Megan,

Please don't trouble over not having answered me sooner. I can well understand sometimes delays are unavoidable.

I say, though, do you mean to say that you've been--that you broke some bones? Oh, I say, I'm sorry to hear that. How did it happen? Surely you've been safe as houses at Hogwarts with no reason to come to any harm, what?

I didn't break them so much as lose them. It was a hex on someone's belongings Nott's something Madam Umbridge asked me to attend to. It sucked my bones out. Only the little ones on the ends of the fingers. But little things can be very important.

I am all right now. They came back. Thank Merlin for Skele-Gro. Even if it tastes foul. Which it does.

Madam Umbridge is going to make people stop putting dangerous hexes on their things. But we're done with the dorms now anyhow. So that's better then.

Oh, I see. So you've been the one attempting to...open other people's things? That they left in the dormitories over the holidays? I daresay you're the only student who's been inside every common room, what.

Have you had any other surprises?

It looks as if Madam Umbridge has been keeping you very busy indeed. I wonder if you've had any fun this holiday at all.

Mostly it has been Madam Hooch and me under the supervision of Madam Umbridge. Madam Umbridge is very busy but she comes in every so often to make sure we are doing things correctly.

The different common rooms are very interesting. But I like ours best. None of the others are so cosy as ours.

After the first few surprises they are not so surprising if you know what I mean.

I will be glad when lessons start again. Also I miss my guardian.
