Hey James—

Well, it’s only been a few days since Hogwarts Express rolled into London and I’m already going out of my mind. I swear, one of these days I’ll run away and come live with you! Mother says I’m to stay in London for the summer. She’s still mad about the way we pranked Slytherin last month. I can hardly stand the way Mother keeps going on and on about Regulus. Of course, he’s eating it all up. Ever since he was sorted into Slytherin, he’s been the favorite.

Wish you were here. You could skewer the git with your horns.

Haven’t told my family about being an animagus, and I’m not planning on it. If they can have their secrets, I can have mine.

Haven’t told you about that yet, have I? Something’s up with Regulus. Mother knows, but she won’t tell me. Says a Gryffindor can’t be trusted. I think it’s got something to do with what Dumbledore told us about at the end of the year, you know, about who to trust and who not to trust. Dumbledore’s a sharp one; he’s the only one I know who can condemn Voldemort without saying his name.

Write back soon! Any news on the Lily front? Heh, she’s too good for you, mate! Forget about her and come visit me!

Yours,
