Public Message to Arista Selwyn
Jan. 31st, 2013 09:29 pmDear Arista,
Headmistress Umbridge said if I wanted to write to you, I shouldn't use a private message because people want to know what I say. Seems sort of funny that anyone would care what I've got to say, but I wouldn't want to argue about something like that.
Anywiz, I thought you'd want to know that Satsuma is doing well and enjoying his new life here at school. He wanted me to tell you a few things about what he's doing here because he thought you'd be curious about Hogwarts and about what he's getting up to!
For the first week, he spent all his time in my dormitory, which is at the top of one of the highest towers. Every day, he sat on a different window seat and looked out. One day, he looked out towards the lake and Hogsmeade, way off in the distance. The next day, it was the Quidditch pitch, and he told me all about the drills the Hufflepuffs were running during their practice. Another day, he looked out over the lawns and the greenhouses, and said he could see Professor Sprout's students coming and going all day. And then on Friday, he was looking out towards the Forbidden Forest, and he said he got to watch loads of interesting birds circling around and around over it.
After that week, though, Satsuma decided he wanted to see more of the castle, so one day he stowed away in my satchel and came along to the great hall for breakfast. I don't think anyone saw him, but he peeked out and said he could see everyone's knees under the table. He thought that was dead funny. Oh, and he really liked it when the owl post arrived. I don't know if he'd ever seen that many owls before, ever, but he was really keen to watch them swooping down with people's parcels and letters. He said breakfast smelled off, though. The kippers were transfigured, I guess, which I never knew. I reckon a cat can tell about that, though. Even a stuffed one.
And then this week one day, he hid in my satchel again when it was time for Astronomy practical. I think he wanted to see the stars and be outside, only it was a really dire night what with its drizzling and being so cold, so he snuggled down inside my bag and I didn't even know he was there until I got back afterwards and found him curled up all sound asleep. I don't blame him, really: that's a super late night when we have Astronomy. Only, I guess cats like to be awake in the night for hunting, don't they? I think Satsuma's different, though. He must have been used to sleeping when you slept, don't you think?
I hope you are having a good term at school and that you aren't missing Satsuma too much. He asked me to tell you he misses you, but that he's glad to be here at Hogwarts where there are loads of real cats and kneazles to make friends with. Maybe I can tell you about some of his new friends next time I write.
Keep well until then.
Your friend,
Ron Weasley
