Dear Samantha,
I am sending this letter to remind you that we are expecting you at home during Christmas. Charles has written us a letter saying that he is not coming home for Christmas, and that he is going on some trip the school has organised. You haven’t said anything about that but I suppose that is because you know we're expecting you. I do not care what that impertinent unappreciative brother of yours decides to do so I have signed his permission slip but I haven’t given him the five galleons for the trip. I was half-inclined not to sign it and see what he would do about that, but instead I decided I would sign it for all the good that would do him. He can stay at school for all your father and I care. Maybe that will teach him to be loyal to his family and make him realise he needs them. You will find the slip inside the same envelope I tied to the owl.
Your father has asked me to tell you he expects you to have finished those three books he has just sent you. He shall be continuing your training during the holidays so he says you must have read all thecurses charms and the potions in the books. How I wish we could have sent you to Durmstrang, that way we would have been able to rest assured about you receiving a complete and proper education, but it really was too far away. I cannot believe the staff Dumbledore has chosen to employ at Hogwarts and how he can call them competent, but I suppose we must bear with him for now. The time when purebloods shall rule the magical world is approaching and soon all the unworthy people who have become part of our world will cease to become a part of it. Anyway your father says he wants you to be ready, because he shall be working very hard with you and shall take you to a further level than he has ever done before. I am not too sure what he means by that, but all shall become clear once you're home.
There is another very important thing I want to tell you Samantha, and that is that your father is not pleased with the Es you scored on several of your subjects last year. Don’t ask me how he knows but he has heard that you are still not near scoring an O on Runes and Herbology, and that displeases him very much. NEWTs are even more important than OWLs as you know. You must try harder at those subjects as we shall not stop expecting the best of our daughter under any condition. You are a Driscoll, and I do not think I need to remind you what that means.
On a lighter note, I must remind you of the party we shall be holding near the end of your holidays. I have sent you the latest edition of a new fashion magazine I just bought, and expect to you to browse through it and see if there is anything you like. We shall of course discuss this in more detail when I see you. It will be a chance for you to mingle with the elite of our soceity, which should be a nice break after the kind of people you have to endure sitting with at school.
Yours sincerely,
Gwenyth Driscoll
