Well, it's kind of complicated to explain. Why I didn't go home. But we all stayed last year because my parents were visiting my brother, Charlie, at the dragon preserve, and we couldn't all go along there. I kind of like it here when it's almost empty like this and there are no lessons. Anywiz, it's okay.

Yesterday Professor Brutka came and played a game of chess with me, and then I went with him to the owlry because some of the school owls have got colds or something, and he needed to check on them. They seemed all right to me, but I guess maybe it's hard to tell if an owl's caught cold.
