Morgan,

Quidditch sounds like a lot of fun! I wish I could play or just watch a game in general. Out of all the positions the most interesting ones seem to be the Seeker and the Chaser. You're going to have to tell me about it. I get the feeling you're going to be telling me about a lot of things these next few years.

Ha ha ha! A howler? That name sounds so fitting. It must have been so embarrassing for his brother! Congrats, Albus or Al! Does he prefer Al or something else entirely? Albus just kind of sounds like an old man name. I'm not making fun of him or anything, it just… Albus? Not the best name. His parents must have been drunk or something. You've got an interesting group going there, Morgan.

Halloween is coming up soon and I'm so excited! The neighborhood is slowly coming to life with Jack-O-Lanterns and spider webs all over in the trees and bushes. I love this time of year. Screw Christmas, I prefer Halloween! We're going to carve pumpkins this Saturday. I wonder if I can convince my mom to make pumpkin pie? Still trying to figure out my costume this year though. Maybe I'll be a thief or a pirate or something. How about you? Are you going to dress up? How are you going to go trick or treating?

A ghost as a teacher?! You've got me curious. I look forward to your next letter!
