Dearest Mother,


Hope you are well. How is work? Has anything happened recently?

Asha my love,

It is so good to hear from you! Your father and I are both well as can be - missing you of course, but it's been pleasant here. The jasmine vine out the back is in full bloom and smells like a dream. I'm going to tuck a few blossoms in this letter, and hopefully you'll get a hint of it before you come home for the summer.

Work has been work - busy preparing for the final task of the Triwizard Tournament, mostly. I can't say much about that, so don't ask, but I will be there to watch! I did have a trip to America earlier this month to speak with the President of MACUSA about strengthening trans-Atlantic bonds. New York is a fascinatingly alive city, but it didn't smell half as nice as our back garden.

How have you been, sweetheart? How are your classes going?

All my love,
Mum

Dearest Mother,


Thank you for the blossoms. I wonder if the vine smells even better than these blossoms. I hope so. That sounds fun. I haven't really been keeping up with the tournament. Not watching quidditch this year has given me more time to work on some new music and dance moves. I can't wait to come home and show them to you and dad.

America sounds amazing. I want to go there one day. Maybe we can go somewhere there for a family vacation during the holidays.

I have been awsome, like I said earlier I have been working on some new dance moves along with the music. It has sucked since I couldn't watch quidditch this year but the dancing is really paying off for it. Classes well....I guess I could be doing better. It's hard to focus on them. The only class I have that I actually do well is care of magical creatures, but I have always been good with animals. I guess I could focus more, but like I said its difficult. So let's not talk about classes or school anymore, how about more about my new dance moves.

Asha my love,

I'm glad to hear that you've had the chance to work on your music and dance. Dad and I are excited to see them!

A family trip to America would be nice, you're right. We'll see what Daryl's plans are for the summer - he might have new work commitments. But I think we can probably arrange that. Did you have any specific places you wanted to go? Dad suggests a Quodpot game might be fun.

I'm glad that you're doing well in Care of Magical Creatures. There's a lot you can do in that field, if you want to. As for focus - I always found having goals helped me, or a bit of friendly competition. It's OWLs year - if all you can do is focus on the things that will help you towards your career, that's alright. Don't worry about History of Magic!

Love,
Mum

Dearest Mother,


Great I didn't know if you would be or not. I know a lot of people here think it's a waste of time that I should be concentrating on something else. Apparently something I can use in the future or whatever.

Yes family trip. Please I can make Daryl come. He has no plans but this. What is quodpot? Do you have to get on brooms? If so I can't do it.

I just like that class. I really don't plan on doing anything in that field. All the regular jobs that wizards do everyday sounds boring to me. I want dance and sing for a living. Maybe that is why I can't focus on school work? It all seems pointless to me. I could, you know, not come to school everyday and instead focus on music and dancing and the things I do want to do later in life. I can really educate myself on things I need to know.

Asha darling,

I'll make sure to clear a week out my summer schedule for it. Quodpot is more popular than Quidditch in America. It's a broom sport - they have to get a Quaffle that explodes (Quod) into a potion before it explodes to get points. But I meant watching a professional game - no brooms required for that.

You don't have to know what you want to do yet - I didn't, when I was your age. But don't close off options too early, either. Arts is difficult to get into, so having options is wise. That's why you need to work in your classes - and so you can practice in a safe environment. But don't let anyone tell you not to do your dancing and singing. Doing things you enjoy is important. And as long as it makes you happy, I'll always want to know how it's going.

Love,
Mum

Dearest Mother,


Great! As long as I don't have to get on a broom I will be good. I still can't get near one without freaking out. I know but nothing here interests me. That is my problem. I don't know. I just have a lot of thinking to do I guess. It's just a lot to think about. Good, there are a lot of flips and technical some dangerous moves in it, but I can handle them.


Your dearest daughter,
Asha

Asha darling,

Excellent! I've spoken with my colleague in MACUSA, and he's secured us four tickets to go see a match between the Salem Slalomers and the Bellingham Bobcats. He says it's sure to be a match to remember.

I hope your studying is going well, love. I know you don't want to, and I know it's hard, and I know you aren't finding it interesting. Study with a friend, that should help. I'll see you soon, and we can plan the rest of our vacation then!

Love,
Mum
