The Wizard’s Love Spell

As she was having lunch with Nick, the mail had started coming. Many students were receiving letters asking if they'd be home for the holidays, or if they'd be staying at Hogwarts. An owl dropped a couple of letters for Isabella. Just as she was about to open the one from her parents, she noticed the other letter, with familiar handwriting.

It said "Bella", so she'd have to open it find out who it was from.

She quickly ripped the letter open and skimmed it.

Nick continued to eat, silently watching her curiously. He saw as her face lit up with joy as she read the letter. What could possibly be so interesting?

"So... what's it say?" He asked.

"It's from a friend of mine at Beauxbatons! Here, look..." she handed him the letter.

'He or she' was Nick's first thought before he took the letter to read it.

"Cher Bella,

I hope London has been magnifique, and that you are enjoying Hogwarts. You must tell me everything about it. I've heard many things about it, as I've been reading up on the history but I'd like to hear it from you.

As you know, le Ministere des Affaires Magiques de France, is not doing so well. Mes parents, they've decided we should move to London also. So, I'll be joining you at Hogwarts soon! I'll be there by le jour de Noël, or as it's called over there, Christmas. I look forward to seeing you!

À bientôt,

Remi "

"Remi? Who's that?" Nick asked. Once again pondering, 'He or she'

"He's my best friend from Beauxbatons! I can't wait for him to get here!!" She was very excited, she hadn't seen him since summer.

'So it's a he! Wonder what's so great about him that she gets that happy.... and did she say... best friend?' Nick thought. Then he said, "So he's coming here?"

"Yep! I have to go write back to him quickly. I'll see you later for our study session!" And then she dashed off with the letters. He didn't even get a chance to say bye.

Well, whoever this Remi was, he was clearly very important to Isabella. He didn't want to feel jealous but he kinda did.

Isabella dashed to her dormitory, quickly looking for parchment, ink and her quill.

Sure, her handwriting was sort of messy, but it was legible.

"Cher Remi,

I can't believe you're actually coming!! I can't wait to see you, and once we meet up, I'll tell you everything. Hogwarts is so much fun, and less strict than Beauxbatons. I've made friends here and can't wait to introduce you to them!

Stay out of trouble,

Bella "

She threw on her coat, and ran to the owlery in the west tower.

She was out of breath when she reached the top. She put the letter in the envelope, told the owl it was for Remi Jacquin. She watched the owl fly off into the distance until it disappeared from her eyesight.

She disappeared back to her dormitory afterwards, thinking about all that she would tell Remi, and the things she'd show him het at Hogwarts. She was excited to see her best friend.

She soon realized what time it was and rushes to get to the library, she was definitely going to be late to the study session.

"Late." Nick said as she sat down.

"Sorry-" she started pulling out her books and quills "-I got caught up thinking about something and then lost track of time."

"Bout what? That letter you got?" Nick asked as she sat down.

"Yeah," she smiled, "but that's not important right now. Didn't you say you had some spells to practice?"

So for the rest of the time Isabella helped Nick with some of his spells, the smile never leaving her face.
