Private Message to Mum and Dad

Hullo!

Sorry I didn't write last night. Things were a bit mad. You've probably heard already, but there were Dementors on the train. We're both alright. It was horrible when they came past our compartment on the train, we all felt awful, remembering every bad thing in our lives, like we'd never be happy again.

But then they went away, and we had some chocolate when we got to school and we all felt a bit better after that. Pip was a bit scared, but we all were, and he was pretty brave about it. He said he hopes the rest of school isn't this exciting, which was really funny!

Anyway, he was Sorted into HUFFLEPUFF!! The hat thought about it for a minute or two, but then it said HUFFLEPUFF and we all cheered like mad!

We were all feeling a bit funny last night, after the train, so we all sort of stayed together in the Common Room, but Pip got chatting with a few of the other new firsties, and they all seem like decent types, so I reckon he'll be alright.

I hope you're all alright at home too, and Laurie's not missing us too much. Have the babies come yet??!!

Love
Ernie
