to go on it because I should play with my sister, which isn’t fair. Can I have a broom please?
This looks long enough so I’ll see you soon. Love you lots.
Love
Zaira

Dear Dai,
How’re you? Portugal is so pretty and so hot. Dad and Oona and I have made about a million sand Hogwartses, which have made her feel much better about Ronan going. I’ve also eaten lots and lots of cheese and cake. Not together though that’s gross. I love you lots and I’ll see you soon!

Hey Dad,
Thank you SO much for the posters, I have West Ham and the Kestrals on either side of my bed now (which I’m hoping won’t make me any enemies).
Actually, speaking of that. I wanted to tell you (I know I said I would straight away) where I’ve been sorted (before Ronan could at least). I’m writing to you from the dungeons! I’m in Slytherin.
Please don’t be mad! There are some lovely people here, and Al Potter is in Slytherin too. I’m sorry if it’s not what you expected.
I’ll see you really soon!
Lots of love,
Your Zaira
Hiya Dai,
Thanks for writing. Yeah, I’m fine. The other slytherins are all really nice really, and no I haven’t needed to use any of the spells or the punches you showed me.
Classes are great! I love defence against the dark arts. A lot of people talk about you and Dad and the war. It would be weird, but Albus Potter and Zabini are in my classes. They definitely had it weirder. I like them, they’re nice. Everyone is so far.
On Friday we go flying for the first time! Well, the first time here. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Love,
Zaira

Hey Dai,
How are you? I feel like it’s been ages since summer, although I know it hasn’t really. We’ve started all our new classes now and I’m so glad I didn’t take divination (thank you!) all the others in my dorm who did hate it.
Hogsmeade is just incredible, I love it so much! Zonkos is amazing and I love the Honeydukes chocolate. I can picture you and Dad here though and it’s so weird. What was it like when you were at school?
Actually, speaking of - is there any chance you could send me over a few galleons? I went over on food I’m really sorry!
Also I didn’t make the Quidditch team. Not surprising, they weren’t really looking for new beaters or chasers I don’t think, but still. I’ll see you soon.
Lots of love,
Zaira

Dad,
I made the team! You’re hearing from Slytherin’s newest beater.
Will tell you and Dai more later!

Hey Dai,
I hope Dad has told you (Altho was he at the studio today?) but I made the team! The tryouts were way harder than last year, I guess because there were more places to fill, but I managed to do them all (and without whacking the captain this time). Training starts this weekend and I’m so excited - thank you thank you for the broom this year (I know you asked Mai to get it for me) I know the new nimbus made a difference!
Haven’t seen much of Oona yet but I’m sure she’d tell you if there was something wrong.
Love,
Zaira
Dad & Dai,
Is it weird to send this as a letter? Maybe. It feels a bit weird to say at all really. Anyway - thought I should tell you both. I think I’m bisexual? I’m going to Hogsmeade with a girl this weekend and I went with a guy last time so - guess that’s that. Love you and see you soon!

Dad,
Started patroni today - got mist! Nothing big but still. A start.
Love you,

Dad,
Sorry it’s been a couple of weeks, OWLs are crazy and every time I sit down another essay appears (when Linus isn’t making us run drills).
I’m writing because we had career talks today. They kind of panicked me. I still don’t know what to do! I know quidditch sounds stupid, it’s such an impossible career to predict, but I love it. Is that enough? Linus has been doing all the start of his applications and it’s just nuts dad. I don’t know. And then there’s the ministry stuff (thank you for passing my name to Hermione, she was great!) which would obviously be amazing but would I even be able to talk to people anymore? And I guess defence is always an option but I’m not sure if I’d make a good auror at all anyway. What do you think?
The game next week should be a good one, I would love it if you’d come! We could go to Hogsmeade after if you want, I’ll get a note from someone. Maybe you can ask one of your bigshot quidditch friends to come (but don’t tell Linus, he’d die) and tell me if I’m any good or should give it up.
Love you so much, and pass it to Dai too.
Z xx
