I have decided to join Duelling Club!
It will be every so much fun, people say, and Professor Lockhart is in charge, and people also say that he's ever so dashing, handsome, heroic, and also looks nice in purple trousers.
But beside that, it will probably be a good learning experience.
I don't know what to say about the Heir stories, except that I'm trying not to be anyones enemy, just to be on the safe side.
I do wonder about the ghost, though, because everyone said that the cat thought it belonged to Harry's mudblood, so maybe that made the cat an enemy, but why is the ghost an enemy?
Was the Gryffindor Ghost a mudblood, maybe?
I know they used to let them go to school here.
It wasn't even that long again, when you think about it.
How awful.
Tully is getting bigger everyday.
When I first got him he could fit in just one of my hands but now I have to hold him with two, and I have to hold on carefully, because he likes to wiggle.
If there's time after classes today I may see if Professor Slughorn would like to have tea with me.
I've missed chatting with him, and he is my favourite professor!

Morning, Duckie. Will you be bringing Professor Slughorn some plum cakes to tea?

[alt_hydra]

No.
Plum cakes are your favourite, no one else likes them!

Ah, that's nice. All this talk of dashing purple trousers and favourite professors made me wonder if you'd forgotten your old tea partner.

[alt_hydra]

Of course I didn't forget you Daddy.
Do you think Mummy will be pleased that I joined the Duelling Club?

As pleased as Tully with a very large carrot, I imagine. And displeased with me for comparing her to Tully in the first place.

[alt_hydra]

Oh good.
I wrote to her and told her but maybe she'll read this.
How is Rigel?

Your baby brother is at a wriggly stage himself. Mrs Baylock can scarcely hold him. It's accurate to say that he's thriving exceedingly well.

[alt_hydra]

He's going to be so much bigger than I remember when I see him next.

So he will. Now, I think you have a class soon, eh Duckie? Scoot along and I'll talk to you later.

[alt_hydra]

Alright, bye Daddy!
