September: History of Magic

 Dear Future Trin Paige, 


Well, right now you're eleven when writing this. You were just sorted into Ravenclaw House, which was no surprise to your dad. He was a Gryffindor, but he always knew you would be an Eagle! 


Learning history is super important, right? I mean, it's helpful to learn about how we all came to where we are now. After all, everything that happened in the past affects what is going on today.


Like you... remember how before coming to Hogwarts, Mum left? That really changed things a lot, didn't it? Dad said she couldn't handle us both being magic and she wasn't. She felt like she didn't know us anymore. When she left, it really hurt... but I guess it made sense. Dad and you moved to Hogsmeade, and it's been way better. No more hiding magic there! It was definitely an important event that changed your life forever! 


So what are you doing now that you're in seventh year? I bet you're getting ready to take some post-graduate classes about charms or animals. Maybe you're a prefect or head girl... maybe you even have a boyfriend! I sure hope so! 


Remember what you first thought of professor Sawyer? The first thing you noticed was that she was really pretty. You wondered if you would ever become that pretty... She seemed like a really nice, happy person though. Maybe history wouldn't be so bad after all! 


Well, I better hand this letter in. Can't wait to see if I'm right in seven years! 


Love from, 


Trin.

September: Charms

Trin took a deep breath when it was her turn and walked to the front of the class. "My name is Trinity Paige, but everyone calls me 'Trin'. I was sorted into the Ravenclaw House and I'm a half-breed. My dad is a wizard, and mom left us when I got my letter because she wasn't magical. After that, Dad and I moved to Hogsmeade."   She looked at the board and smiled back to the class, taking her wand out to show them. "This is my wand. It's ten and a half inches long and is made of Laurel and Peacock Feather. I think the wand chose me because people who own it are skilled in lots of different things, and I like learning all sorts of stuff! Apparently owners of the wand also are good at keeping secrets, which I am!"   Trin looked at the next question and remembered the answer from the professor's lecture. "The difference between charms and transfiguration is that charms only change things a little bit, and not for long. When you do a transfig...

September: Potions

Dear Professor Bennett,   My name is Trin Paige. I’m in Ravenclaw House and am eleven years old. I was born in Inverness, Ireland, and my father was a wizard. My mom didn’t like that he had a whole second life, so she left us and we decided to move to Hogsmeade so we didn’t have to hide the fact that we were magical anymore.   I really don’t know how I feel about Potions. I figured it was one of those courses I should take, because it’s something all witches and wizards should know… and Dad says there are a lot of potions that are super useful… I just don’t really know much about them and I’m afraid to mess something up… but I guess you’ll help us with that, right?   There's not really a lot I know about this subject. Dad is more of a book-knowledge, magical creatures kind of wizard. He never really did much with potions or herbs or things, but he knew about them of course. I want to learn more about what potions are and how useful they are… Frankly I think charms and spe...
