Alice,

It was nice to see you as well. Letters - as much as I do love ours - are never quite the same as seeing someone face to face. I know what you mean though. I find I miss the small moments most. I was so worried last year about the big things we wouldn't do again, but you are right. I miss things like walking to class together or working together on homework.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I'm not outright opposed to the idea. But even still, it isn't really something I've thought about. I know next year is my final year but the idea of after is still so disconnected. Like it is some other Calla will be going through it. I guess I'd have to see what happens. If I got something offered, I might. I guess it could be a really unique experience and there really isn't anything stopping me from doing my training later on after I retire. If I do ever play, I expect all of you to have action figures of me.

I don't know. It isn't that I place my entire worth on being known for something. But I'm not sure it's something you can really understand unless you have older siblings - and ones that stood out. Always living in their shadows. A disappointment for not reaching the same points they did. I know Momma and Poppa don't think like that nor do my sisters but sometimes it is hard to not feel like that. Like I don't have to do everything they did but better. I think that's why I choose quidditch. None of my sisters did it. There was no hurdle to overcome or standard to meet.

What if you find a place where you have spare rooms? That would you could let out the rooms when your siblings aren't home but are away at school as an extra source of income. It might be harder to find tenants for short term but I'm sure there is a market. Like healers on loan to a different hospital or something like that.
your friend,
Calla
