Hey Everyone,
I miss you all tons and bunches. I'm having a great time at Hogwarts and learning lots of new things. Yes, Annora, I am making friends. I'm not always a loner you know? I get to learn how to change objects from one thing to another, we call that Transfiguration. I get to make potions, and fly on a broom, just like a witch from a fairy tale. That's what they call us you know, witches and wizards. It sounded really mean to me at first, but I'm getting used to it.

I have the most wonderful bed here, in a dormitory I share with a bunch of other girls. It's like a party all the time. When I first got here, we all got "sorted" into different groups that they call "Houses." Your house is supposed to be like a mini-family. There are four different ones, and you all live in the same section of the school. They all have one teacher who is over them, and lots of students of all different ages. Also their own sports teams, and a living-room area that they call "The Common Room." I got sorted into Ravenclaw, which is supposed to be the house for all of the smart people (take that, Zeke and October!).

Anyway, I'm learning so many amazing things, and I miss you all very much. You're supposed to send letters using owls, so just use the one I send with this letter for a return letter. All it needs is my name I think. I hope, because I don't know the address for the school.
Hope to hear from you soon!

Dear Iestyn,
This is all really weird. I'm trying to act super-positive for everyone, but I don't know about this. I've heard stories about time-lords sucking people's lives and creatures that can take away your soul. It's frightening. The people for the most part are really nice, but I'm in this house for the smart people, and I get the feeling I'm letting them down, because I am not really that quick of a learner, and I'm already behind most of them because I don't know anything about this world.

I think maybe I'll just take a year, because I'm not a quitter. I'll do a year, then go back to muggle school with you. The castle is really cool though. Maybe you can come visitsometime? There has to be a parent visiting day, right? There are all of these staircases and they move, so you have to run up or down really fast if you want to end up where you thought you were going. And the food is amazing. Nothing against mom, but you know how she sometimes is....like the ham that was so salty daddy got sick? Or the time she made those...things in the muffin tin with the wonton wrapper? Well, the food here is amazing.

Also, I have my own bed. Which I know isn't supposed to be novel, but I had a great bed at daddy's house, and since mom made us move, I've been in the fold-out with October. I feel like there is so much space everywhere. It's like an amazing sense of freedom that I used to have, and not I have it again. I really wish you were here, Ies. Life is not the same without your laughter and crazy pranks.
I'll see you at Christmas?
