Maddie climbed out of bed again and grabbed her new quill, ink and a piece of parchment. She got back under the satin sheet, and started to write a letter to her father.
Daddy,
Please don't show this letter to mother, she said that I wasn't to write or have any contact with you whilst I was at Hogwarts. But I gad to write, Daddy, I couldn't just be so cut off from you. How is everything at the house? Has Princess had her foal yet? Hogwarts is amazing, it reminds me a little of that time we went to Versailles. Do you remember Simon Leonarder de Simpson, the Prince of Hollian? He's a wizard too! I met him on the train. I've made lots of new freinds here, but I can't help but think about what is happening at home with you. Could you maybe ask mother if I could come home for the holidays? I know she forbade me to, but I want to see you, Daddy. I don't even care if she hits me again, I just want to see you. Send a reply back with the owl, he'll know where I am
Love, your daughter,
Madeline xx
She slipped on a dressing gown, and made her way to the owlery
