Chapter Ten
Dear Friend,
It is exactly as it sounds. Harry was being kept in a barred room! I'm so surprised and horrified and so many other things that I can't even write properly! I apologize for my horrid penmanship. Anyway, he's out now, and as much as I like to tell you how, I'd rather not incriminate Ron and his brothers. He's safe and at the Weasleys. That much I can say.
Other than that, can you believe we're going back to school? It's so odd to think of that. Last year I was just... An ordinary girl who had odd things happening around them and this year I'm a second-year student at a school of Witchcraft and Wizardry! I'm sure it's all the same to you, you grew up knowing you're a wizard. But, I didn't and it so wonderful and strange don't you think?
I'm going to Diagon Alley soon, and I'm so excited! Did you see all the Lockhart books on the list? He must be impressive if the new Defense teacher has us buying the entire set of his travels... Are you ready for school?
Sincerely,
Hermione Granger
P.S. Lolly sounds incredibly loyal and wonderful.
P.P.S. I'm sorry if I sounded so sporadic, I was just irritated.
P.P.P.S. Do you read any muggle literature?
