Dear Mother,
I got into Slytherin! Was there ever any doubt I would? The feast was amazing last night! Hogwarts is just as great as you and father have always said it would be. The common room looks better than I ever could have imagined. Theo, Greg, Vince and Pansy were sorted correctly as well. I cannot wait for classes to start. I think Potions will be my best subject, or maybe Transfiguration.
Harry Potter was sorted into Gryffindor last night. I know father had asked me to befriend him, but I think I messed up my opportunity already. I may have said a few things that came off as snobbish or maybe just rude. I didn't mean to.. I just wanted him to be friends with me and I started saying things that father would have wanted me to say. I hope father is not too upset over it. It's not like I can be friends with a lion anyways.
I was wondering if I may ask you something... Father has always said that muggleborns are scum, and dirty, and ugly. On the train, I met a first year witch. We spoke for a bit. She was really knowledgeable about Hogwarts and was really kind to me. I assumed she was simply another pureblood I hadn't had the pleasure of meeting yet. But then she said her parents are muggles. I thought mudbloods were supposed to be stupid. She wasn't! And she was pretty, too! I don't mean pretty, just not ugly. I'm confused. Is he wrong? I hope he was wrong. I'd like to speak with her more, maybe privately since she is a Gryffindor as well. Were there any muggleborns here when you were here? What were they like?
I miss you, Mother. Theo is awake now so we're going to head to the owlery before breakfast.
Love,
Draco
