Brother,
Violetta keeps telling me to write you. So here it is. Take it or leave it. How's the whole auror thing going? Speaking of, how good are you with muggle things? My muggle studies class is taking it's toll on me. Mum'll flip if my grade gets any lower.
Sincerely,
Logan

Logan,
The 'Auror thing' is going well, thanks.
I'm great with muggle things. How can I help you?
Cheers,
Anthony

Brother,
Doesn't sound like it's too exciting there, bro. Care to elaborate? It's been a while, you could give your brother something to go off of.
Sincerely,
Logan

Logan, Well, Baby Bolter, things here have been quiet. A few weeks ago, things were crazy. I got a new partner, fresh out of training. I took him a mission, and the prat froze up. I had to deal with seven dark wizards by myself, ended up with a huge cut, below to shoulder. I got another tattoo, making the tally up to two. The Whomping Will on my right rib cage, and a King's crown on my right shoulder. I'm thinking of getting a tribal design, mostly on the left side of my back and left arm. It would cover up the scar. Vi and I are thinking of getting Mum a pet, she's going mental. I think she's got empty nest syndrome. I finished my apartment, it's all painted and furnished. I got a dog, a black lab. His name is Nox. How are things at Hogwarts? Cheers,
Anthony

Anthony,
Well, if he was straight out of training... Why in the hell would they send him out there? They were probably trying to kill the stupid git and get him out of the way. He seems pathetic. That's what I would have done.
You know the ladies love the scars bro. Keep that in mind before you go covering it up, though that is one sic design. I'm considering getting a new one myself. The whomping willow one is pretty sweet. Why'd you go for that?
Get mother something. She got my sleeves soaked when Vi and I got on the train. I tried to tell her I'm still home for two years, but let's face it, the woman is mental, and I say that in the most loving way I can muster. And trust me, that's not much. I can stand being the baby of the family. She needs a baby of her own, but I am not letting anymore kids into that house any time soon. Forget that. Children are messy, loud, and way too obnoxious for my tastes.
Is that a formal invitation? I'd enjoy seeing it sometime. We'll see if mom ever lets me actually stay there. She does not do well with having all of us out of the house. Good thing she has a job though. I do suppose getting something to take care of is the first step to learning about potential child care. Betcha mom already thought of that. She's gonna have high hopes now.
Hogwarts is good. Did mom tell you the Headmaster (or headmistress?) made me a prefect. Can't imagine why. It threw me through a loop. I couldn't believe it. Ten to one it has something to do with the fact that dad's minister. Of course, I couldn't get it on my own. Always the famous child of the minister. My life in a nutshell. Go figure.
Logan

Logan,
They thought I would be a good person for him to learn from…. But he sucked. He quit, and now he’s working in a different office.
Ladies do love the scars, but I’ve found ladies love the tattoo more. I got the Willow because I’ve always been in awe of how something so simple, like a tree, could kill you. :)
A new tattoo? What was your first? Does Mum know about it? I swear, Mum cried every single time she sees my tattoos.
Vi keeps telling me that I’m the only one old enough to give Mum grandchildren… I keep telling her that I’d never get a woman pregnant out of wedlock.
I don’t hate children, however, I’m not in a huge hurry to have any.
Vi is coming to stay with me over holiday. If Mum says its okay, you’re more than welcome. However, Her Highness, Princesse of Bolts, has already claimed the spare room. You’ll have to share with myself or Vi, or sleep on the couch..
Prefect?! Good job! I’m proud! You know, I was Head Boy when I was at Hogwarts!
I’m sure they wouldn’t if made you prefect if you didn’t deserve it! Are you liking the power?
Cheers,
Anthony

Anthony,
Well, all for the better then. Some people should think harder before diving into something they are clearly never cut out for. Pretty pathetic actually.
Whatever gets you laid, bro. I got one the summer before this year, out with some mates in London. I'm sure mom's seen it, but I'm trying to avoid it as long as possible. If she has, she hasn't said anything. We'll see. She's probably waiting to throw the mistake in my face.
Vi's right. I don't ever even want kids. And lord knows that Violetta isn't having kids for another ten years. She's got too many things she wants to do first. It's probably for the best. Someone has to have aspirations. Glad you do to. Keep with that, not too many people nowadays want that. Sex is good, but there's no way pregnancy is ever going to come into play.
Of course Vi would have taken the spare bedroom. Her highness deserves the royal treatment. No offense bro, but if mom does say it's cool... I'll take the couch. You're tattoos and scars don't send me in a tizzy and there is no way I'm sharing with my sister. Sorry, but the couch sounds great.
We all know you were head boy, and Vi is head girl, and I'll probably go down as the one Shacklebolt to never make it. It's cool. I don't even know about this whole prefect thing. It seems farfetched to me. I haven't had much responsibilities yet, but we'll see why Vi doles out for me. Of course, having control over some of the Slytherins and all the younger kids doesn't make me wanna cry.
Regards,
Logan

Logan,
Well, I don't get tattoos with the goal of 'getting laid'. I also don't have one night flings. But to each their own, I guess.
But trust me, if Mum cares, she would have said something. Mum insisted on giving me a haircut, that's why she saw my first tattoo. I was twenty at the time, and Mum burst into tears.
I don't think it'll take Vi ten years to have kids, but it certainly won't be anytime soon!
The couch isn't that bad, I've crashed on it once or twice. Since you're my baby brother, I'll even buy you some real blankets and pillows!
You know, if you wanted to be Head Boy, you could. All it takes is showing some responsiblty, taking charge and helping out!
Yeah, having control over some of the Slytherins and all the younger kids doesn't hurt. :)
Cheers,
Anthony

Anthony,
It's not like it's hidden. It's right on my hand. Of course, I've always been that rebellious child. I'm sure they were expecting it. I doubt they expected it from you. How could you scar your precious body on purpose, brother dearest?
Oh, you'll even get me my own pillow? A blanket too? You're just so kind, I can't believe the luck of having such a great elder brother! Can it be pink and full of rainbows?! I'd be the luckiest younger brother in all the world! Of course, mom and dad never give me blankets. And a pillow? Forget about it! Oh, you are just too kind.
I'm just waiting for something important to actually do. All the elder prefects get the good jobs. What's the point? No one is gonna take me seriously, so why should I?
Regards,
Logan

Logan,
Well, Baby Bolter, I guess I'm just trying to be more like you. I'm going to assume that Mum would prefer tattoos more than grandchild out if wedlock.
Well, my flat is a typical bachelor pad. I've been in it for almost six years now. I just let Mum put decent furniture and paint the place. If you would prefer it, you can sleep on a leather couch with no blankets in the dead of winter.
Shall I tell the lovely Head Girl to give you more responsibility? I'm sure Dad would love to hear that you're pulling your weight around the castle.
Cheers,
Anthony

Anthony,
I know mum doesn't want kids out of wedlock. It's not something she has to worry about with any of her kids. That's a plus for her. Anthony, everyone wants to be just like me. You're gonna have to take a number and get in line. Seriously. It's long.
Bring on the couch. A real man doesn't need a pillow, or blankets. Alls I'm saying is that I can bring my own, if you wouldn't like to go through the hastle of coming up with them yourself. It's not that big a deal, broseph. Don't get your nickers in a twist.
You can tell Vi anything you want. I almost have my doubts with what she'll give me. She probably sees me as a bigger screw up than dad does. Oh sure, he'd love to see me fall on my ass. I'd actually love to see the sissy work the darling headgirl gives me. She's not gonna do too much, she's not gonna want to put too much responsibility that I can't handle and make herself look bad. And... I don't want her to take any heat. She's not doing too bad a job right now. But I'd never admit that out loud. This is strictly confidential. She can screw up all on her own for all I care.
Regards,
Logan |

Logan,
I’m about one hundred percent certain I don’t wear ladies underwear…
However, I’m a good host. I will get some blankets for you…. Granted you get your grades up.
Speaking of, what did you need help with? I’d be more than happy to help you!
Sorry it’s so short, about to head off on a mission. It might be a few days before I can read your next letter.
Till then,
Anthony

Anthony,
We're supposed to do some term paper or another on something technological. How the hell do muggles get along without their wands? Seriously, I will never understand. Those poor souls. Anyway, we were supposed to choose something in muggle technology, and I thought I'd go easy A and go with that thing called a cell phone. It's like an owl, but obviously not. Pointless, but whatever. So I thought, you know, Vi could help out easily. But of course, she's busy with headgirl duties, and doesn't have time for her little brother who could desperately use the help. So think you could get me some quick info?
Regards,
Logan |

Logan,
Well, a cell phone can be used for many things.
-talking on the phone
-texting, which is like instant letters, sent from phone to phone
-browsing the internet. The internet is basically every book in the world in one place
-taking pictures
-taking video (moving pictures, with sound)
Next time I see you, I’ll let you play with my cell. Vi has one too, maybe we can teach you how to use it.
Till then,
Anthony

Anthony,
That all sounds absolutely ridiculous. Not gonna lie. What the hell would a wizard need all that for? I'll have to see this contraption. Sounds like a waste of time. Oh goody, every book. Isn't that just thrilling. I feel like Scrige wouldn't like a cell phone. He loves to spread his wings when I send out letters. Are you putting your owl out of business? Seems a little cruel if you ask me.
Regards,
Logan |
