Dear Dad,
It was wonderful to get your reply! It's so much fun to write letters. I just love the smell of parchment all ready to be written on!
Not much has happened lately. I'm still no better in potions. Snape says there's not much hope for me, but that's okay. I don't really find potions all together very interesting. What I like is Care of Magical Creatures. Not because of the lesson, which is rather dull (they only teach about boring animals and not the rare and interesting ones like the Snorkacks), but because I already know about the creatures and can have a nice long time to think and stare around at the world.
Did you know some people seem to think it rude to stare? I think there's nothing wrong with staring at people. What are eyes for? I mean, people can stare at birds as they fly overhead, why can't we stare at people? I just don't understand the way other people think. And they think I'm weird?
Love,
Luna
