Dear Brother of mine

You would be immensely proud of me after what happened at school on the first day back. It was lunch time and Peri Polkiss, Piers Polkiss' sister, was being the school bitch as usual. Apparently Dudley told Piers and she overheard, or something, that I had been crying (well excuse me for missing my older brother) and she was giving me grief over it. Well as it turns out anger is a good motivator. You know she's over a foot taller than me, us Potters and the short gene, well anyway it took less than 10 seconds and I didn't receive a mark.

I know revenge doesn't solve anything but bloody hell that felt good. She called me a cry baby but the way she was squealing after I had finished with her is I think far more pathetic. Unfortunately the school told Vernon and he gave me a talking to, well yelling to I suppose is the term. Good news is he's still treating me with caution, just sent me to my room and until dinner. I think I'd best avoid him for a few more days though. He's scary and while you've got my back I'd rather not call for the Hagrid help, even if it might be nice to see some more transfiguration.

I still really, really hate it here but things aren't as bad as they used to be. Still get three proper sized meals, don't know how long that'll last though.

Lots of love

Emma

Harry, this time, was in his dormitory when he read Emma's letter. He smiled, his sister was alright, the thing with Vernon was to be expected, he just had to keep asking how she was doing until he went back to Privet Drive

Emma

You won't believe what happened, I got challenged to a duel at midnight in the trophy room by Malfoy. Git tipped off Filch, the caretaker, and me, Ron and Hermione, who tagged along trying to stop us from going for a duel, and Neville, who was stuck outside the fat lady's portrait after forgetting the password. Anyway we ran for it and ended up in the forbidden Third Floor corridor, did I tell you about that? I can't remember. But the point is it's forbidden, restricted and so on and now we know why. There was a huge three-headed dog. I am not joking. We had to run for it again, luckily no one saw us though.

Neville is still terrified and Hermione is not talking to us. We can live with that though, she may not be trying to invade my privacy so much anymore but she is a bossy girl, drives both me and Ron mental.

Anyway I have some great news. During the day before meeting the Cerberus we had a flying lesson in which Neville got injured and had to be taken to the Hospital Wing. Malfoy took his Remembrall, don't ask, and flew into the air I went up after him. It was a stupid thing to do and we were told not to but instead of expelling me McGonagall took me to the Quidditch Captain and told him I was to be the next Seeker. Apparently Dad played the game, the Professor said I must have inherited his talent. There is nothing like flying on a broom, as soon as I get the chance I am going to teach you. The sense of freedom is unbelievable, the joy of gliding through the air is just amazing.

Anyway I really miss you, I can't believe we've only been apart a month, it feels so much longer. I have to go now, Ron and I have been neglecting our homework and we need to get some stuff done or we'll get ourselves a detention.
