Mr Rosier sent me an owl this morning. That made me feel a lot better about everything. Both my transfiguration exam and AK and all of it really.

During the holiday he said I should be proud of my wizard blood even if Im not pure. That wizard blood is stronger than muggle blood so even in the way I look Ill be more like my mum than like the muggle. And I do look like my mum. I believed him but then came my exam results and they mostly werent so good.  And that made me wonder. And also I got knocked out so fast in AK.

But Mr Rosier said its fine. Lots of wizards have trouble their first term and go on to be brilliant. Also that AK is fun and his real son Evan used to play it but not to take it to seriously. He said my marks in History of Magic show I have a good mind and he suggested now Binns is going on about something Ive never read about before I should think about how Id make it interesting to see if that helps me pay attention.

And he sent me sweets! Neville and Ron meet me before dinner and Ill share, Ive got chocolate frogs and sugar quills and Bertie Botts and some things Ive never even seen before. Its wizard.

Mr Rosier also said one good thing about being a halfblood is my accomplishments are my own. I dont ever have to worry a teacher gave me a good mark to kiss up. I think the pureblood students from families that arent important sort of get that too tho. I mean I dont think anyone tries to kiss up to Neville, no offense Neville. Professor Carrow sure doesnt.

That reminds me of the other thing. Mr Rosier also sent me two books on transfiguration. He said that might help me a bit and I should practise outside of class. I really think I hate transfiguration but I want to make Mr Rosier proud glad he decided to be my foster father.

Rosier's doing well by you, Finnegan. Now mind you keep those sweets in your trunk and not under the bed, else you'll bring mice.

[alt_seamus]

Yes sir.

Well you should be glad people don't kiss up, its kind of awful.

We could trade sometime and you could try it the other way if you want!

Thanks for the sweets! When I opened the chocolate frogs you gave me, one of them was the Hengist of Woodcroft card that I've been waiting for forever.

Well-spotted: yeah, no one kisses up to me, or Ron, either, really (and no offence taken, either). Huh, I never really thought of it like that. Well, guess we can right be proud of our accomplishments, then, cause we really earned 'em (if we ever HAVE any).

[alt_seamus]

Yeah having some would be nice I think.

Oooh. Is all wizard blood stronger? So I'd be more like my father? I'm not sure

Thats what Mr Rosier says. He says its true for all halfbloods. He says halfbloods are very rarely squibs.

This is why they know mudbloods must steal their magic. Because wizard blood is stronger so it doesnt make sense magic would hide in muggles and then suddenly come out.

But he says the difference between a mudblood and a halfblood is like the difference between a dog and its master. You can dress a dog up in clothes and teach it tricks but its still a dog. And you could take a wizards wand away and you could make him kneel and grovel and bark if you used the Imperius curse. Like a dog I mean. But hed still be a wizard.

Oooh, I like that. Like the mudblood who was a dog. And he must be right. Mr Rosier must be, I mean. He's important. I know because I've heard people talking about him.
