I am pleased to hear that mother has been allowed to visit. She was distraught without you and I this summer and was only allowed a short visit with me in August before I returned to Hogwarts. This year has been much different than any other. No madmen running around trying to murder teenagers, it’s... quite normal. I think I’m beginning to like normal. My mind healer informed me that normal might actually feel abnormal to me. She was not wrong.
