Dear Bonnie

[Vivienne Vaisey]

Help me. My grandma is making me eat sweets while her old biddies are laughing at how fat I'm getting. This is not cool.

How's your summer going, by the way? Not too dull or crazy, I hope.


Love,

Viv,

Pretty sure that counts as psychological torture. Is she doing both at the same time?

I'm wasting away here in the countryside. I need to see people. At least there's people in India. Here there's no one but family and animals for miles.

(OOC: she doesn't like if anyone non-familial calls her Bonnie, lol)

Not Bonnie,

No, my grandma's feeding me, but it's her friends who are teasing. I don't speak the language but I can tell what they're laughing about because they give each other nudges and they cackle whenever my grandma gives another one and I take it. Darn and blast. I wonder if India has different laws regarding underage magic.

That sounds terribly boring. I'll try to get Mum to let me visit you before school starts. If these old biddies keep it up, I'm booking a Portkey out of here by next week.


Love,
Still V x

Viv,

Tell them to shut up. They might not understand you, but oh well. Has the pestering for marriage begun yet? And how's the place otherwise?

Yeah, please do. I need something to entertain me. I wish I could do magic out of school. At least I could have some fun with the animals then.

Siobhan (I really do have to find you a nickname. How about Ducky?),

I can't be rude to my dear grandmother's special guests! That'd be terribly unlady-like of me, where'd my pretty manners go? Whatever will they say? Then they'd move on to the topic of not being able to find a suitable husband and I swear, B, I'm running back to England if that's going to happen.

What exactly are you planning to do with animals and your magic? That sounds terrifying. I'll try to alleviate your boredom soon so you won't have to stoop to magicking animals for entertainment.


Love,

Viv, (your name is so easily nickname-able, though. V, Viv, Vivi, so on. Mine isn't. But please don't call me Ducky)

Oh god, not the marriage talk again. You're only fifteen. Tell them to calm their tits. You aren't even of freaking age, not even in the muggle world. Are they seriously thinking of marrying you off as soon as you leave school? That's just cruel. But how's India otherwise?

I dunno what I'd do with the animals, really. Probably try to levitate a pig or something. But seriously, I wish I could use magic. I'm sure I'd figure out something then.

[Vivienne Vaisey]

I've decided on calling you B. Queen B, how about it, eh?

They started on the marriage talk yesterday, but thankfully my grandmother was sufficiently distracted by the grandson of one of my grandmother's friends and they interviewed him instead. I feel bad for him, but what are Slytherins best at? Saving their own skins. I ran for it and left him to the wolves. They're not really thinking of marrying me as soon as I leave school - my mummy dearest for one would love for me to wait until I'm thirty or something, just to piss them all off.

India's been the usual, really. Loud, noisy, bit smelly, really hot. I think I'll send an owl to Mum and ask her if I can come back early.

Levitate a pig? Okay, now I know you really need help. Levitate a pig? You're wishing that you could use magic outside of school and you're just going to levitate a pig? Merlin. I'm sending my mother an owl asap.

Viv,

Ooh, Queen B! I like. It's like that one Muggle singer who had this song about single ladies. Have you heard of her?

Poor grandson. What'd they ask him? And by the way, is it actually normal for people to marry off their kids before they're even out of their teens in India? Or is it just this weird tradition your grandma's stuck on? Like that other one, the one that dictates that fasting brings good fortune to the family? And I swear, your mother and grandma seem to always be at odds.

It's not raining there? You usually complain about the rain. Yeah, come back early. We should hang out before holidays end. And please get me out of my boredom before I steal Mum or Dad's wand and start turning the animals purple or something.

- Siobhan

[Vivienne Vaisey]

Brilliant! Finally, a nickname that suits you royally, Queen B. And no, I've not really listened to Muggle music? But ooh, single ladies, I like the sound of that! You must play it when I get back.

Haha, they asked him about marriage, obviously. I think they mentioned me somewhere in there, so I've got another excuse to run back home. My mum doesn't mind, so I might be home as early next week (yay!). I don't even know what's normal or not, to be honest, all I know is that it's normal for my grandparents. I dunno if it's the combination of rigid pure-blood tradition or if it's Indian culture, maybe a bit of both. And I don't even know anything about fasting, my mother tries to go against as many traditions my grandparents are into, so. Yes they are haha it works for my favour plenty of times though.

It's not raining much, no. It's more like a heatwave more than anything, especially after England. Merlin. Yes yes, I'm telling Mummy to arrange a Portkey, but she's "busy" so. I'll try to get back as soon as possible. Sweet Circe, but why animals? Why the poor widdle things? No, but seriously, if you go to the extent of stealing wands, at least do something fun with it.


Love,
