Dear Colin.
I really miss you around here. it's so strange going to my last year of Primary School and you not being there with me like you've always been - I know we would have been going to different school anyway, but you're at a boarding school, so I haven't been able to talk to you like always.
It was fun going back to school and seeing my friends again, though, we didn't do much during the lessons and I have Mrs Anderson as my teacher, she's your old teacher, isn't she? We got our timetables, but it all sounds boring after seeing the sort of lessons you are going to have.
It was so annoying - Mum made me put that little dragon toy that I bought in Diagon Alley away in the cupboard when her friend came over last night. She said I have to keep stuff like that hidden because it would give away the secrets. It's a shame I can't show it to people, it's just amazing!
But apart from that, I let the toy fly around, it's fun to watch. It keeps landing on the lampshades, it was hard to catch without a wand though.
That's a great idea - if I don't get a letter too, I should totally stow away in your trunk because there is nothing more amazing than going to Hogwarts. I mean, what are the chances that a letter would arrive for me? Since we're 'muggles' (love this word, it's so funny), I probably won't get a letter too.
Harry Potter sounds so amazing. I loved hearing about him when we all visited Diagon Alley. I'm still reeling from that visit - we went through a brick wall, it was like a movie or something. I bet he was really friendly. He's probably used to having his picture taken by now. Take loads because I want to see absolutely everything!
Cool! I can't wait for you to get back and show me the pictures. You'll be back at Christmas, right? Do the pictures move like the ones we saw in that newspaper, because that was amazing! You can tell me all the stories about your time at Hogwarts and if you get any more chocolate frog cards, you can show me those. I still have a few frogs left, but mum said that we can go back to Diagon Alley when you come home for the holidays.
I'm confused! How can a ghost be 'nearly headless'? That sounds brilliant though. Are those the only ghosts? Or are there more than that? Are they friendly? How much like the ghosts in our tv shows are they like?
Peeves doesn't sound nice at all. Someone should tell one of the Professors what he is doing and see if they can stop him.
Are you going to learn to turn into an animal too? What animal would you be if you had the choice? How long does that take? I bet Harry Potter is going to learn, and you should too. I totally would if I get my letter. It would be amazing.
A flying car? Maybe we can make dad's Milk-truck fly? That would be so funny to see - Dad would go mental, but I bet he'd love it. He'd be able to fly above the traffic to deliver his milk, rather than driving like everyone else!
Ewww a fly? How gross! I'd much rather be a lion or a tiger or something amazing like a Unicorn or a Hippogriff (I still can't believe you let me read your schoolbooks)! Do those creatures really exist, and have you seen any yet? Or maybe something with wings, I can go flying then.
I have so many questions to ask you about Hogwarts, but mum is calling me for dinner and the owl is staring at me. It's creepy, so I'll sent this now, and hope for a quick reply so I can learn more about Hogwarts!
Talk to you soon!
Dennis.
