Dearest Papa,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BROOM!!! I absolutely LOVE it, and I promise to take such good care of it! And I PROMISE to be extra careful when I play too!!! Unfortunately the Gryffindor team this year is quite full, so I’m planning on practicing as much as I can in the quidditch club so I can try out once there is an opening! I was so sad when I found out. There’s this silly boy in my house that thinks the Ballycastle Bats are better than the Montrose Magpies! Can you imagine? I really want to prove to him how great the Scottish are at quidditch!

Missing you so much,
Mimi
