SUSAN BONES: 1 September, 1992
Dear Mum,
Okay, first of all, tell Dad I'm here, safe and sound. The train ride was fine, the banquet was fine, and the Sorting Ceremony, also fine. I caught up with all my Hufflepuff friends and my schedule seems okay.
Now, more important things. At the banquet I got my first sight of him! Of course, you know what he looks like from the photo in the Daily Prophet but I'll do my best to describe him to you. His blond golden hair was curled, he has the brightest white smile ever, and he was wearing agua aquamaureen aquamarr bright blue robes! I think Dad was wrong about there being a touch-up charm on the Prophet photograph!
Anyway, I have DADA with him later today, but I already saw him, right before Herbology. He looked brilliant in another set of bright blue robes but for some reason Professor Sprout didn't look to happy. I heard he's giving us a test on the first day! It sounds like Professor Lockhart is going to be a really tough teacher! I'm going to go study right now. Bye!
Love,
PS. A Gryffindor girl just said the test was hard -- if I do poorly on it, should I see if I can get you a conference with Prof. Lockhart to "discuss my progress in his class?"
PPS. Tell Dad I love him, too! And I think it will be an exciting year!
