Oh, I'm doing fine. The weight's not important: it's just because I'm working hard at it all. I really do want to do well, and I've never had to try so hard at anything before. I didn't realise it, but we were all just very soft, living at school. It's been such a change to start training properly!

I'm glad your lessons seem promising. I'm sorry not to have had Professor Lestrange. I'm certain he'll be ever so much better different than Professor Lockhart. And watch out for Professor Vector: she likes to surprise you with little tests whenever she thinks the group is getting overconfident. Or when she suspects you're paying more mind to other things than her lessons! Especially just before Quidditch matches. Don't say I didn't warn you!
