IV. September 1
Dear Dad,
We're on the train headed towards Hogwarts now. I'm sitting in a compartment with Fabian and a couple other Gryffindors, but I can't sleep. On Platform 9 ¾, Gran was acting really strange! She almost forgot Rose's name for a bit, when she was waving at the Weasleys. I know Harry was busy talking to Percy, and Aunt Ginny was watching over Rose and Hugo, but I think Aunt Hermione noticed. I'll probably write her once we arrive at Hogwarts…I'm really worried about Grandma.
It's James' first year. He acts with bravado, but he's actually really scared. Uncle Harry's asked me to make sure James doesn't do anything stupid like he did. Apparently, they faced a troll in the bathroom in their first year! Aunt Hermione said she was traumatised from the event. Not to mention they had to face Voldemort for the first time. But we don't have to worry about that.
The lady with the candy trolley on the Hogwarts Express just arrived. I'm still working on my Chocolate Frog collection, and they added a bunch of new people on there after the War, Dad. I have about four copies of your card. Harry wins though; I have seven of his. I'll probably give some to James and Albus and Lily once they grow older. They still don't care about that sort of stuff, yet – they're too busy eating the chocolate.
The conductor's calling for us to change, so I'll be going now!
Love always, Teddy
