Hey mum
how's things back at Grimmauld Place? Having fun without me? My dear cousin Narcissa told me you want me to write to you. Missing me already, eh?
Yeah, I'm in Gryffindor. Yeah, I know you're disappointed. Please don't send a Howler. I have earache.
It's great here. Made loads of friends. My best mate James says his mum, Dorea, used to be part of the Black family. Wow. so we're practically cousins. Judging by the fact i've never heard you mention her, I assume she was disinherited. Oh, and my other best mate, Remus Lupin, is a halfblood. Haha, I can practically hear you groaning in disgust and disappointment. And my OTHER best mate, Peter, is also halfblood. happy? no, of course not. i'm already shaming you, aren't i?
Anyway, got to go Mum. I'll either be staying here for Christmas or going to James's parents' place.
S.B.
