Apologies for my delay of response, I was on call yesterday afternoon and it was a mess.

Pity, the curiosity comes naturally, Ravenclaw and all. I'll keep making up grandiose stories in my head about illegal creatures and smuggling routes then.

My mum needs no encouragement, the woman would make my lunch if I still lived with her. Being the second eldest dictates a sense of responsibility I suppose, both my eldest brother and my closest younger sister have settled down with families. I can tell my mum has her sights on me next, though is thankfully distracted by my next youngest sister who is much more eligible than I am, at least age wise. She probably has the same lack of enthusiasm for the subject I do, however.

A Slytherin hm? I think I picked up on that between the lines of these letters, but I also could have seen Gryffindor.
