Odair,

If you don't learn how to reply through letters more often I will murder you myself. From the letter you sent me it seems the siuation was bad so I am glad that you were able to sort things out and I hope it will only go up from here but it will only stay okay if you USE YOUR WAND! If you fucking dropped it again, you have to stop doing that. Reply to this letter when you get it. I know you are poroably busy with your brothers but WRITE.

As for your youngest brother, accidental magic can be scary. And don't feel bad that you didn't notice, sometimes you really do put all your trust in your brother when he is actually lying to your face. Like Anthony said he wouldn't go looking for mum, not that it is a lie, he is truthful, I mean me, with my own issues but we beleibe each other and lucky in this isuation it is something where things can only get better and not end in a fight. You gotta be gentle and teach him magic is a wonderful thing.

Did you know I hated magic my first year? I despised it. Now, the thing with Eddie is that you need to teach him theory, if he doesnt get that because even I don't get it sometimes, let him play around with your wand. With magic you need something to place your magic nad energy in nad that is what I wand does. If you let him have it with supervision there should be imporvment.

Okay, so now for some accidnetial magic story nad you realyl have to tell your brother that everyone has them, he isn't a lttle monster freakshow because of them, every wizard has them and there is nothing wrong with it.

I have to really weird habit to break stiars. I do't know why but ever since my mum left my magic obviously got worse. I was an angry person, still am I think and i remember when I was young, I yelled and one of the stairs fell appart making Anthony fall. If that won't make your brother realise accidnetal magic sucks for all, I don't know what will. It was one of the worst days of my life nad like you lot I didn't understand either. I thought there was a demon in me, a curse, can't be far from it when you're hurting people you love right?

Don't tell him that.

When Anthony started to dislay magic, he did it in a much more softer way if that makes any laods of sense. He broke lightbubls or cracked widneos or made things float with his mind. It dpeneds on the person and I think the reason ours were more extreme is because of not being known that we are magic and being hated for it. With Anthony I knew and he was good old friends with Maryrose which helped a lot because he could get out of the house and visit her and she was a witch too and it was easier for him to get into better control. With Edgar, he is still in a muggle hosuehold most of the time, with your parents that don't make it better and no wizards around to help except you now. Teach him like you were taught, tell him the story I told so he knows he isn't alone, tell some of your own as I am sure you have many too! It will make him feel better to know that his perfect, hero brother caused some destruction too.

You better write back.

Dear Jasper,

I am happy to know that everything is okay now at home and I think it is so great that Edgar is magical after all! This is great news, but I am really sorry to know he thinks his magic is all bad, it is such a special thing.

For telling him an accidental magic story I think the best one to tell is how I blew up a frog. Remember that? I think it will be best as it can show him magic can do some scary things, but once you help him get in control it will get better!!
