Blood to blood

[Hadan Winters]

Hadan walked up to the owlery with a letter in hand. Taking her owl, she attached the letter to her leg. Hadan murmured, "Take this to my sister in Durmstrang, if you don't mind." Hadan let the owl fly out the window, and she bit her lip out of anxiousness. Hadan may be the oldest of the three, but since Tamara was dead, leaving Miriah and Hadan alone, Hadan was worried that something might happen to Miriah. What if? Hadan shuddered at the thought of it. It was silly really.

Dearest Sister,

How are you? How is your Durmstrang year this year? Ready for the infamous OWLs? Raffael and I, the boy you met during our first encounter, we are now in a relationship. He makes me truly happy and managed to get on my dad's good side. It was amazing. Plus, dad's reaction and attitude toward Michael and Dietrich, two males whom are dating. It was quite hilarious. I am looking forward to this school year, and can't wait for Halloween. I turn seventeen, and so do you. Which reminds me, would you like something for your birthday? I can get you anything, except anything in the Quidditch category. I refuse to go into that sort of shop. Really, there isn't much else to say here, and I hope to visit you sometime!

Sincerely,
Hadan

Miriah was surprised to get a letter from Hadan, especially seeing as she was supposed to try and transfer to Hogwarts but never got around to it like she should have sometime earlier. With a smile that was barely noticeable she began to write her sister back so the poor thing wouldn't have to worry about her and such. Miriah really missed her sister and wished they could see each other more often, it seemed like Hadan was one of the only people that could really understand Miriah and why she did the things she did.

Dear Hadan,

It was really nice to get a letter from you at such a random time, this week has been pretty bad for me because students around here can't see to shut up about that stupid TriWizard tournament. Why anyone would want to risk their life for eternal glory is a huge moron in my eyes, I heard Hogwarts is competing too. I'm really glad you and that boy you seemed to always talk about are finally together, he better not hurt you or I'll stab a pin into his eyes...well not really but you get the point. Still, I'm glad he makes you so happy because you deserve a little happiness in your life, I however still find most boys to be extremely obnoxious and weird. As for my birthday, perhaps just a good book or some candy from that Honeydukes would be fine, I'm not asking for much at all...just thankful to still be alive I suppose.

Did you know that bees think of us as giant flowers?

Dear Miriah,
Oh yes, the TwiWizard Tournament. I heard Mike Goulding is our champion. He is a Gryffindor Prefect, but that is all I know. I do hope that no one perishes, but I have heard that the TwiWizard Tournament is a bit dangerous and maybe cursed. I find it rather redundant. All that for glory? Please. No need to be stabbing my boyfriend in the eye with a pin. I think dad did enough to scare him. Who would mess someone that is about seven feet tall and muscular? Perhaps soon, you will meet the love of your life. You will never know. A good book, you are such a Ravenclaw. But that is fine. Raffael is in Ravenclaw, and he is just amazing. Anyways, I didn't know you liked candy. I for one hate it. Anything that is junk food related... We are both thankful to be alive if you think about it... After everything I have seen, and maybe you, then you will learn to appreciate the small things.

Um, no, I didn't know that about bees.

Hadan,

I think our Champions name is Moko Craven, I wish her all the luck in the world to do well and not killed but other than that I can't really say I care all that much other than I hope no one gets killed. Dad? You mean as in Chavdar right, he's the man you were adopted by right, I really need to start writing this stuff down if I expect to ever meet these people. Love of my life hm? I don't think so Hadan, I'm young and I have far too much on my mind to really ever focus on finding love or trying to love someone in return. I barely have time to make new friends or spend time with the few that I have, do you have a lot of friends back at Hogwarts? If you do are they nice and easily to get along with or do you sometimes want to smack them upside a book, I wish it was easier for me to want to talk to people but it's so hard to open up to what I feel is a lie. Just because I like a good book doesn't mean I belong in Ravenclaw sis, but is there anything you'd like for your birthday? I promise I won't get you any junk food, I usually only like it on rare occasions myself.

Did you know that 12 newborn children will be given to the wrong parents daily? - What morons.

Dear Miriah,

I wish her luck as well. People get hurt in those challenges, but they knew better so the faults is on their own shoulders. I do blame them for whatever troubles they come across. Yes, I do mean Chavdar. He came and adopted me, yes. I think you better write them down or something. I don't even know your adopted parents' names. I didn't mean right now, silly. Focus on your schoolwork. That is always important. Especially this year, it is to determine whether or not you advance onto NEWT courses. It is a little hard for me to pay attention in school because of him. But I am slowly managing. I have a few close friends and I do guide others when they wish to be guided. My friends are nice, for the most part. Then again, I can be a nasty person as well, but I choose not to. I've grown up. I know how it feels. Perhaps too much actually. The only one here at the school that has an idea of my past is Raffael. I was just kidding, because not all Ravenclaws read. At least, I don't think they do. I..couldn't tell you for the life of me. Maybe a small charm for a necklace?

Um, yeah...morons they are....

Hadan,

My adoptive parents? I seriously swear to god I have written about them to you before at least once or twice. Well their names Arin and Olivia and even though they can pester me about the most annoying things I've thankful that they've taken me in and treated me like their own daughter. Man please don't remind me about those OWL'S and NEWT's coming up, I've decided to take almost every elective and I feel that studying for all those classes will seriously kill me in the end. Good, keep those friends close because when it comes down to it you may need them more than you think and even if you think they don't understand some of them might know better thank you think. Especially keep you boyfriend close because he seems special to you, just promise that if you guys get married I'm invited to the wedding. A small Charm huh, easily done for me so expect something to come in the mail around Halloween from me.

Did you know the air smells differently after it rains?

Dear Miriah,

Oh yes, Arin and Olivia. I keep forgetting their names, I must apologize. It is hard for me to keep up with well, anything nowadays. I am glad you did not end up in an orphanage or foster care and with bad people. I heard it was hell in orphanages. Taking every elective is like sending yourself to the grave early! I only have taken two, but I will probably drop them anyway. Probably not Arithmancy though. I do enjoy the Professor but I do miss Professor Manteia. Sadly you will never meet him. He was one of the best. Those tests, I dread them. I will always keep my friends close, and Raffael closer. He is… Needless to say what he is to me. I won’t promise we will be getting married, but when I do, you will be the Maid of Honor. Yes, a small charm would do just fine. And you too.

I know that from experience. A day in the rain is how I met my boyfriend.
