After greeting her owl, Raven grabbed her quill, parchment, and ink, and sat down on the floor. There was some owl droppings but Raven picked a clean spot to write.
"Dear Mom and Dad,
I have arrived at Hogwarts, and I have been sorted into Hufflepuff! I haven't made very many friends yet, which is quite upsetting, but I have seven years to make friends, so I'm not in that much of a hurry. Anna has arrived too, though I didn't see her on the train. I really miss her. I hope that you guys and her parents will share a common bond of having children and Hogwarts and that you will write to them also. I know this is a big choice, but will you consider moving to London? I'm sure you can get jobs there too. I know it's kind of a big deal to drive on the wrong side of the road, and be more proper and stuff, but I would really like to be able to not have to travel so far during the summer. Also, for christmas break, I would like to stay in Diagon Alley. I think Anna will be there too, and I'm sure that my other friends will also be staying there. Just think about it and let me know what you think. I hope that it doesn't take Addison too long to get to you and that she will come back soon. I love you both so much and I can't wait to see you again. When Addison comes back I'll let her rest for several weeks and then I'll send another owl.
Love,
Raven"
Raven folded the parchment and enclosed it in an envelope. There was no wax seal, but she had some tape in her purse. She taped up the envelope and attatched it to the ring on Addison's leg. "Now, have a good trip, I expect to see you sooner rather than later. I love you, little bit."
Raven was tearing up. This was the first voyage her owl would have to make and it was all the way to America. Raven was slightly concerned but she believed that Addison would be fine. This was Addison's job after all. Raven tearfully waved goodbye as Addison flew out of the owlry and towards her parents home.
