Thanks again for having us

to look at the photographs, Sandoval. It was wizard to see you and hear about your programme. And for everything else. I know you're really busy with training, so it was doubly kind of you to let us come.

Your home is utterly nift, too. The tiles in that Arab room are gorgeous. And the fountain! It's so stupe, how the photographs hung suspended in the water like that. Parvati said it was good to see Honoria. And your father was ever so nice. It's too bad Orion didn't come say hello. But the rest was really amazing. And Parvati thought the Turkish coffee was ever so elegant.

I'm having a think about all we talked about, too. Your advice means a lot.

Has everyone else got their books yet? That DA textbook looks wicked. Practical Curses for Every Occasion? Nift. And who else is taking Arithmancy? I can't wait for that, either, because Professor Vector's really such an amazing Head of House and I've been looking forward to taking her class ever since first year.

I'm in Arithmancy too. I'm really excited about it!

I'm taking Arithmancy, Dark Arts, and Care of Magical Creatures. We got our books a few weeks ago, and I've already looked through almost all of Practical Curses. It's well snitch, though.

I've never really spoken with Professor Vector. What's she like?

Oh, she's brilliant! Whenever anyone asks a question and she's not sure of the answer, she'll ask a riddle. And she's got a wicked sense of humour, too. This one time, Francis Capper tried to claim he and Chambers hadn't been snogging when she called a House meeting, and she asked him all sorts of questions and told him to answer as quick as he could, you know? So she started with easy ones like 'What are four and four?' and 'Who was the first wizard to cast the Cheering Charm?' and once she got him into a real rhythm, she asked, 'What colour are Chambers' knickers?' and he answered her! In front of everyone!

Well. You sort of have to know Chambers to know why that's funny. And Capper, too, I suppose. But it was dead funny. And he hasn't missed any sort of meeting since.
