my summer

[alt_seamus]

Mr Rosier had me work with a tutor all summer again, but this summer it was less writing and more magic.

I'm better at Transfiguration than I was before. And Charms. The main thing Mr Larson (the tutor) wanted me working on was Dark Arts, though. Even though I didn't know if I'd be selected to study it. Mr Rosier said that was fine, I could study it on my own regardless but he had a feeling I'd get in. And I did! I've read the textbook but mostly I worked through some supplementary books Mr Larson ordered for me. There's one book that's just called 'Will and Belief' that's really written for Gryffindors. I don't know if anyone else in Gryffindor this year is starting Dark Arts, but if anyone is they should definitely read it. Let me know and I can get you a copy, though probably not before school starts.

I saw Dean a few times and I went to Draco's party but other than that I pretty much spent the summer with Mr Rosier and Mr Larson.

I can't wait to have Mr Lestrange for Defense! That's brilliant, that is. Does anyone know if they've picked a new Head of House for Gryffindor, what with Lockhart not coming back?

Hey Mate,

Guess what! I got into Dark Arts too, and I didn't even try for it. I found out the day we went to buy books. If you are done with 'Will and Belief' by the time we meet on the train can I borrow it then. Or if you could possibly get you hands on another copy before Wednesday, I can send Bast to you to pick it up.

Let me know. Looking forward to seeing you guys again.

Excellent, I'm glad I won't be the only one in our House. I'll get you a copy on the train on Wednesday.

How'd you get in if you didn't try for it?

I mean, it's good that you're doing it, I suppose, but if you didn't want to do it, and you're taking someone's place who did...that's not so good. You know?

I'll tell you what you seek to find, on the train Patil.

Not everyone needs to know, and i can see I've mad a mistake in some of what I have wrote. But I am not sorry that I am in the class.
