I have always thought it is good to be friends with all kinds of people. It keeps things interesting!

I expect life in my family was a little less interesting than yours, with seven of you! I have only one sister and two brothers apiece, and as you might imagine we are all rather close, even though one of my brothers is rather younger. I do have no end of cousins, though; I suspect it must be the same in your family? In any case, my favourite memories are long before we went to Hogwarts, I think - I am sure those days of building forts out of blankets in the garden will never be matched! I am often tempted to try these childhood things again - but I imagine I would get some odd looks were I to sit under tables nowadays.

I bet as the baby of your family you are quite adored by everyone. And I am intrigued by all these stranger things you say you have done!

(I hope you will forgive my writing to you as if we are already friends, only I have never been much good at smalltalk.)
