Easy Mistake ; Harry Potter

E I G H T Y S E V E N | The D.A.

Dear the girl who understands,

You don't have to tell me what Malfoy did was wrong, I already know. He's vile and horrible and I hate him. I really do.

Thank you and trust me, it was taking a lot of effort to try and walk away. Malfoy is really pathetic.

Yeah I know I shouldn't have punched him, El. I was trying not to because I knew Umbridge was watching the game too but you didn't hear him. He was saying some vile things and I just lost it. I know I need to be careful around Umbridge but it's hard when the world seems to keep testing me.

The Weasley's say thank you for your kind words. In Fred and George's words, you sound awesome and they wish you were really here so you could applaud us in person. Honestly, they are such prats.

Yeah, the Ministry is giving Umbridge every excuse to overrule the teachers of Hogwarts. And yeah I know, you should have seen everyone's faces when she announced she was the newly appointed 'High Inqusiter.' Everyone thought it was a load of rubbish and a joke. Funny that no one's laughing now though.

As for the Educational Degrees, she has loads. She likes to get Filch, the caretaker of Hogwarts, to hang all the Educational Degrees on the wall as you enter the Great Hall so every morning we are all reminded of all the ridiculous rules put in place by her.

The club is going way better than I expected actually. Everyone is doing really good and learning all the spells I've been teaching them.

Honestly, the teaching thing is quite fun. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. It's very rewarding.

So far I've just been teaching the basic spells that they hadn't all mastered but came in very useful for me when fighting off Voldemort such as Expelliarmus and Stupefy. After Christmas I'm thinking of teaching them how to produce a Patronus as its known that Voldemort has Dementors on his side, so the Patronus charm will come very useful.

No, Ron did not snatch the letter away from me because I threatened to hit him across the head with my Potions book. He did have a good try at stealing it from me though.

I wish I could say that the club was tiring me out enough not to get any more nightmares but that would be a lie. I still get them, not as often but the same nightmare seems to always arise some nights.

I don't understand the dream either. I just know that Voldemort really wants what's behind that door but like I said, everytime I get close to opening it, I wake up. I'm not entirely sure I want to find out what is behind that door. It could be anything.

I feel angry at Dumbledore for not speaking to me. But I honestly can't think of anything I might have done wrong for him to act this way.

Of course I'll write to you. I don't think I'll survive if I don't. And you'll be staying at your parents house for Christmas, won't you?

I haven't told loads of people about us but Ron and Hermione know. There is no pressure to tell anyone, just do it when you're ready.

Anyway, I need to go. I need to head to detention with Umbridge which as you can imagine is always a delight.

Love,

the boy going to detention.

(Hope everyone is staying safe.)
