Gav,

Remember when I was nine and we found that mouse in your treehouse? And we kept it and it lived in your bedroom and we got home from the park and though your mom's cat had eaten him? She felt so bad she got you your owl? But then we found out the mouse was sleeping in your sock drawer? I saw a mouse around during Care of Magical Creatures the other day and just started laughing remembering it. Everyone gave me weird looks and I just told them to guard their socks. It's strange how many memories keep showing back up now that you're here again. I didn't realize how much I miss you.

Leigh,

I remember that! It chewed through all the toes and I tried to fix them myself so Mam wouldn't know the mouse was still alive. I swear I pricked myself with the needle a few thousand times. You know, I never stopped thinking about you. I had this picture in my mind of what you'd look like after all that time and yoy got a lot taller than I expected in the past four years. I was so mad when you had that growth spurt in your first year because you were taller than me for the first time. Not that I'm upset about it. As long as you know I could still totally dominate you in a fight, you lanky git. (That was a joke. You're not that lanky). Okay, I just realized I wrote 'dominate you' and I snorted so loud the customers are giving me weird looks.

I missed you, too. I do now, knowing you're so close but we can only write. How's your friend's dad, by the way?

I love you,
Gav

Gav,

You sewing would be a disaster, I can tell. And don't be jealous of my height, it's a little annoying when everyone has to crane their necks to talk to me. I feel like a giant. Oh, Merlin, I read that bit about you dominating me at breakfast and nearly choked. Thanks for that, Gav, you tosser. Everyone's starting to think I'm completely insane now because of you. I can't wait to see you Saturday. We can finally have that Butterbeer together. Only four years late, right? Blaine's dad is...well, Kurt told me he's alive but it doesn't look good. They spent Saturday at St. Mungo's and just left an hour ago to go back again. On the brighter side, Kurt and Blaine are together again. Now we all just have to deal with their sexual tension because Kurt said they're taking things slow. Not looking forward to that.

Leigh,

You are a giant. Just accept it. And you're also insane. You don't need my help for that. I can't wait either. I refuse to drink another Butterbeer until I see you Saturday. Only six days left! That really is rubbish about his dad. I feel bad knowing I probably wouldn't miss mine. He's an arse though so... He tried to write me when I first moved here, looking for money. I had fun using the letter for target practice with my wand. And don't complain to me about dealing with sexual tension. Just. Don't. And if you need to ask why, you really have gotten stupid since I left. I bet you're grinning and laughing at me right now. SCREW YOU, LEIGHTON, YOU TOSSER. I hope you get 'T's on all your Potions homework. But you won't because you're brill and I hate you.

I love you,
Gav

Gav,

I'm getting mixed messages from you now, I feel. And, yes, I was laughing while I read that. You know me so well. I'd never get a 'T' in Potions. I'm brill at it and you know it. Oh, remember when my Mum was brewing Pepper-up Potion and we dumped in that box of pepper because she hadn't added any and assumed she's forgotten? My dad nearly puked when he got a cold a few months later. Kurt's just gotten back from St. Mungo's and is studying with me waiting for Blaine to get back. He just said he thinks I should write you suggestive messages about all the things I want to do on Saturdays but I don't know how drinking Butterbeer together is suggestive.
