"Briallen, I’m hoping that your year at Hogwarts was as memorable as it could be without injecting too much danger. If I’m wrong, I’m sorry but I did my best. With any luck, your relationship with the Dursleys will be different from the one I had. When I got home from my first year, I was handed a long list of chores that had to be done or there’d be Hell to pay. My trunk and Hedwig had been stuffed into the spare bedroom and I was told that if any noise was heard, she’d be disposed of and everything I owned would be burned.’
