Closed Awkward is the right word

[Cassius Styx]

Aubrie,

Thought I'd write like I said I would. I don't really know how to write letters to girls. Or anyone other than family members. So, this is new to me. Don't hold it against me though. I am trying.

I am teaching a Hufflepuff student here how to use sign language. He recently went deaf. It was my fault. I think that he will get by easily. I had a deaf friend when I was a kid so I picked up the sign language as we grew up. But my friend moved off to another country so I've not seen him in a long time.

Anyway, how is school over there? Do you think it is weird for your mom to be with one of the professors here?

Cassius,

One would assume that writing to boys and to girls are eerily similar. I would say this is a fairly decent attempt, so keep practicing and you just might get the hang of it.

You know, if you didn’t want me to know you made someone deaf, you really shouldn’t have wrote it in the first place. I don’t even wanna know.

And school is fine I suppose. It’s all a bit of a rush these days with preparing for exams. OWLs as you call it. They’re can be quite a pain with all the revision that needs to be done. And not at all. Why would it be? He makes her happy.

Looking forward to what other interesting things you’ll write,
Aubrie

Aubrie,

You would think so, but it is a little different. Well, you are the only one that I am going to practice writing to, so you will just have to deal with my awkwardness. I'd apologize, but I would not want to lie to you.

I feel guilty about it, and trying to make up for it. But I am teaching him sign language, and I think it is going well. If you wanted to learn, I could probably teach it to you too. Just in case you have some sort of friend or sibling or family member that is or might become deaf.

Right, OWLs. I took them last year and I am honestly glad that I don't have to deal with it. It'll be done and over with before you know it, as long as you studied hard enough. I made straight Os.

I just heard a lot of complaints from my grandfather about him. Guess your mom likes that sort of man.
