Hogwarts RPG Name: Sophia Svensson #556B2F Slytherin Fifth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Eulalia Walles (#F48037) Hufflepuff Fourth Year | Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE! SHE FOUND IT! Despite it being probably the farthest point of the castle from the Hufflepuff common room, Isabella had managed to find the Owlery. Huffing and puffing from climbing up the steps, she leaned against a dirty old desk before trying to get an owl to mail her letter. Whew. Her mother would be so proud of her for making it through the week. Having caught her breath, she went to gingerly approach an owl, patting her pockets until she remembered which pocket she had put her letter in.
Isabella pulled the slightly wrinkled piece of parchment out of her pocket and opened it so she could double-check what she had written. No spelling errors, no bad grammar... and she hadn't forgotten anything, at least not from her quick glance. Right. Her brothers and parents would be pleased to hear from her, and she had only said good things. Yes, it was a good letter home. SPOILER!!: Letter to the Melos
Dear Mama and Papa,
I am a Hufflepuff now! Everybody is so nice in Hufflepuff! I am already friends with the other first year girls who I share a dorm room with. I've gotten lost several times, but people help me get un-lost eventually. I went to all my classes. They were fine.
Love,
Isabella
Dear Paul, Gabe, and Raf-
Hogwarts is so excellent! The ceiling of the great hall is enchanted, it looks like the sky! When I first got here, I thought it was made of stars. Did you know there is a hidden swimming pool? I haven't found it yet, but a professor told me about it, so some day I will find it!
I have not been able to fly at all, since (as you know) first years don't get to bring their brooms. I will write again soon with more exciting news! I haven't really accomplished anything but going to class so far.

P.S. Mama and Papa, can I get my own owl?
Satisfied with her letter and after letting the postscript dry, Isabella smoothed the parchment as best she could and folded it up. She spotted an attentive-looking brown owl, timidly attached her letter to its leg, and watched it fly away. She couldn't wait to get mail from her parents' reply! Hopefully the letter would come at breakfast so she could get mail in the great hall with all the other students.
Sighing contentedly, Isabella returned her quill to her pocket and headed back down the Owlery stairs. |
