Half of the students were puffing out their chests and jeering at one another (we like our house rivalries here at Hogwarts), and the other half looked glassy-eyed and confused. It seems that, even twenty-odd years after the war, people are still frightful about those things that were.<br/><br/>I have the sneaking suspicion that <em>this</em> is the entire reason the Ministry is having the tourney. Get our traditions back. Give people a reason to move past those terrible memories and break those habits of whispering. Shine a little light on a horrible chapter in our history so we can move past it.<br/><br/>Also to prove that, once more, Hogwarts is superior, neener neener, the trophy is ours!<br/><br/>Until it’s not.<br/><br/>What say you, Aleks? Are you coming to Hogwarts? Are you going to put your name in that goblet, or are you going to stay safe in that ice-castle of yours, where you goons play with rocks and sock puppets and call it magic?<br/><br/>-Mack<br/></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Aleks’ Magimail</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatright">(https://emspro.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Email_Icon-Org@2x.png)</div><div class="floatleft"><div align="center">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/6e/AleksDurmSocial.gif)</div></div><br/><br/><strong>To: Mack (Mackenzie.Ohare@magimail.com)<br/>From: Aleks (Aleksey.Kozlov@magimail.com)<br/>Subject: Re: First Day News<br/>Date: (09/01/2019)<br/>Time: (10:21 PM)</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Ha! I had wondered how long it would take me to hear from you.  My guess had been tomorrow, after you had tired yourself out crowing about your school's coming victory in a contest in which you secretly know you have no chance.  <br/><br/>I will admit surprise that your Ministry thinks it is time for the Tourney again, considering your new Minister was a student herself then.  But perhaps you are right, that makes it all the more reason.  To show your school is not shackled by its tragedies, nor she by her past.  It is an interesting thought, but one that will not secure victory for you either way!<br/><br/>Here, there is no fear, at least not openly.  But then, to openly show such things here is a terrible idea, and a sure way for years of isolation.  No, everyone here speaks of nothing but victory, even our Headmaster.  As if overconfidence has never lost.<br/><br/>As for me....I do not doubt my Uncle will insist I come.  Not for the goblet likely, my skills are not that great, but for the experience.  I think he feels I need more tempering to live up to the family name.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, I will coming to your Silly Little Castle, with my rocks and sock puppets both.  You had best prepare yourself, soon you will no longer be able to hide behind your Magimail jibes!<br/><br/>Sincerely,<br/><br/>Aleks<br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mack's 2nd Magimail</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatright">(https://emspro.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Email_Icon-Org@2x.png)</div><div class="floatleft"><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/61WGQG9.gif)</div></div><br/><br/><strong>To: Aleks (Aleksey.Kozlov@magimail.com)<br/>From: Mack (Mackenzie.Ohare@magimail.com)<br/>Subject: Re: First Day News<br/>Date: (09/01/2019)<br/>Time: (10:36 PM)</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center">I think you underestimate my penchant for trouble, Aleks.
