Dear Daddy,

Of course you're right. Crumple-Horned Snorkacks do exist. The other's just don't want to admit they haven't heard of such an interesting creature.

Our new defense against the dark arts teacher is horrid. I know it's wrong to say, but I hate her. She looks like a fat toad and I could sware I heard her croak. Do you suppose that she really is a toad in human form? I've just thought of something! What if she's one of the toads from the lake! Maybe they've sent her to murder all of us in our sleep so Hogwarts can be taken over by an army of evil toads, or maybe she works for Voldemort! Yes, maybe the toads in the lake have joined him! We might be surrouned by toads in human form! I hope I'm wrong, but should stay on my guard just in case. I overheard Harry and his friends talking about her. I don't think they like her much either. Well, I'd better go. Cho Chang's coming and I think I should ask her to make sure she's not a toad.

Love you,

Luna
