So that's who those were from. The tulips smelled so good, I might have lost them to Cordelia if they didn't have my name attached. She ate half the chocolates anyway, not that I minded sharing.

I'm doing the best I can with classes. I found a tutor for Potions, I think. Her name is Anne Moony and she lends me her notes in class. She's also in Slytherin, and that surprised me. Anne is very kind for a Slytherin, don't you think?

There haven't been any more dueling tournaments yet. I don't know if I should enter them. Professor Lissington made me clean his classroom for detention once, and now he's a little scary. I suppose that's a good thing for a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, now that I write it out.

How is London? I dream of it sometimes, visiting Diagon Alley and maybe even venturing out into the city. Muggles would be more interesting than writing my essay for Ancient Studies. I should get back to that now, so I will sign off now.

May this letter find you well (and warm).
