Dear (Y/n),
How's it going? How's Beauxbatons? How's your first day at school been so far?
I'm on the Hogwarts Express right now and there are dementors gliding all over this place. They are so creepy. When one opened the door and looked into my compartment (It didn't have eyes, of course. But it seemed... Well never mind. You understand what I mean, don't you?) I thought it was searching for Sirius Black. But when it came in, things got dark and I felt depressed, like there was no happiness left in the world. I tried really hard to use the Patronus Charm you told me, but it didn't work. I couldn't think of anything joyful because I was too focused on sadness and grief and all... I'll just stay as far as I can away from them, I guess.
When the dementor glided away, everything came back to normal. The lights were on again. I stopped feeling depressed. But I can't stop thinking about what happened. Is the Ministry serious about their decision to let those Azkaban wardens "indirectly protect us by searching for Sirius Black at Hogwarts"? Because I don't feel protected at all.
I wonder what would Potter do if a dementor pay him a visit? That coward would probably make things a whole lot funnier.
Love,
Draco Malfoy.
