It’s been an eventful first week here - we have a new Care of Magical Creatures teacher - she’s good but we miss Hagrid. And we have a new Defence teacher too - a woman called Umbridge. You probably know, but she’s the Hogwarts High Inquisitor as well. She’s been inspecting our lessons and stuff - Draco’s had a run in with her, but it’s okay now, it’s all sorted. I, on the other hand, have kept myself firmly out of trouble so far. Let’s see if it lasts!
