Ronald, dear,

Your father has already written just about everything I would tell you myself. I only want to add that I know it can be extremely painful when you are having difficulties with fellow students at school. I went through a period in my fourth year at Hogwarts where I unfortunately got into a grudge war with several other people, which led to a tit-for-tat exchange of hexes that went on for several months. I gave as good as I got, but the end result was a great deal of trouble, humiliation and hurt feelings for everyone involved. Not to mention detentions! Between the four of us, we cost our respective houses over three hundred points that year.

I'm not sure I can pass along any particular wisdom from that experience other than yes, I know it hurts, and now I avoid grudge matches like dragon pox. I know how tempting it is to escalate the battle, but from my own experience, I've concluded that in the end, nobody wins.

I've made some cinnamon shortbread this morning, and I'll be sending a package to you via owl. I also managed to get my hands on six back issues of Quidditch Today which will also be included. I hope they will help you get your mind off things.

Do keep your chin up, dear. Write back if you need to talk things out some more. We always love to hear from you, no matter what's on your mind.

All my love,
Mum
