Dear God
To future me,
I've been at Hogwarts for a few weeks now. The leaves are changing into brown. It's getting a lot colder.
I'm thankful for everything you've given me this autumn. The food here is really good.
It's so beautiful here. Everything glimmers.
Even if I've forgotten to pray a few times it's only because I'm so terribly busy. I get so caught up in homework and my friends I just seem to forget.
There's not many others here that are as religious as I am, especially not anyone who came from a wizarding family. I know you have a plan for everyone but it does get lonely sometimes. Mary asks me about it sometimes and I think she enjoys hearing me speak about You but it doesn't feel the same as it did when I was at home.
I have spoken to one of James' mates, called Sirius Black, a few times, I think he gets it. Not the religious part (although he has said he was brought up going to Church every week, like me), but the feeling different. You know? We haven't actually spoke about it but I feel this connection with him that I don't really feel with anyone else. Just that kind of. Knowing?
Thank you for keeping everyone's health good, and for guiding me to good people. Lily and Mary and James and Remus and Dorcas especially. I really think I'll enjoy my time here.
I'm also really enjoying flying lessons. There's a rumour going around that James is going to be on the team before Halloween. How cool is that! He definitely deserves it.
I'm doing okay at all my classes. Lily is top of the class in nearly all of them! And Dorcas is sooo talented.
