Oh, Merlin! I never thought of poisonous houseplants as a potential hazard for aurors, but now that you've said it it makes perfect sense. How horrible it would be to be woefully unprepared to encounter anything as vicious as a Venemous Tantacula! Perhaps you ought to continue on with all of your subjects, so that you never encounter something without a rudimentary knowledge of what it must be. I would be devastated heartbroken most upset if harm were to befall you.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can add anything else to my roster this year. I'm considering leaving the flying club too so that I can spend more time studying. However, I'm always available to heal you or our friends if such a need arises. Madam [Nurse] will manage alright, I'm sure.

Congratulations on achieving high OWL scores! I never expected less of you. Your mother and Anne must be delighted.

We've made it nearly a week now with no further goat related injuries. I pray the trend continues. I look forward to your next letter!
