Mama,

I got your letter this morning just as you expected. Thank you for writing.

My first night went well. The Sorting Hat put me in Ravenclaw, and while the common room is very nice and I enjoy having a view of the grounds from Ravenclaw tower, I think the other Ravenclaws in my year are too much for me. One of them threw a tantrum at the sorting ceremony and then something happened last night that got forty points taken away from us. I think it was a fight.

A few of the boys are nice. I suppose I will do my best to befriend them.

I have everything I need, I think. I will let you know if that changes.

Love,

---
