First couple of weeks

Well, it's been a long time since we've blessed you with our presence, and we decided it was time to come out of hiding.

So, life has been interesting. The new firsties have been amusing to watch, especially our ickle ronnikins. It has made our hearts proud to see him making new friends. It's truly wonderful to read about his day to day activities, instead of having to glean what we can from letters. Truly, truly wonderful. 

We love you ronnikins! 

On to other, less pleasant things. Classes this year are interesting to say the least. In addition to last years classes we are taking Care of magical creatures, divination and Muggle studies. We didn't much fancy taking Arithmancy or Ancient runes. Lots of annoying homework in long dead languages is really not our cup of tea.
Care of Magical creatures seems to have a lot of potential, even if the teacher is a bit, what's that word of Sally-Anne's... vicious.
Divination was fun. Professor Carpenter was nice if a bit odd, and hopefully will not be a complete waste of time.
Muggle studies was very violent, we got to learn all about the wars and horrible things the muggles have done to each other. It's really quite like History of Magic, except Professor Carrow is quite a bit scarier than Binns. And with no magic involved.

Tryouts for the Quidditch team were last weekend. We tried out for beater, with both a bit more trepidation than last year, and quite a bit of joy at being on the other end of the bat. Hope we made it on the team, we seemed a little better than the others on the field, but you never know.

Anyway, much to do, and all that, we sincerely hope you have been greatly moved by our post,
