Kaela was a bit confused when an owl that was definitely not Dash flew into her bedroom window. "Maybe Kale is letting him rest." She smiled at the owl and gave him a pat on the head before opening Kale's letter.
"Oh...so you're name's Fluffy...and you're mine!" Kaela beamed down at the owl and patted him again. She sighed, "Kale," and picked up a piece of paper and pen to write Kale back.

Kale,
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for Fluffy. He's like the cutest thing ever! I can't believe he made it all the way here, he's so small. I'll be sure to take excellent care of him, I promise!
Yeah, I do like writing. Journalism would be fun I bet. But who knows, my mind might change by the time I graduate.
I remember Rose. It was so sad when she died. I wasn't nearly as close with her as Estrella was. I only sort of remember Anastasia, as she was in a different house and all. It's really sad that they both had to die like that though. I've never been in the Borely and I have no desire to go in. It's way too creepy. Have you ever been there?
I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed.
I can ask my da if you want. I wouldn't think you'd want to come here with everything all nutty like it is. But hey, if you want to I'll ask for ya. Are you sure your ma would be ok with that? You better ask her too.
Thanks again for Fluffy!
-Kaela
P.S. Shouldn't he have a cage or something?

Kaela,
You're welcome, I'm really happy that you like Fluffy. He was a cute and you needed an owl, so I thought that I would help you out. Just a random question: When is your birthday?
I think you're welcome to come and visit my place (if I do end up planning on visiting home) if you would like a short vacation from all of the chaos that is going on over there. I can only imagine how crazy it is with everything going on. If you want go ahead and ask your Da, I can always ask my Ma one of these days. : ) We can always work something out.
No, I haven't ever been to Borely. Well, inside of it anyway. I've had my fair share of times walking outside the gates, but that pretty much it. I wouldn't go in there unless if it was something really, really important and with a group of people.
Hope to hear from you soon! -Kale Thomas
P.S. Hmmmm...I don't know how he would ever lug a cage all the way to Ireland from here. Really, I think most owls are outdoor animals so Fluffy should be fine for now?

Kale,
I talked to my da and he likes the idea of me visiting you better than you visiting me. He said you can come here if you want, but that he'd rather have me visit you. Things are kind of stressful here, and my da has no problem with me going to visit you, even though it's Christmas. It took some convincing, but he agreed.
My birthday is coming up actually. It's on 27 October. When is your birthday?
Yeah, I can't think of a good reason to go into the Borely at all. Even if the whole school were to go in there, professors and all, I think I'd opt out of that one. There's a reason I wasn't put into Gryffindor.
I guess you're right, Fluffy doesn't really need a cage yet. But if I ever have to travel with him I might have to pick one up. I'm sure they have them at pet stores here though, I can have Finn go get one with me. Thanks again for getting him for me!
Hope to hear back from you soon!

Hey Kaela,
I wrote to my ma asking if it were okay for you to come and stay for Christmas break and she said that she was completely fine with it as long as your parents are okay with it. I'm going to warn you first hand that if you do come I have a younger sister that will talk your ear off and follow you around all the time and also three other siblings...it might actually scare you...
Oh, that's cool. Ha!, Happy Early Birthday! Mine just passed on September 18th.
I don't blame you...the Borely Mansion is spooky. Are you supersticious too? How about the lake, do you believe that there is a giant squid at Hogwarts? Haha
Talk to you soon, -Kale

Kale,
Aw, happy belated birthday! Fall babies rock!
That's awesome that your ma said I could come over! I don't see why your family would scare me though. I mean sure, I've never had a sister, but I have a Finn. And I'm sure if you survived what, 14 years, that I can survive however long our parents let me stay.
I wouldn't call myself superstitious per se. I dunno about the squid. I've heard stories, but I've never seen it. What about you?
Hope to hear from you soon!
-Kaela
As soon as Kaela sent the letter out with Fluffy she ran downstairs to get her Floo powder.

Kaela,
Heeeeey! and thanks for the birthday wishes.
I think it will definitely be an interesting break though. I have older triplets, two of which are brothers. They're both loud and always picking on eachother like a bunch of six year olds. My sister is the more calm and content one, shes in Ravenclaw at the Original Hogwarts in the UK, my brothers are in Gryffindor. Then I have my younger sister, shes 6 now and my youngest brother is 10.
Oh, did you hear any news about quidditch from anyone yet? I don't know if it's just a rumor, but they're supposively getting rid of club teams again and having tryouts for house teams. I'm tired of switching back and fourth every term! I don't think quidditch will ever get sorted out here, it being so disorganized and whatnot..You told me to keep you updated on new stuff, so I did my duty! Hah!
You know whats ironic? I feel like we talk more in letters than we had ever talked in person. Merlin, I'm missing you Kaela! Get back to HNZ! - Kale Thomas
P.S. I think the squid is a load of b.s.!!

Kaela got back from Obsidian Harbour and was wrapping up the box containing the parchment, quill, ink, and a handmade birthday card for Kale when Fluffy came in with a letter. Kaela smiled brightly when she saw that it was Kale and petted Fluffy before tearing open the letter.

Kale,
You know, I think you're right about us talking more now than we did then. I think it helps because we don't have the constraints of being in different houses and people like Ford and Estrella around. Not that they aren't both awesome people, but, it's just weird with them around, you know? We're both friends with each other's exes, how weird.
Triplets?! WHOA! That's pretty nuts. Well, hopefully everything goes according to plan and I get to meet your family. You make it sound like so much fun!
Oh yeah, Courtney did tell me about Quidditch. She's Ravenclaw Captain afterall. I can't believe it's changing again! I must admit, I sorta miss playing sometimes. Horseback riding is nothing compared to flying on a Streak.
I hope things are going well for you and I look forward to hearing back from you soon!
-Kaela
P.S. The box is your birthday present. I hope Fluffy made it there ok with it!
Kaela gave Fluffy the small box and the letter and watched him fly out the window. He looked to be straining, but he was making it ok. She smiled and laid down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling with the first genuine smile she had worn in a while.

Kale was surprsied when he entered the owlery to see Fluffy sitting on the ledge of the owlery with a small package by his side, he looked very tired out from his trip all the way from Ireland with the small package.
Reaching into his pocket, Kale got one of Dash's treats and handed it to Fluffy. "Thanks Fluffy..." he said while patting the owl and grabbing the box before opening the letter. Kale ripped open the letter and unfolded it from the envelope, his eyes scanned it. He then followed with opening up the small box which revealed his birthday presents from Kalea. A small smile inched from the corners of his mouth as he grabbed his old ink and quill and set down the homemade card.

Kaela,
Thanks a lot for the ink, quill and parchment. That will definitely come in handy and I really appreciate it! I'll be definitely writing to you even more now! I liked the homemade card too, I never knew that you were so crafty. Fluffy seems alright right now, just a bit tired out. I gave him an owl treat and he seems to be resting up before heading back home. I'm going to send Dash with him to make sure that he makes it back okay.
You're definitely right about that. I hate to say it, but I do feel like I have more freedom and less weight on my shoulders right now by not being with her. I don't mean it in a mean way or anything, but I honestly feel like I can breathe again. You know what I mean? Fords awesome and Sophia is cool too, I just don't understand their 'relationship'...she seems to have him on a short leash. But what do I know?
Yep, triplets is correct. My older brothers are CRAZY. I think you'll get a kick out of them.
I've never been horseback riding before. I've seen them before, but never up close. Do you own horses or something?
Really? I haven't talked to Courtney yet this year. Thats cool though. She'll do a great job like she always does. I'm guessing that Ford will be team captain for Slytherin...I really hope that house teams are more successful this year... I should probably get going, its getting late here! Hope to hear from you soon. -Kale P.S. Thanks again for the birthday gifts!
Kale gave his letter to Dash to give Fluffy a break, quickly he gave both owls a last pat before they both headed out together back to Ireland.

Kale,
Your welcome! I didn't know what to get you, so, I went with something I figured would come in handy. Considering you are writing me an awful lot. I know I don't know you real well, but I can't really envision you writing a bunch of people a lot.
I'd hardly call myself crafty, I made the card with Sharpies.
Yeah, no, I know what you mean. I know that Ford dumped me, but I'm kind of glad he did. He and Sophia are meant for each other, I swear. Like, it's nice to have someone there, but it;s no good if you just aren't right for each other. Ford and I definitely weren't. Oh well.
CRAZY you say? Well, as long as they're anything like you I'm sure I'll get along with all of your family.
We don't own horses per se. We sort of do. But we don't have our own stable or anything, we keep them at a local stable. It's tons of fun. Are there any horses by you?
Yeah, Courtney's an awesome captain. Maybe when I get back she'll let me play.
Uh oh. Well, Finn just came in and said I have to go to the hospital with him again. Here's hoping things are ok.
Take care, and thanks for being there.
-Kaela
P.S. Your welcome!

Kaela,
Whatever Sharpies are, it's a cool card. You're right, you're basically the only one that I do write to. I don't have many other people other then family to write to.
Sophia and Ford have a very interesting bond. I don't know what it is. Ford is one of my best friends, but I wonder about him at times and his choice in dating her.
Yes, but not many. There is a muggle farm not too far from my house and the people own horses and other different farm animals. But I've never been close enough to actually go up and even touch a horse. Do you have any other animals?
I hope you get to play quidditch again. That would be really cool. I bet Courtney would let you, if you return early enough in the year! What position do you play again? I forget, its been so long since I've seen you play.
I'm sure that things are fine. Just stay calm and be there for you ma, everything will work out. - Kale

Kale,
Sharpies are permanent markers. I'll send you one so you can see. Just don't smell it.
I'm not sure what he sees in her either, but he obviously sees something. Who knows?
I have a cat, Bengal, but that's about it. My ma's actually allergic to cats, so it's kind of good she's not here. Usually I have to find someone else to care for him when I go home.
I started out as a chaser and moved to beater. Courtney and I make a pretty good team together, if I do say so myself.
I don't think fine is really the right word. I'm not really sure what the right word is, but it's not fine. My ma kind of took a turn for the worse last night. I spent the whole night at the hospital reading. I finally just got home and after I send this off I'm gonna get some sleep. I guess I'll see later how things really are.
Take care. Hope things are going better over there than they are here.

Kaela,
Why do Muggles name simple things like markers names like Sharpies? How confusing. And why must I not smell it?
Cats are cool. My sister Morgan has one, he's fat, lazy and gets in the way an awful lot.
You played Beater? I never knew that. That's awesome. When you get back, we should practice out Beater skills.
Wow. I'm really sorry. The doctors still haven't found what is wrong with her? That's beginning to make me worried too. I hope that everything turns for the better. You must be exhausted..
Hang in there, -Kale

Kale,
Sharpie is the brand name. Like Weasley's products, Weasley is the brand. It's just a certain type of marker. I'm not real sure what happens when you smell it, but I was also told it kills your brain cells. So, I'm pretty sure it's not good.
Yeah! Most recently when I played I played beater and I loved it! Way more fun than chaser.
I think they sort of know what's wrong, but they don't know what to do to fix it. They keep trying things, and sometimes it helps for a little bit, but then she ends up getting worse all over again. I'm just trying to keep my mind off of things. Writing to you has really helped.
Well, I gotta go. Take care.

Kaela,
Heeeeeeeey! Well, I've been trying to think of ways to get your mind off of your ma's illness and stuff...and I was having a hard time coming up with ideas since you're so far away...
Here are some questions for you for now...When did you last smile? How old are you? Are there things that you can't live without? What is your favorite food? Where would you like to live? What kind of house would you like to live in? Whats your favorite color?
I'm happy that my writing to you has helped you in some way. Writing to you keeps me from being bored, so thanks for helping cure some boredom. It's also cool to catch up with someone that isn't currently attending Hogwarts. Talking to the same old people gets boring. : )
Let me know how things are going...
Hope to hear from you soon, -Kale

Kale,
Wow, that's a lot of questions. Let me see if I can answer them all.
* The last time I smiled was a few moments ago... * I'm 14 going on 15. * I can't live without books and music and friends. * My favorite food is without a doubt chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. * I really like Ireland, and the house I grew up in. I'd like to live in the same type of place again I guess. Although I'm open to options * My favorite color...that's a toughie. I really like blue, for Ravenclaw, but I'm also a big fan of green.
Now it's only fair that you answer all the same questions, since I was so honest to you.
Uhm, things are all right I guess. I haven't had to rush to the hospital lately, so I guess that's good. Anything interesting happening at Hogwarts? Oh, who's in the lead for the cup?
Well, take care.
-Kaela
