Dear Mother,
I acknowledge that you do not enjoy me calling Rose the name Weasel. But I am sorry for that is who she truly is. She weasel into fights with me even though my new goods friends Lorcan and Lysander both insist she is not that bad. They tell me this, then Rose will begin picking fights. I think they just have a special soft spot for her. Poor guys.
Rose is impeccable at charms and potions. She top of the class just like her mother. Unfortunately I am second to her. Professor Slughorn gives her extremely high scores even though I am far better than her in potions. I am not exactly sure to why Professor would give her such high scores and me much less. But in Defense Against the Dark Arts, taught by that bloody know-it-all Potter, I am almost beating her.
As I originally thought Lysander, Lorcan, Teddy and I have all become rather close. But, unexcpectingly, a Weasley has joined our bunch. Her name is Dominique. She is one eighth veela. The thing is though she is veela she does not use her 'powers' abusively. She actually does not enjoy being part veela. I also enjoy her because her father, Bill Weasley, carries a decent amount of respect in my book because he actually has a little bit of money and he cares about blood purity.
The other day Rose flicked an extra pomegranate seed into my potion from across the room and it blew up in my face. And do let me tell you it was scalding hot. But Professor Slughorn didn't even say anything. Even though I know he saw Rose do it. The horrible little weasel is just plain horrible. I despise her.
I have enjoyed most of my time at Hogwarts so far (excepting the Rose part) and hope it will only get better. I will be sure to owl you again soon.
With much love,
