Isa/Ju [Owl Exchange]

[Deleted]

The summer had started off on an...uncomfortable note with all the goings on in her family. But now things had began to settle all she could do was try to move on. She had lived in her own little world for the last few weeks, getting settled in a miniscule flat, alone. Wandering London, alone. Getting a start on school work, alone. The loneliness had began to get to her when one day two weeks into the summer break she had let a certain someone cross her mind.

And now she hadn't been able to get rid of him.

Hey,

How have you been?

I miss you.

For a moment she paused, wondering if she should leave that part in. Eventually she decided she should. Being forward had gotten her somewhere in the past. And this time at least she wouldn't have to see his face in response to it. Hesitating, she wondered if she should say much more before settling on something casual.

What have you been up to? Are you going back to school this year, or taking the home-school option?

Bye I guess.

Julian hadn't been able to get Isa out of his head, which was unusual for him. He wasn't just reserved as a person, but almost completely isolated, both physically and literally. He just didn't have the time or the energy to think about other people, especially not when his life was very much about the monthly cycles of transformations.

So there he was, at home, setting leaves on fire and snuffing them out, trying not to think about the one person at Hogwarts who had treated him like a...well...person. 

He hadn't expected to get an owl from her, and when he did, he spent a lot of time debating about how he should write back.

He definitely didn't know how he was supposed to address the first part of the letter, after all.

Won't go back. Has to do with my wolfy time-of-the-month. Mum's idea.


What about you? Are you going back?

While the fact she had gotten a reply at all had been a surprise, as she sat and had her cornflakes for lunch time because she had been too lazy to seek out any other food, seeing an unknown owl assumed to be Julian’s had sent her heart a-flutter. Her day up until then had Ben mundane. Letting her eyes scan the page she paused to sip from the mug that help her coffee in it; well that wasn’t unexpected. The sparse words were reflective of how they had always been together she supposed. She was especially nonplussed at the fact she had ignored the start of her letter. She knew quite well that would illicit no response.

Her quick reply was down to the fact she had nothing to do today other than go to the shops and buy some sort of supplies for dinner.

@julian

makes sense I guess. easier to manage at home

My mother wanted me to go to France but I didn’t want to go anywhere so yeah just at home for now. I still want to go to muggle uni so home school where I can concentrate on the subjects I wanted seemed the best I guess.

There was a lot of controversy with my family not long after the accident at school. I don’t know if you saw. But anyway, I’ve moved out away from my mother and now I’m in a flat in Camden that used to belong to my grandmother. So I just work alone a lot of the time. 

What have you been up to?

Isa.
