I find it much easier to say things in letters than in person as well.* What sort of things do you wish you could say to people, if you were bold enough? (Don’t feel bound to answer that. Mrs. Benwick might not be pleased with some of the possibilities. Good day, Mrs. Benwick!)

I can barely think of graduation yet; it still feels quite far away, and I suppose my future is quite open in that vague, horrifying way, where I have no idea what to do with it. But I am interested to leave school and remember there’s a whole world outside of it.

That’s why I like History, so much has happened that’s worth remembering. Besides that, I am in Arithmancy, Ghoul Studies, and Astronomy, Herbology and Potions with you, I suppose! And I take Art too, not that I’m any good. Do you have a favourite amongst your classes? By the pseudonym you chose, my guess would be Herbology, but that might just be because I like it best. I’ll forgive you if it’s not.
