Dec. 27th
Dear @jamie,
Well, you said to write you to plan Christmas presents stuff, figured we would start early. Make things easier on us next year.
Good excuse, right?
I hope wolfing out this weekend wasn't too bad for you and that you're feeling better. Sorry that I had to go Christmas night, too soon if you ask me. I hope you can forgive me for not sticking around. Just so darn busy you know, royal life and all. Ha!
But really, how are you? By the way, I'm sure now it was you who knocked me in the nose. Or rather, maybe I hope it was.
Well, that didn't sound creepy at all.
--- William

This is an awfully early start, but with a family the size of mine, you can never start too early. Do you get your great-aunt a gift for Christmas? Forgive me for asking, but I think it must be difficult to buy a gift for the Queen of England. What doesn't she have already?
It wasn't all that bad. Kind of a bummer that it was so close to Christmas, but I got more time to recover than usual because of the holiday break. It's really fine that you had to go. There's nothing to be forgiven, Will, really. I'm glad I got to meet you at all. I think I already told you this, but it really was enchanting to meet you.
I'm great. Really happy. I love getting mail! I'm really sorry about the nose - but I think I can safely say that it didn't cause any permanent damage because your face is still beautiful. It didn't sound creepy.
Write soon. @william

Dear Jamie,
Some say that it's never to early to start. Those people also count down Christmas from midnight Dec. 26th... Which I don't think is entirely healthy. Unless you're one of those people and in that case 363 days til Christmas!!!
Yeah, I do get something for the Queen but usually it's like a picture of me and my siblings and it's from all of us so it's pretty easy. She just adds it to her collection, I bet. No use trying to get her anything else. Like you said, she has everything.
I hope Max is doing well? I regret not speaking with her more. What did you get your family members for Christmas this year? Hopefully they got you a visit in the hospital wing and talked some sense into about dancing with some charming Knight and making yourself sick.
Oh yeah, did I tell you I'm knighted? I am, happened about six months ago. My official title is really long now, yikes.
I'm so glad you took time to recover. I hope my writing didn't interrupt that. I'm also glad to be in your good graces. I'm afraid I don't see myself as the enchanting type, but you had that covered for both of us I think. Too bad I didn't actually come all dressed up. You were like a beacon of light compared to me, ha. Long story short I'm glad we met too, well, officially met.
Happiness is ideal! And mail is great fun... Usually I read letters rather late because I'm out and about for work.... Haha, thank you for apologizing. Though, it's not necessary. Quidditch is brutal, I knew that going in. I'm glad my face is still 'befiaful'? Good scribbling work.
I'm actually thinking of leaving my job as a curse breaker at the start of the year... I don't know.
What do you have planned for New Years Eve? We've got this ball my family is throwing.
Tell me your life story,
William
Kidding. Hope to get most of that story out of you in person.

My birthday’s in June, so normally when the Christmas season is over I just begin thinking about how long it is until my birthday. Which sounds like a desperate plea for attention once I write it down, but I promise it’s not weird! Max’s birthday is two days after mine, so I think about that too. Either way, you’re wrong – it’s 364 days until Christmas. Pesky February 29th is coming to haunt us.
That’s good to know, I guess? Though I have to laugh at the Queen having a room/shelf/wall dedicated to pictures of you and your siblings.
Max is great! Well, she probably wouldn’t use that word because she’s rarely as enthusiastic as I am, but I say she’s great. I won’t bore you with the list of gifts I got (I have five siblings, you know, so that would take a while), but my family has never been the one to give the gift of sense. I love them, but we’re all a little wild, even if our wildness only comes in the form of dancing for too long the night before a full moon.
Um, no, you forgot to mention that. Should I call you Sir William now? (I’m hoping Will is still fine, because I would feel a little ridiculous writing letters to Sir William Windsor, Knight of Nottinghamshire.)
Beautiful. Your face is still beautiful. What’s the point in scribbling if you’re going to try to read what I write anyways!?
Why would you do that? Is that too personal of a question?
I’m just going to stay in the Hufflepuff common room, I think. Or maybe I’ll go to Gryffindor tower to be with some of my friends? Nothing special, really. I hope you have fun at your Ball!
Well, when a werewolf loves a Muggle woman very much… Kidding. Kidding. I don’t know when on earth you’ll find time to get the story out of me in person, but I very much look forward to it. @william

Dear Jamie,
June, I'll make a note of it. Birthdays are good! Mine is in September and I will be turning 21 next year. That sounds incredibly old for some reason, but I promise I'm not old. Okay, maybe I am. Some people tell me I am like an old man living in a young mans body... well, guess that can be a compliment.
Awe, leap year! We should celebrate that day. Extra day of life, or something. Just making excuses to come bother you.
Hahah, she normally puts the pictures ina scrapbook, Jamie. Some on the wall, but only the really nice ones or paintings. Yes, there is a painting of me at the palace. You can laugh. I'm all dressed up with medals and everything.
I'm glad she's your version of great, ha! Wild family, eh? I'm afraid wild isn't the best word to describe most of mine, but we are all very, very different. Again, sorry about the dancing for too long... we should probably dance again sometime when you're feeling better so we don't have to worry about that.
Oh, no! Don't call me sure. Nottinghamshire, hahaha! My official title is *clears throat* Sir. Lord William Peter Windsor, Fourth in line to the throne, of Winsdor castle. *does fancy bow*.
But really, that's how I'm introduced at parties. It's... well, I don't mind it. I think it suits me and my beautiful face. Of course I'm going to try to read it, which is why I didn'y scribble my quip above out very well. It's just good fun.
No, not too personal. I brought it up. I just think that I need to be doing something more serious and... focusing more on the muggle side of things.
I think the ball will be nice. You should find some friends to be with, ring in the New year of possibilities. Maybe some of your wild siblings, hah.
Oh lord please, thank you for not explaining. I'll find the time. Trust me.
-
Sir. Lord William Peter Windsor the blah blah blah

September? I’ll make a note of it, haha. Twenty-one doesn’t sound incredibly old. If it were twenty-two, though, I think you’d be in trouble. Eventually I’m going to be a young woman living in an old woman’s body, if that makes you feel any better.
We should! The full moon is a full five days before, so you’ll be able to see me in tip-top shape, for once! We don’t need a reason to celebrate, but I think that an extra day of life is a good one.
If there is a heist in the near future in which this painting of you gets stolen from the palace, it definitely wasn’t me. Just so you know.
I wouldn’t expect a family of royals to be all that wild, to be honest. Sometimes I wonder if the reason we all turned out the way we did is because people were expecting us to be a certain way. There were a lot of whispers the day a Greyback got Sorted into Hufflepuff, you know. I guess you were there! Ha, I keep forgetting that for some reason.
Ooh, fancy! But I’m definitely not going to be writing all of that down. How is Claire going to be introduced when she goes to the Ball with you? Or is she not going to be introduced at all?
If you’re going to get cocky about your beautiful face, I might have to revoke my comment, you know. Tread carefully, Sir Lord.
Is Cursebreaking not considered serious? Because I consider my sister a pretty serious person. Oh! Do you know Odette? Are you two friends? Or do you not work together all that often?
I’ll see if Max wants to spend the New Year with me, then. Normally I’d probably ask Ed, too, but since he’s going to be with you at the Ball that would be kind of silly.
Did they not teach you the birds and the bees at Windsor Castle, Will? I do trust you, and I look forward too when you’ll manage to pop up and surprise me. @william

Dear Jamie,
Lots of note taking. Maybe I'll just highlight parts of your letters that I think are important to remmeber... but I'd probably just highlight all of it to be honest. Hah, well, maybe the difference in the ages of our souls is a good thing. We can balance each other out enough to function like normal people.
Oh, all right! tip-top shape sounds nice. Not- that. Nevermind. Anyway, yes, celebrating. Good. Done. Happening.
February is so far away, hah.
!!! You're going to steal my painting!!!
Yeah, we all kind of act how you'd expect, except for Ed. But that's kind of his point. I don't really remember any whispers about you, to be honest. I had my own things to deal with at school - no offense- and some rumors about a person I didn't know didn't matter to me. In all honesty, though, I'm glad I didn't hear them. I wasn't the best person back in school. I probably would have found some reason to join the crowd in gossiping about it. Luckily, I dodged that bullet. To be honest I was kind of pining after a girl and lost my head for a bit there, haha. It seems like it was around the same time.
Yes, it's a rather long title. Claire will probably just be on my arm and introduced after me as 'and Claire Slater'. That'll pretty much be it. I'm excited to take her, it's going to be fun.
Treading carefully, got it.
Cursebreaking for the bank is serious, I guess, and important, but it's not really... I don't know, it doesn't affect what I want to affect. Oh! Odette! Yes, I know Odette. We're friends, not the best of friends though. We don't really work together that much since I have a partner I work with, Adam. He's mute, and awesome. But yeah, Odette is pretty cool. So weird that she's your sister. I hope she doesn't kill me for writing you.
I know plenty about the birds and the bees, thank you very much. Hah, not that I'm bragging about anything. Anyway, anywaay. Yeah, I think I will find time to surprise you. Can werewolves even be surprised, though? Don't you have like a heightened sense of smell?
- William

You’re cute. I didn’t bring a highlighter with me to Hogwarts since we normally just use ink and parchment, and highlighters smudge the ink like there’s no tomorrow! You probably know that, though. Look at me, explaining a highlighter to a Muggleborn! I feel silly. We sound a little hippy-dippy with the whole ‘age of our souls’ thing, but I think I agree. We’d balance each other out nicely.
February is very far away, true. Though I know a lot of people are already preparing for Valentine’s Day. Wow, that seemed like a really thinly veiled hint. It wasn’t supposed to be one!
I never said that! I just said that if it were to go missing, it wasn’t me. And the Hufflepuff common room will not suddenly have a portrait that doesn’t move. Nope.
No offense taken. It’s nice to know that people didn’t really care as much as I thought. I mean, obviously there are people who did care, but. It’s nice that we live in a day and age where I’m allowed to go to school at all. Pining after a girl? Were you really so much of a romantic that you would pine? I’m not judging if you were, but I’ve discovered recently that people use that word lightly when it’s a serious thing to actually pine.
Too bad. I wouldn’t want to be introduced as ‘and Jamie Greyback’. I’ll think of a title for myself! Though I might need your help for finding a title that sounds all official.
I think I get that. I considered going into the Ministry for a while, for anti-discrimination stuff, but I realized it would probably be better if I could affect public opinion in a different way.
Is he awesome because he’s mute? Kidding. Mostly. I can’t imagine being stuck with you for hours and not being able to talk to you, so bless him for doing that as a job.
Werewolves can be surprised! I kind of tune everything extra-sensory out, otherwise it gets annoying. And I learn things that I really didn’t want to know, if you catch my drift. Now that I’m expecting to be surprised, is it really surprising? @william

Dear Jamie,
Cute? Well, I am the pride of the royal family. Kidding, not really. And you're right... a highlighter would not make sense. Ignore that. Well, glad our souls are friends then, right?
Valentine's Day. Funny story, I've only been in a relationship during the holiday ONCE. It was fun, though. We basically just did what we did every day, though, hahaha. I didn't assume it was a veiled hint, but now I might
Oh, well, in that case, I won't search the Hufflepuff Common Room. Sounds like it'd be a waste of time.
I'm very glad that you are able to go to school. It's a great place to be, and you deserve it!
Okay, okay... maybe it wasn't 'pining'. But I did skip meals when I knew where I could bump into her in the halls, and I also may or may not have been a stalker a little bit. I figured it out, though. I mean, I got the girl. It was fun, while it lasted.
Hmm... yeah, titles are hard. Especially when you're trying to hide that your date is a witch, hah. Let's see... for you... Wow, I'm really at a loss right now. I think I'm just tired. It's late. But here I am, writing anyway. This is fun.
I agree, I think showing the public in a different way is a great idea. Just showing that you can do anything. Which I believe you can.
Hah, well, it is kind of awesome that he's a mute. We like to freak people out by pretending that he's offended by people not realizing it. He thinks it's pretty hilarious. I can sign well enough that we're fine, though. We both don't talk much on the job anyway. Oh- I get it. YOU want to talk to me. Hah, I'm slow tonight. I agree, being with you and not being able to talk to you would be torture.
Maybe that is a form of torture people use!!! They put you in a room with someone you really like want to talk to and then make it so you can't. Ooh, that's awful.
Oh, well, in that case... that's good to know. Surprising is my specialty. Trust me, you'll still be surprised.
-- William

The pride of the royal family can be cute! Though personally I think the two are totally unrelated. I’m not going to ignore it, because it was a good idea – just a little flawed given the materials we use. Maybe when I’m home for the summer I’ll type you letters for the sole purpose of you being able to highlight them! Then again, I don’t anticipate being in a Muggle house. Nix that idea.
I’ve never been in a relationship on Valentine’s Day, so I have you beat! I had one serious girlfriend, but we got together in May and broke up in November – so no Valentine’s Day for us. Okay, let’s forget what I said about veiled hints. Boop! I Obliviated you. All done.
Okay, that’s totally pining. I revoke my previous comment, because if you skipped meals just to see her…wow. You got the girl, but do you still have her? Retention of a relationship is important. I mean, since you’re going to the Ball with Claire maybe not? Unless that was Claire and you’re still together. I’m confusing myself, so I’ll stop now.
Ooh, yeah, hiding magic must make things a lot harder. “Rulers of canines” should be a title. You know, because wolves are like, the alpha canine? If it’s late you shouldn’t be writing, you should be sleeping! …Which I write as it’s late and I’m writing you. Awkward.
I was wondering if you were ever going to realize it, haha! That would be a not-nice form of torture. Which is the point of torture, but still! I think I’d probably die if I had to do that. I’m not a huge talker all the time, but when I want to talk, boy do I talk! Same thing with writing, which is why my letters sometimes end up looking like novels. Sorry about that.
I look forward to it. @william

Dear Jamie,
All right, I'll accept being cute. I like seeing your handwriting, though. Typing could be fun but it's so impersonal, you know? But the ability to highlight is nice... but, as you said, highlighting the whole letter seems a bit pointless and that's what I'd do, so. But- where are you staying after you graduate? You seem unsure. I guess you do have me beat on the Valentines day issue. Who was she? If you don't mind my asking, I mean. Oh, suddenly I seemed to have forgotten something about... hints. Good thing I don't have it written down somewhere.
Yeah, it was just a major teenage crush. I don't have her any more, though, but that was a mutual decision. It was Claire, actually, but we're just friends now.
"Rulers of Canines", haha, that's good! I did end up going to sleep, though, which is why I'm not writing back til this morning. Sorry to keep you waiting, haha!
Hey, I like your novels. Don't you dare make them any shorter.
I find it's easier for me to say more if I'm writing it down. Granted, I should really write a rough draft first, though. So I don't make a fool of myself.
What are your New Years Eve plans?
- Will

I don’t know where I’m staying after graduation, to be honest. My mom and I had a falling out over the summer and I’d rather not go back there. I spent the rest of the summer with my brother, but I don’t really want to impose upon him if I can avoid it. I’ll figure something out!
Do you know Harper Weasley? She was a Gryffindor, the year above me. We stopped dating because she had work outside of the country and long-distance relationships aren’t fun. She was changing, anyways, so I’m glad we split up amicably, before that could become more of an issue.
Teenage crushes do tend to be rather major, at least in my opinion. Good to hear you’re just friends! I mean…still friends. I didn’t cross it out because I knew you were going to read it anyways, in case you were wondering that.
I doubt anyone else would understand it, though. It’s okay – I wholly support any decision that involves sleeping, in most situations. I can also be patient when I want to be. It’s in the job description for Hufflepuffs, after all.
Wait, you said you like my novels? Does this mean I have permission to ramble as much as possible? I rather think it does…
Writing rough drafts takes too much time, in my opinion. You couldn’t make a fool of yourself if you tried, Will.
Right now, still nada. I might just wait in some corridor somewhere so I’m not surrounded by a bunch of snogging couples, because, ew. It's fun to kiss someone, but not to watch someone else get kissed.

Dear Jamie,
Oh, well, I'm sorry about that. I would welcome you hear but I'm not sure we've reached that point in our friendship yet, hah. I'll help you figure something out. I bet a lot of people graduating will be looking for roommates. Or even ones who have already graduated. A lot of people didn't go back home, from what I know. I bet we could find someone.
Yeah, I know of Harper. She is only a little younger than me. Long-distance relationships are hard, for sure. I'm glad this isn't that big of a distance. I mean- to start a friendship and all. Yeah, change can make things hard, too. I'm afraid I won't do much changing, I'm pretty set in my ways.
Still friends, just friends, both are good things. I'm glad that you're glad. So lots of gladness, I guess.
Sleep is amazing and needed. Patience is not one of my strongest suits, in all honesty... but as I said, I'm practicing. Sort of. Maybe you can teach me. I'm just always in a hurry to get things done.
Yes, ramble away. Ramble! And I'm sure I could make a fool of myself, and have... granted, I've sort of been trained from birth NOT to do that, so. I must be pretty good at not looking foolish, eh?
Ick, snogging couples. Good times. Maybe you could write me your thoughts and feelings about the snogging and all it's glory? Maybe some surprising gossip about who kisses who? Hah.

I’ll figure it out! I don’t want to stay in a big castle anyways. Though it would be a good way to organize my heist! But anyways, do you know anyone who’s in need of a roommate? I wouldn’t mind it, especially since I’m used to having someone else around at school and all. Even if you don’t, I can ask around.
Yeah, long-distances relationships of any kind are hard. I know of one of my friends whose boyfriend is in Brazil, but they seem to be doing fine, which is good. London isn’t that far from Hogwarts, right? For friendship purposes, of course. I feel like I’ve heard something about changing – oh, right! ‘A woman marries a man expecting that he will change, and a man marries a woman expecting that she will never change. They’re both wrong.’ I think that’s silly, personally. If you’re going to marry someone, you should love them for who they are and who they’re going to become, not one or the other.
Yes, maybe I can teach you a thing or two about patience. I would wait to send this letter, but in all honesty, I wouldn’t want to wait for it, either.
Meanwhile, I’ve been trained by birth on how to play Chubby Bunny. My mother loved that game, and she wanted desperately for me to be some sort of Chubby Bunny champion. It didn’t work out, since there aren’t actually real competitions for that.
Snogging – well, kissing – can be fun if you do it with the right person. If you want gossip, I’ll give you gossip. But don’t ask for what you don’t want! @william

Dear Jamie,
I have no doubt that you'll get this all worked out. It's not the biggest castle, though. It's technically a summer castle, like a... vacation spot, but we live here now. Hahaha, the heist, yes! I will just pretend I'm not looking. As for who is looking... I'll have to ask around and see what I can get my hands on information wise. You should ask some of the kids graduating with you... what about Odette? I'm not sure if she's really the type but it's an idea.
Brazil!? Oh, are they dating Phil? I know Phil, great kid. I'm glad they're doing well. I actually don't know who he is dating right now... didn't even know he was dating someone. Good for him. But yeah, you and I are only like 500 miles away or something, that's not that bad. Yeaaah that changing when you get married thing is pretty silly. You shouldn't expect anything out of them, just love them, you know? Yeah, like you said, love them for who they are now and later. Agreed.
I'm glad you didn't make me wait for this letter. I might have cried. Hah, kidding, but yeah- teach my patience another way, please?
Chubby Bunny! With the marshmallows? I used to play as a kid but... haven't in many moons.
I agree, kissing can be very fun. Bring on the gossip, Jamie Greyback. Bring. It. On.
I hope to see you soon. But, it's going to be a surprise, like I said. Just need to decide when.
