Dear Alice,

I don't know if it will be in the Daily Prophet but Sirius Black has been seen in Hogwarts. He wanted to get into the Gryffindor common room but the Fat Lady wouldn't let him in. She was quite scared and refuses to get back to her portrait at the entrance. We've all slept in the great hall tonight together with the Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws and Slytherins. I've heard Dumbledore say that he won't let the Dementors come inside which is good, I think, but nonetheless nobody knows how Black got in here or if he still is inside the school. I ope he's not here.

I think I'll come home for Christmas. Maybe Ginny will join me. She's not sure yet as Ron probably wants to stay here.

Don't worry too much, nobody got hurt tonight.

Love you,

Ally

Dear Ally,

You've been back for 2 months now and already this happens? I seriously doubt that those Dementors do a good job....I mean they look terrifying and from your first letter about what happened at the train they can't divide between an innocent and a culprit. It's still very scary what happened to Harry...

It's good that you come home. Do you, by any chance, know if Fred and George will come home too? They havn't answered my letter yet so yeah...

Either way mum and dad are happy that you'll come home for Christmas. Also Mrs Weasley has invited us for Christmas dinner too. She sometimes asks me to come over for tea so we can talk. It's really nice and I like spending time at the Burrow. Mr Weasley sometimes visits us too. He apparates into our house. Las time mum nearly had a heartattack because he suddenly appeared in our kitchen. He asks me things about the muggle world like what rubber ducks are for or how the internet works. It's funny to see how happy he is when I explain those things to him.

I promise I'll try to restrain from worrying too much.

Love you too,

Alice

Hello Alice,

It's horrible! We won't be playing against Slytherin in our first Quidditch match. Malfoy, that git, says his arm hurts too much from the attack from that hippogriff. We'll now play against Hufflepuff. Wood is still excited, he thinks there is no chance that we'll lose. We have unbeatable beaters is what he says. He really wants to win the cup because it's his last year and with Harry as our seeker we really have a chance. We're the bloody best team this year in Hogwarts.

Also you might be a bit worried about that Sirius Black having been inside of Hogwarts but he hasn't been seen since and we're here so he won't come back, maybe he's too scared because of us.

You asked about the Christmas holidays and yes we'll come home. Ron will stay here but we, Ginny and Percy will go home. We need seriously a break from school. All this hard learning because of our OWLs, this is just way too much.

Wish us luck for our Quidditch game.

Sincerely,

Fred and George

Dear Fred and George,

I already told Ally that I'll try not to worry too much, so everything's alright.

That Malfoy, I swear he's just scared to lose that's why he does something like that I've no doubt that you'll win there has to happen something really really bad that you'll lose. Hufflepuff has no chance against you. Wood is probably making you practise really hard if he wants to win so badly. I hope it's not raining when you play.

Then I guess I'll be seeing you on Christmas.

Until then,

Alice
