Eva Eva Eva,

How is my favorite sister doing? Excellently, I hope. I've been worried about you I haven't heard from you in a while, so I thought I'd write. Is seventh year treating you well?

Nothing's new with me, really. I think I might get a promotion sometime soon though. Fingers crossed.

From Ben

Ben,

I'm superb, dear brother, thank you so very much for asking. You're wonderful! Seventh year is the same as any other. Except everyone gets drunker and hornier, now that it's legal and all. Not me, by the way. I'm a perfect angel regardless of what that hoebag Dominique Weasley might tell you.

BEN! That's great! What sort of promotion? When will you find out? Oh my gosh, I'm so excited for you! I will cross my fingers for you - I hope you get it! You have to let me know right away, okay?

Love,
Eva

[Ben Faraday]

Eva,

Sounds accurate. Try not to get yourself into too much trouble, yeah? Oh, and Dominique hasn't contacted me since that one time during the summer. Shocking, but true. I'm assuming that you two are still best friends? She seems pretty alright.

I'm not too sure yet! But there's been talks of the current junior editor getting promoted to senior editor next month and my boss knows that I've wanted the junior editor position for ages, so. I sort of think I deserve it too, you know? I've been here for years and I've worked quite hard. Thanks, I love you! You'll be the first person I tell about it either way, promise.

Benny,

I know, I won't. If I get into too much trouble, my agent will drop me. She hasn't? That's good to hear. I know you're a big boy, Ben, but I hated how she acted towards you. Yes, we're still best friends. She's my favorite person to abuse. She is super cool - when she's not hitting on my brother. Oh! Have you met Cassie yet? She's part of our entourage.

Wow! Junior editor?! That's so amazing! I think you definitely deserve it. You have the best stories there. I am your booster club if you need me. I love you, too, Benny! I'm holding you to that promise!

Love,
Eva

[Ben Faraday]

Eva,

Since when have you taken to calling me Benny? That's true. Didn't you say something near the end of the summer about how your agent is looking to get you some bigger shows? Hopefully that happens, because it'll be a great opportunity for you! I know, but it's not like I'll ever flirt back with her, so you don't need to worry. And no, I haven't met Cassie... Is she just as insane as you lot?

Aw, you're the sweetest! Look at us, both having something to look forward to in the future in terms of work. I actually can't wait until you graduate so we can see each other more often! You're growing up so fast.

From Ben

[Eva Faraday]

Benny,

Since forever ago, bro. Get with the times, yeah?

Yes! My agent is sending around lookbooks of me to all of these random people. She's also looking into muggle runway shows because they're pretty popular and abundant. I'm nervous about that, though. Is that dumb?

I know you don't flirt back with her. But I still worry because she has claws. Sharp claws. Actually, I think she has a boyfriend. Well, I know there's some older guy interested in her. Go figure. And, yes, Cassie is insane. But a nice insane?

You called me sweet, are you drunk? But seriously - I know! You're going to get that promotion, I just know it. I can't wait to graduate either. We'll have to have, like, a weekly dinner or something. No excuses. Speaking of graduating, I was thinking about looking around for flats. How pissed off do you think Mum and Dad will be?

Love,
Eva

[Ben Faraday]

Eva,

I must’ve blanked when you started to call me it in the first place. Need to keep better track of this stuff.

Oh, that’s brilliant! I have faith in you, so don’t fret. You shouldn’t be nervous at all because I’m sure you’ll get an amazing opportunity soon and dad will be extremely proud of you. You deserve it!

Literal claws? If so, that’s quite odd. She’ll probably be fine with this older guy, as she seems like the sort of girl who can take care of herself. I didn’t know there was a such thing as “nice insane”... I’ll have to note down all these terms from now on.

Psh, no. I never get drunk. Need I remind you of my lightweight extraordinaire status? Absolutely yes to the weekly dinner thing, I was thinking along the same lines! I actually can’t wait to see their faces They’ll get over it before you can think twice about it, I can tell you that right now. At least, they did with me. Maybe they’re more attached to you though... But I do like your logic of starting to look around now - I can help you, if you want?

From Ben

[Eva Faraday]

Ben,

You really should have a timeline.

Aw, now who's the sweet one? You're so good to me. Are you implying Mum won't Yeah, Dad will be proud.

No, Ben, metaphorical claws. Aren't you the journalist in the family? You should understand these things. I'm sure Dom will be fine. Can't say the same for the guy, though. I suppose I should have said harmless insane. Cassie is sweet.

Oh, right. You're the brother I can out-drink any day or the week. Goodie! This will be so awesome. I can't wait to tell people I have a date with the coolest guy in the world. You really think so? I don't think they're more attached to me, Ben. I would love it if you would help me look for flats. I was thinking of muggle London, actually....

Love,
Eva

[Ben Faraday]

Eva,

Should I? I suppose it would keep things organized.

Being sweet to you is like my second job! You’re my favorite. Well it’s expected that Dad will be proud

Metaphorical claws are the best kind, alright? Yeah, I am the journalist in the family, but that’s why I always double check on facts. Get it right, little sister. Oh, well it sucks to be him. Cassie’s a nice name anyhow, I’m sure she’s just as sweet as her name is!

Don’t tease! It’s not my fault this is the tolerance level I’ve been given. And no I most certainly will not start drinking more often to bring my tolerance up if that’s the next thing you’re going to say No, I think they are more attached to you, especially since you’ve been living with them for all these years that I’ve been away. Not that they care but You’d be surprised. Muggle London is a good place to start, though a bit intimidating! Do you have a free weekend sometime?
