Having recieved a letter already from home, Ellie made her way to the owlery with a letter she had just written. There were many snowy owls there, but Godric spotted Ellie enter, and flew to sit on her shoulder. She fed him a few owl treats and stroked his feathers as she re-read the letter she had written.

Dear Mummy, Daddy and Joseph,

Thank you so much for your letter. I miss you all so much, but I think I am settling in now. I talked to Professor Dumont, our head of house, and he was very nice and liked the picture that I gave him. I drew him a Gryffindor lion. I have had some classes. History of Magic and Defence Against the Dark Arts. DADA is my favourite. I got to practice some spells! Locomotor Mortis and Stupefy and stuff. And for our homework we had to get some Cornish Pixies back into their cage, which was quite hard. I hope Professor Lawson was pleased with it. And now I must do my History of Magic homework.

I love you all,

Love Ellie xxx

"Take this to Mummy, Godric," she said, attaching the letter to his foot. She watched him fly, gracefully, south, before leaving the owlry.
