Author's note. For anyone who reads my 'Hogwarts reads' series, I've got a poll up about how far the series goes. Check it out and vote if you're interested.

Thanks again for all the suggestions I've got.

Enjoy and please review.

Dear mum, dad and Ginny.

No I'm not dead, I just haven't had any time for writing letters. Anyway, Percy's always sending letters home, he'll have said I'm okay. But he told me that because of the Troll running around, I should personally send you guys a letter telling you I'm alright.

So yeah I'm alright, everyone got sent to their dorms when that Troll got in and no one got hurt. The troll was taken care of and everything's fine, no need to worry. Honestly, it's not as though I saw it or anything, you know Percy would have yelled my ear off even if I did.

The food here is really good, although not as good as yours mum, nothing beats your roast or chocolate pudding. Although I did really enjoy the Hogwarts Halloween feast, all those lovely puddings and sweets until that bloody troll showed up. It sucks we had to eat it back in the Common room although it did mean me and Harry could take some of the sweets to our room for later.

Oh yeah, you remember Harry mum? He's my best friend now and he's a really great bloke. He's isn't like I thought he'd be but that doesn't matter, it's great just having someone to hang out with who isn't an older brother or little sister. No offence Ginny, you'll know what I mean when you come to Hogwarts next year.

But I should warn you, History of magic is boring, honest to Merlin boring. I know what you'll say dad, that history is not that bad and when Bill tells it, it's not. But when Professor Binns tells it...it puts you to sleep. It's really that awful.

Um, anyway just so you know mum, most of my other classes are good like Flying. I'm really enjoying that and so is Harry. Hermione doesn't like it much though, it's the only class she can't memorise. Oh yeah, Hermione's my other best friend, she's a Muggleborn and she's super smart. I mean it, she knows all of our text books off by heart and is always getting good marks.

She makes me and Harry study which I know you'll like mum. I never thought I'd make friends with a girl but Hermione's not like all the other girls who giggle and stuff. You'll probably like her Ginny cause she's bossy like you. But nice, she knows quite a few wicked spells like this blue fire charm.

You were right dad, McGonagall is really strict but alright really. She's the one who made Harry the Gryffindor Seeker, can you believe that? She's tons better than old Snape, who is the worst teacher ever. Worse than boring old Binns, or our Defence teacher Quirrell who just stutters all the time, Snape is pure evil.

And I'm not exaggerating, he's really awful. He bullies Harry and this boy called Neville all the time, and the other day, he called Hermione a Know-It-All. I know she is a Know-It-All but he can't call her that. And he's always taking points for no good reason, he practically makes up rules and then says we broke them.

`Watch out for him next year Ginny, just look for a greasy haired bat swooping around and you'll know to run. Speaking of greasy gits, I've got to finish up this letter, I've got an essay for him and Hermione won't help until I've finished it.

I really am having a great time, the twins leave me alone now I've got some friends to back me up. I don't think they've gotten into trouble recently although Percy was telling them off earlier, but you know how he is.

Mum, could you maybe send Harry a little something for Christmas? It's just his relatives are really awful and I don't think he'll get anything decent from them. You don't have to send anything big, maybe just a little bit of your fudge. Oh and can you maybe send something for Hermione, I don't think she had many friends back home. It's always good to get presents from lots of different people.

I think that's all, I suppose I'll see you guys at Christmas time. I do miss you guys, sorry I haven't sent any letters before now but it's so great here. Like one big long adventure except we have to break to go to lessons.

Looking forward to seeing you guys again, don't worry so much about me mum.

Love

Ron
