Dear Sloane
I am settling into being an employed adult but I am missing Hogwarts. I thought being a referee for the Quidditch League would be all fun and games but it isn't. Players threaten me, fans of the game threaten me. It is very exciting but I like my nose unbroken.

It will be announced soon so I feel safe informing you but Augusta Robins is being promoted Captain of the Holyhead Harpies. Are you at all a fan of her?

Wally,

I don't think I could be on that side of the game, so you've made if further than I would have! I'm sure you'll figure it out. Have you had to referee for Dad's team yet? I feel like that might be sticky.

That's so exciting! I am a big fan, I want to play for them when I graduate. Hopefully I get to meet her sometime before that!

Everything here feels like it's starting to get into that frenzied pre-exams feeling. I'm glad I only have class exams this year. I don't look forward to NEWTs, OWLs were bad enough.

Wishing you all the best, give everyone a hug for me!

Love,
Sloane

Dear Sloane
No, I have not had to referee fathers team yet but then again, it isn't the Quidditch game season yet. Since March and April are the only months that are off season with just the practice matches between teams, it sort of feels like I am being eased into refereeing. We'll see how different things are when the actual season begins in May. I am also not the only referee so maybe one of the others will be assigned to his team too. Who knows!

NEWTs were terrible. They will haunt my dreams. Avoid them as long as you can.

I will not hug everyone for you but I will tell them you send them a hug.
