@jamie , Whatever floats their boat, I suppose. You’re just being a good sibling is all, watching out for the younger ones. They’re bound to hate you for that at some point, though I wouldn’t take it to heart. I definitely get on everyone’s nerves so I understand it. Oh! Her! She’s pretty good isn’t she? And totally understandable about the family ties thing. Have to make a name for yourself first, right? See, I told her to talk to her students more, and here she is treating all of you like kids! I’m sure she only took my advice with a grain of salt, seeing as I’m not very useful with anything aside from getting drunk. But Im is great once you get to know her. As everyone should, since I’m the best. Do you like dogs? I have a dog. Hopefully that makes you like me more. If Elias wins that little tournament thing, he won’t have time to go. And a possessive cousin? That sounds a little weird. I don’t come across as possessive do I? Bar-hopping is easy. Go hard or go home. And going home is not an option.

I’m trying to be a good sibling, and that’s all I can really claim at the moment. I’m kind of hoping that all of the years we didn’t spend together will count towards the time they spent hating me, but even if not… You don’t get on my nerves that much. It’s much easier to talk to you in letters, without someone else around.
Yes, she is good! She’s a Beater, which is really cool. I kind of wanted to try contacting a Chaser, because that’s what I play, but then I realized that getting multiple perspectives is never a bad thing. It’s not making a name for myself so much as cleaning up the name I already have. Greyback isn’t exactly an easy surname to deal with.
I mean…We are kids, aren’t we? Some of the seventh years are adults, of course, but even with the name adults most of us have no idea what to do with our lives. Bad part about teachers is that you can’t ever really get to know them, because it’s “unprofessional” or whatever. But I’m glad you like her.
I’m fine with dogs, though I am interested to see what kind of dog you, of all people, would have. Is it a weird hairless one?
I’m not going to hold out hope that Elias will win, especially given his performance in the first task. If you met Maria (his cousin) you’d know what I mean. I don’t think you seem possessive? But we also haven’t had a situation where you would need to possess anything, if that makes sense.
…I’m scared. mina pandora oliveira

@jamie , Psssh I’m sure they all like you. And if they, oh well. Even full blood relations don’t get along sometimes. It happens. It’s fine if I get on your nerves. Doesn’t bother me too much. Been told that every day of my life. Well it is now that your brother is a champion. And once you’re a pro player as well. People will change, I’m sure. Like we already talked about, werewolves are slowly becoming more accepted. It’ll only be a matter of time where Greyback is reference to you, or any of your siblings. I think Im is secretly a kid at heart still, and she tries to act tough and strict to hide that. It’s too bad you’ll be graduating since she’ll probably warm up in the next few years. Hell no! She’s a graceful, giant ball of white fluff that really needs an attitude adjustment. As long as you don’t steal any hot people from me, then we’ll be fine. Don’t be. It’s not all that bad. Having zero responsibilities and letting loose is wonderful.

Family is so interesting. And really, you don’t get on my nerves. You’re more interesting than most people I talk to, and since you’re interesting, even your less amazing traits are acceptable.
Even so, is it any better to be Elias Greyback’s sister than Fenrir Greyback’s daughter? Not to rag on Elias or anything, but he didn’t exactly do well in the First Task, and he kind of reinforced a lot of the things about werewolves not being as good as regular wizards. Are you glad that your mom was Fenrir’s sister, and your dad wasn’t his brother? Then you’d have the last name, too.
I’ll keep that in mind if (when?) I talk to her, and maybe pass your advice onto the other kids in my house, so that eventually someone likes her.
Sounds like the perfect animal for you.
I won’t be stealing any hot people, trust me. I’m talking to a girl – like, in the romantic sense – so not interested in ruining that by sleeping around or whatever.
I don’t think I’m good at letting loose. mina pandora oliveira

@jamie , Less amazing traits? Do tell. I swear I won’t be mad. It would probably explain why I scare off all prospective suitors. That and actually wanting those kinds of things in the first place help keep people around. He’s just like you. He has a lot to live up to, and to show people that the last name doesn’t mean anything for the lot of you. Does it really change much what our last name is? Four of my family members are still werewolves, and that’s enough to scare anyone away. Obviously the murderous psychopath of a father does…maybe you’re right. I might not understand it as much as I thought. We’re all still related to him in some way though. Oooooh totally push her buttons, as long as you don’t mind getting a detention or two from it. She’ll kill me if she finds out I’m manipulating her students. That would be awesome. Everyone says that. I don’t understand why. Congrats! I usually ruin that by doing that sleeping around or whatever. Oops. It happens. First mistake is people thinking it’s serious in the first place, when it clearly isn’t. Pretty sure there needs to be a mutual agreement on that before it can be a real commitment, and this one isn’t doing that anytime soon. No one thinks they are until they actually are. Trust me (even if that sounds like a bad idea, I do know what I’m talking about sometimes).

Well, you let my little sister meet you as a stranger in Hogsmeade, which I am not a fan of, since it encourages her to trust any old person who sends a letter claiming to be a long-lost relative. We both know there are relatives I’d rather not have her meet. Also, I’m pretty sure you’re an alcoholic, so there’s that.
It really does matter a lot what the last name is, Mina. Your surname could just be a coincidence – there is no coincidentally being named Greyback. Two of the boys, plus me, are wolves, and then if you count Fenrir, we have four wolves, too. I don’t mean to minimize your relationship to him or anything, but count your blessings or whatever.
I would prefer not to have detention. I want to be able to graduate with a clean record. Find some other students to manipulate – people here seem to respond really well to anonymous owls.
Maybe everyone says it because it’s true.
Do you ever want to settle down with anyone, ever? Or are you just going to sleep around for the rest of your life? I could find you a nice boy (or girl, if that’s more your pace) to ease you into the domestic life.
Okay…I guess…We’ll see what happens when it gets to be the summer, I guess. mina pandora oliveira

@jamie , I knew it was you mum! You’re taking Polyjuice potions again to teach me a lesson aren’t you? Kidding! Hopefully little Max learned a lesson from that then. The only danger I pose is to myself, as long as the people with me understand that they’re responsible for their own well-being and not to rely on me. As for the drinking, yeah that’s a problem. But I only have one life to live, so why not make the most of it right? Leaves a little mystery for me to solve almost every day of the week. What did I do the night before? How much did I spend? How much did I drink? Who’d I sleep with? Makes me sound like a whore, but I don’t really care. Weird isn’t it? Getting someone like me that’s self-aware of her flaws? Mental, I know. Eh. They’re all related to me and Sarah. Isn’t that bad enough at the end of the day? At least Koda is our shining light to normalcy at times. Sure, none of us have murdered anyone or sired possibly thousands of children (though who knows with Sarah), but I understand where you’re coming from. Boo no fun. I have lots of fond memories in detention. Good times. And do they really respond to anonymous letters? Interesting. Maybe I’ll try my hand at that someday. Find a secret lover. That’d be fun. My attitude is perfectly fine, thank you very much. Titania (that’s the doggo), is just stubborn. That’s it. I don’t think I’m made for it, and it definitely isn’t made for me. Know anyone that bounces off the walls constantly while at school? Always agitated by everything or trying to run off and do crazy things just for a change of pace? That was me. Which was also why I ran off to the United States as soon as I could. Maybe if that person was fine tagging along on my travels, but even then I don’t see it happening. Oh we’ll see all right. Tequila is really good for that.

Werewolves can’t use Polyjuice Potion, so if I was your mother in disguise, it wouldn’t be because of the potion. Just a fun fact.
I sometimes wonder how much of what lessons I try to teach Max actually gets through to her. I’m trying to be a good big sister and teach her about life and other things, but I don’t think I’m succeeding very well. A lot of stuff has happened lately that makes me doubt that I’m actually a positive influence in her life, you know? Maybe you don’t know, because like you said, your position in people’s lives isn’t to take care of them. I guess you being a danger to yourself is better than being a danger to others, though I hope you’re not a whore. I don’t want any more cousin-babies (which is what I’m electing to call them since I don’t remember the technical term, if we discussed it earlier).
Yeah, it is kind of weird, if you want me to be honest. Most people like you deny that there’s a problem at all.
I’ll give you being related to Sarah, but so far, you don’t seem like too bad of a relative to have. I doubt that Fenrir sired thousands of children… How many people do you honestly think want to sleep with a monster man? From what I can tell, most of my siblings’ mothers were drunk or otherwise unable to fully consent to what he did. Not that you wanted to know that.
Of course you have fun in detention. But yeah, I’ve had a couple anonymous letters responded to. Do you really want a secret lover? That doesn’t seem like a very you thing.
You call your dog a ‘doggo’?
I don’t really know anyone like that, but I can pretend that I do, if it makes you feel any better. Does Professor Zhu want to travel with you? You should ask her.
Aren’t you suppose to drink tequila with limes? mina pandora oliveira

@jamie , You’re sharp! I knew that. Obviously. There’s only so much you can do. If she doesn’t want to listen to your advice, then so be it. The smart thing to do would be to weigh her options with both your input and her own beliefs. Eww. That makes me sound like I think things through. Don’t let my siblings ever see this. Ha! I play it up like I get around more than I actually do. Makes it easier to explain over waking up in an alleyway or on a park bench. Those people crash and burn way before they realize what they want. I already know what I want, so I can do whatever. Well you said it yourself. If your siblings’ mothers were in that state, who’s to say there aren’t more and simply don’t realize it? Uncle might not even know. Maybe thousands is pushing it, but he’s old as hell, so he’s had some time to, ya know, get around. Explore the world. Guess he’s bit of a man-whore. Must run in the family. If I never had to meet them, then sure. I’m afraid I disappoint most once the charade is up. Well she very well isn’t that much of a pupper anymore so yeah. She’s a doggo. Nah she’d get tired of me too fast. I’d give it two weeks tops of dragging my drunk ass back to wherever before she would have too much of it. Are you? I drink it out of the bottle.

Not sharp, just overly interested in potions and anything to do with lycanthropy. Obsessive might be closer to the truth.
I know that there’s only so much I can do… But I think I’ll always want to do more. You’re a big sister – you know how it feels, right? Or maybe you don’t, because we’re very different people. That’s the biggest thing I’ve learned from these letters. We’re related, but blood hasn’t done anything to make us more similar people. Guess it proves that nurture is more important than nature. I’ll be sure to hide any and all correspondence of ours from your siblings, so that you can continue to live your carefree life.
So what is it that you want? If you don’t mind me asking.
I guess that logic makes sense, though I feel kind of dirty thinking about it. My real question is, how does he keep himself disease-free if he insists on sleeping around so much? That would be an awful way to come down with something. He has had time to get around, but that also implies that he wanted to get around. I almost wonder if children were a part of his plan. If he wanted to make us join his army or something when the time is right. Also, man-whore? Is that what Dakoda is?
…I’m going to pretend I know the difference between those two terms.
Have you ever actually asked her, or are you making an assumption? Because assumptions can be wrong. And I want you to be able to spend time with your friends… Especially if it keeps her from assigning work over the summer. I just realized I don’t have to worry about summer work anymore, actually, so do whatever you want – ask her or don’t.
You’re the alcohol expert, not me. mina pandora oliveira

@jamie , Better to know about yourself than not, right? Yeah, I kind of follow the advice I put in the last letter. Let them live their lives as they see fit. Not my place to judge what they want to do. If they need my help, then I’ll give it. Though I’d say asking the older ones for it would be a better choice. I’m not always financially stable nor available. Especially weekend mornings. Hangovers are a bitch. You’d think I’d have gotten used to them by now. Nope. I want to do whatever I feel like doing in the moment. Obviously I can’t run halfway across the world if I don’t have the money, so I am kind of realistic about it. I royally screwed up at Hogwarts by not taking classes seriously, so now I’m working on studying in my free time, though that still costs money for books and materials. Personal army…probably. I’ve always equated him to the same as those blood purists. Similar concept, though they’d probably hate each other if they ever came into contact. In the end they want to eradicate certain groups, so maybe they do like each other. Who knows? And Koda can be whatever he wants. Lately he seems to have settled down, so he’s really not that much of one anymore. If you want to know why she’s strict with her students, it’s probably all because of me. Whoops. Sorry about that. I personally don’t see how anyone could derive pleasure from helping out a drunk person all the time, unless they had a savior complex. Pretty sure Im isn’t one of those. She’s just a great friend, is all. Damn straight I am.

Yup, definitely better to know. It just sucks a little bit. When I was younger, I knew that I – or rather, the wolf – was dangerous… but it’s a little saddening to know just how dangerous that is.
That sounds absolutely terrifying. Maybe it’s that I didn’t grow up with my siblings, but I feel like if I take a more hands-off approach, they think that I don’t care. I’m also not entirely sure that any of my siblings would ask for my help if they need it. Most of them are the brooding type, as you could probably tell when you met Max. I’d talk to your older siblings, but I’m a little worried that they’re the brooding type, too. Also, a great cure for hangovers is not to drink so much. Just a thought.
Carpe diem type thing? I wish I could do whatever the hell I felt like without having a panic attack about it. I swear, I have to plan everything, even time to relax. Also… you work in a bookstore. Couldn’t you just take the book behind the counter with you and read it on your breaks? You wouldn’t have to buy it since it’s never leaving the premises, and that would save you money.
If he wanted a personal army, bullying the people who raised us and biting us against our will is not a great way to cultivate a positive relationship. He really needs to work on his tactics if he wants to get anywhere.
Settle down in what way?
Ha! I’ll be sure to tell all the students who dislike her that it’s all my cousin’s fault – that’ll make me the most popular kid in the school, I’m sure. As for Professor Zhu not having a savior complex, you never know with some people. I think I’ve been told I have a god complex before… to be honest, I’m not entirely sure what that means, nor how it applies to me. mina pandora oliveira

@jamie , It’s only truly dangerous if you let it be. Like my parents would take Koda and Sarah and go somewhere far away from the rest of us during full moons. They knew what could and would happen if they stayed around. Obviously Wolf’s Bane helps a lot too, but they couldn’t always get that back then soooo… If you really care, then they’ll know it, even if they act like they think you don’t. Take Callisto, the one I live with, for example. I piss her off loads, but even past all the yelling she does at me, I still know she loves me. Maybe that is a thing you learn growing up with siblings. I don’t know what it’s like without them. Never! I like my drinks and they like me. On occasion. Yeah, but when I’m not working and not drinking (Surprise! That happens sometimes too), I need something to read. I think it’s better to have my own copies anyways. I get those discounts we talked about, and since I can only use them every so often it’s better to use them on myself if I really need it. Plus I get that nice little employee discount on top of it. Makes it relatively cheap in the end. There are some sick and twisted people out here Jamie. You would think someone wouldn’t want to join the person that turned them. Fenrir manages it somehow though. I get told I’m a drunk and an idiot all the time. Unfortunately both of those are true…

As I think you can already tell, I have no intention of letting myself be dangerous. I try to get as far away as possible, but something’s already happened, and… Well, anyways, I think it would be a lot easier to be a werewolf without wolf’s bane when you have a pack, because then you can… I don’t know, go hunting together? Or wrestle each other instead of just hurting yourself? Maybe I’m overthinking things.
That seems unnecessarily complicated. Why can’t people just say how they feel? Communication is key in so many situations, and it seems to me like everyone would be a lot happier if they knew where they stood with everyone else in their life, instead of having to read vague social cues or whatever. I think I’m good at reading people, but even then I think I read too much into things.
Maybe this is a stupid question, but do you ever drink on the job? I mean, you’re probably not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t do it, right? And I still think that you should hook me up with some books. If only I had known about this before buying all my textbooks for this year.
…You know, Mina, I think I liked you better when you were just a drunk party girl and didn’t make me scared about my future. mina pandora oliveira

@jamie , Wrestling sounds fun…do you think you can turn me? That would be fun! Kidding. I like the way I am. Plus I think I would be too worried about hurting my muggle friends. They don’t even know where I live or what I do for a job, so keeping more secrets from them wouldn’t be cool. Because people are afraid of admitting how they really feel, in case the other person doesn’t want to hear it? Total transparency sounds awesome in theory, but trust me, I do not want to hear everything that my boss thinks about me. I try not to. If I really need it, I’ll drink a few hours before going in. Hair of the dog, ya know? The few times I’ve slipped a flask in, it’s usually a quiet day and the boss is on a business trip. He hates it when I take smoke breaks sooooo yeah. Not going to push the drinking thing too much. I like my job. Easy solution: become a drunk party girl too, and then you won’t have to worry about anything. Other than finding your way home after a night out. Or from some random person’s house.
