The tired first year slowly dragged her feet as she made her way into the courtyard outside. It was actually becoming a lot warmer outside (finally) & she certainly didn't want to be spending it inside, regardless of her current old state or not! Holding onto a piece of folded up parchment in her tiny hands, she made her way towards a bench, deciding that this would be the place she'd read her letter. After taking a few moments to carefully place her bum down on the bench, she was soon opening her sealed letter. A brief second did make her wonder who it could be from & then she'd realized it could be no one else other than...her father.

Once settled & her letter opened, the first year began to read over her father's letter. From the looks of it, it seemed that her father was becoming very upset with the little girl that she hadn't been writing to him as often as she'd promised before she left to come to Hogwarts. And he felt that she hiding secrets from him & possibly going against her wishes by interacting with dangerous strangers. Josette soon lowered the not very nicely worded letter & slightly drooped her head feeling terrible. Had she really been such a terrible daughter to make her wonderful father worry so? Well...it's not she had been intentionally trying to upset him. But why would he write such mean words like that? Josette closed her eyes tightly as she tried not to let herself get upset...or worse, cry in public. It was something she definitely didn't want to do, especially since it was such a nice spring day outside.
