BRANDON. HI.

What's up, man? Sorry I didn't write at all last month, I was insanely busy getting the last songs on my album recorded. It should have been out there around... last week? Did you see it? One of our duets is on there so I'm sure you did. I'll give you a cut of the check ASAP. How are you? How are things doing? Sorry I didn't write much... I alreadddyy said that.

Anyway, I'm thinking we should get to work on some more songs soon. Lyric wise, I'm drawing a blank. Kind of hard when your muse is... fuzzy. How is your muse treating you? Sorry to hear about the Ministry girl. She seemed a little uptight, if you ask me. But hey, hey, whatever is going on with you now is awesome, I'm sure. Me... well, it's going to come as a bit of a surprise but I've decided to ask someone to marry me. Her names Bristol and I think you'd really like her... maybe you'll get to meet her sometime soon.

But, seriously, I need some inspiration. What's inspiring you lately? Keep me posted. This stuff always came so naturally to you.

Oh my goodness, you're graduating this month!!! That must be crazy! Then you'll be free to make music with me all the time, mwahahaha!

Hey Zander!

No problem. I know you’ve been busy with your music and stuff. That’s got to come first, I understand. I didn’t realize you finished the album .... I’m going to have to look it up so I can hear our song! (It still feels unreal to know I’ve already recorded a song, to be totally honest.)

I’m doing well! Coming up with new music and finishing up school. I can’t wait to be done with it all, even though I’m probably going to miss it. Was it weird for you not going to school this last year?

Yes! I would love to start writing with you again! I’m not really having a problem with music right now, but I’m sure if we get together both of us will have good muse. I think mine is good partially because of Rosie. Remember her? We kind of reconnected a little while ago and I started taking her on dates. I’m hoping she’ll agree to be my girlfriend before graduation but I’m too much of a wimp to ask her so far. She helped me get over Callisto though, which was nice.

Congratulations! I’m so happy for you. How did you meet her? How long have you known her? I’d love to meet her. Right now Rosie’s my inspiration, but I’ll let you know when new inspiration strikes.

Man, I can’t wait to work with you once I graduate. It’s going to be awesome!!

Brandon,

I'm glad you understand that the music is important. You of all people should be able to understand that! And no worries about not knowing the album had already come out. It isn't in major places yet... And you've been in school! So no worries there.

I'm glad you've been coming up with new music and finishing up school! You are going to love being graduated. The adult world is pretty welcoming, and I think you will fit right into it. Not that I am much of an adult, haha. You are going to miss school, I did. It was kind of weird not going to school, but there was so much going on in my life that I honestly didn't really notice it, you know?

Awesome! We should definitely get some lyric ideas going. I was actually thinking of coming back to London... Maybe even moving back. I'm glad you don't have any trouble with music right now, thanks to Rosie. Yeah, I do remember her! She is a total sweetheart. You guys would make a good match. No drama, and that's nice.

Thank you! Well, we were pen pals while I was at Hogwarts. So we have known each other for a while, but didn't meet in person until this January. It just feels right you know? I don't know, people will say I'm crazy but it's fine. I've always been told that.

I am excited too! I'm afraid my inspiration kind of died along with some other things.

Zander,

Of course I understand. But I am glad that I haven’t missed the album coming out. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for it.

Well with that excitement I’m excited for graduation. It’ll be interesting to see how it works for me, but with all your contacts I’m sure thing’ll work out. Are you still thinking about us making that band? I guess not going back to school will just be like a prolongues summer ... with work. I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Wait ... you might come to London? Not to get excited prematurely, but that’d be awesome!! Even if it’s just for a visit, I’d love to see you again man. And you could reconnect with Rosie too if you want. She’s great and easy to get along with and just so sweet. I’m really hoping it’ll go somewhere.

I’m happy for you. It doesn’t matter what other people think, as long as she makes you happy. You deserve to be happy. Have you been getting any more inspiration since you met her? I know things have been rough the last year or so.

Brandon,

Yes, you should be excited for graduation. I don't remember much about the last 2 months of school, to be honest, what with being kidnapped and Bay dying and everything. It's hard to remember a lot when you were in such a place of darkness, you know?

Goodness. That got deep really fast! My apologies. Anyway, you are going to love being graduated. The world is out here with open arms waiting for you, Brandon, and you will thrive in it I know that.

Yes, we should still get a band together! Do you know anyone at school and might be interested? 3 is a magic number I always say. We need some percussion and definitely another voice would be nice ... let me know if you have any ideas ,for now just the duo will be just fine and awesome.

Yes, I'm going to ask Bristol what she thinks about moving to England but I think that she will agree. It would be best for both of us I think it would be fun to spend some time with you and Rosie this summer! If y'all dont mind double dating with a married couple

She does make me happy. That may be part of the muse issue, though. I don't really feel like I'm wrestling with anything... That always makes muse easier. Not that I'm not grateful for a happy life.

Zander,

I can only imagine. I don't know what I would've done in your place, but I'm glad that things are getting better for you. I'm happy that you found Bristol. If you're so sure I'll do well, I'm sure you're right.

Well ... did you ever know Lance Linley? I ran into him at Dominic Maestros a while ago and he was playing the drums ... do you want me to talk to him about it? He might be interested. Until then, I'm good with the duo. 

Man, just let me know if you move here. It'd be awesome to run into you. I mean, this year has been really weird without you, since I've been back at Hogwarts and all. Is that how you felt when I left? I never even really thought about that ... my bad. I wouldn't mind doubling with you at all! I don't think Rosie would either, but I'll check with her sometime ... if we ever become official.

Well maybe moving back to London will give you a little bit of drama ... I don't know. I'll see if I can't help you with your muse. Maybe you just need to hear something new and it'll give you some ideas? We'll figure it out.

@brandon,

Things are better, thank you. They're amazing. I'm sure that things will be amazing for you too. Oh! Lance! Yes, I know who that is. Oh! And we should talk to Bernard, too. He plays the drums, too! That could be fun. Lance could learn something pretty quick, I think. But then we can still have the duo and solo careers as well. It's all for the sake of good music!

I'm definitely moving back, Brandon. We'll be there by May 25th. I hope to see you ASAP. I'm sorry it's been so weird... Yeah! When you left it was like... a major trip. It's okay, I'm not mad about you leaving hahahhaa.

Drama, haha, I'm sure it will. What with crazy killers on the loose. We will figure it out!

(Okay, let's have Brandon do one more before he's in the hospital and then Zander can come see him.)

@zaneder

Okay, I'll talk to both Lance and Bernard about the band. Wow, I'm excited! This feels so real now that we're actually planning things, you know. We'd better still do our duo and solos as well. I mean, I don't care as much about the solos, but I guess they're kind of important if I want to get my music out there. 

I'm excited to see you. We'll have to plan something right after graduation ... well, right after I come back. I have to go back to Durmstrang for the last few weeks of school and then I'll probably visit my dad for a few days. After that, we need to do things. 

See you soon!
