"I'm fine." Bryony answered absentmindedly, drawing faces into a new slice of toast. She put in a lot of effort in carving a duck into the butter that she had earlier spread onto it. “How are you? Spectacularly awesome?”

Just that moment, an owl swooped overhead and dropped a letter into her lap. Bryony smiled happily and waved twice at the bird. She opened the giant envelope, her finger slitting the opening whilst humming.

[i]Dear Bryony,

How are you doing at Hogwarts? Mum had gotten a raise in her work and is hosting a charity raise. Pa had been busy with business, which is booming this season, and is thinking of opening up a joke shop. We miss you and love you.
Love,
Mum and Pa[/i]
