Congratulations, Sue, Bobby and Zach!

I say, jolly well done, all three of you. The side are lucky to have you.

Also to the other new players, in Hufflepuff and all other Houses. I'm quite looking forward to the matches this year. Ron, I said this afternoon but again: Heartiest congratulations, old man.

Oh, Patil, as I said this afternoon, I'd be happy to take any Monday or Thursday, as needed.

So far, the year's going quite well, what? I say, there's loads of homework but that's not unexpected. I suppose the real challenge is balancing all of that with all the other activities. I'm not sure how some take on CCF, YPL, Quidditch, and being a Prefect all at once but they seem to manage it.

At any rate, now that we've settled into the routine of the week, it's not so bad. Creatures is a perfectly pleasant way to end the school week and the other lessons promise to be very engaging.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

I say, I doubt Zacharias will be quite so chuffed when he realises it means getting out to the pitch at six on a Saturday morning for their practice. (Stebbins has already said it's a disadvantage, what?)

Hello,

What I couldn't say in public is that I'm well pleased I only have to worry about lessons, CCF and spending time with you, what.

Good to see you tonight. And class wasn't half bad, so I think not being able to sleep last night was simply nerves about the whole thing. Entirely unfounded. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Justin, I hope you are settling into this year well. I know you were here last year but I expect that it's a bit different being a Hogwarts student rather than just a visitor. Have you made a decision about taking the practical or theoretical portion of Professor Dolohov's class?

I'm sure the transition can be difficult, just remember the prefects and I are here for support if you need it. Honestly we are here to help, not just catch people sneaking out after curfew for a snog.

I know I've said it before but welcome to the best House at Hogwarts!

Diggory,

Yes, thanks. I'm well comfortable among the rest of the House.

I'm sorry for not replying sooner; I was in lessons when you wrote and then I was going to say something at supper but--well, I heard about the accident. I say, I do hope Cadwallader will be all right? Smith said his was mere scrapes, and a wrenched wrist, nothing Matron couldn't put right in an instant. But he thought Anne's injuries were more severe. (She's not back from the hospital wing yet, is she?)

At any rate, as I was saying, I'd made so many friends last year that it's made me feel quite at home to be back as an official student. I shall be sure to say something if ever I should have questions or need assistance.

Cheers,

-J F-F
