SANARA SINISTRA: 14 October, 1939
My dear little Eddie,
I hope that you are well and enjoying yourself in the countryside. Perhaps you could write me a letter about the things that you have been doing and the friends that you have made. Does the family you are staying with have children of their own?
School is almost exactly the same in second year as it was in first year, except that now there are students who are younger than I am. My classes are only a little more advanced than last year. I think you will like Professor Herbert very much when you come here. His favourite food is also peas. He says it is because they are green like our House colour, but beans are also green and he doesn’t like them.
Sports started last week. We were beaten by Gryffindor. Minerva plays for their team and she is very good. She is much better than our Keeper, but he’s a seventh year, so he won’t be playing next year and maybe we can win. Do you think you will want tofly play?
It is beginning to get cold here. I hope that where you are is not so cold. Although snow fights are fun, it is very easy to get sick. And it is difficult to sleep when it is cold. I find it very annoying walking between classes a few days after the first snow, when it is all grimy and slipery.
Have you received a letter from Father? I think he is very busy with his work, especially because you are not there to play with him.
Take care, Eddie, and be good.
Much love,
