Chapter 3
Mom,
Harrison Potter got sorted into Slytherin! Ron pitched a right fit at the table and now spends most of his days spouting the most absurd rumors around the common room - supposedly they sat on the train together, and he says that she’s the most freaky girl he’s ever met (i have no idea where he’s getting this from, but quite frankly it is rude and upsetting a lot of people).
Of course, I put a stop to it very quickly as I am the Gryffindor Prefect. The twins are helping as well, as annoying as their methods may be… though I will say that Harrison Potter is quite an odd girl. And I'm not saying it to be rude!
I don't know much about Harrison personally, though the Slytherins seem oddly protective of her - dare I say even loving.
Harrison is the most accepting student I have ever met! She helps everyone regardless of house and their feelings towards her - like a Hufflepuff, she’s always carrying a book around - though not as extreme as the bushy haired girl in Ron’s year - I think her name’s Granger? That girl is constantly walking around with a bag that’s about to burst at the seams! I wonder why she wasn't sorted into the claws as they’re all the bookish sort. Harrison also seems to emit this warm air, hardly any fights occur around her - not even between the Griffindors and the Slytherins!
Also, Harrison seems to always wear purple flowers in her hair on fridays. I have no clue what the flowers are, but they seem to be the same type every friday. Not to mention, apparently none of the professors call on her during lessons!
Anyhow, it’s only the first few weeks back and DADA is already in absolute shambles! Professor Quirrell disappeared, and the new DADA professor… I'll just say there is much left to be desired, don't get me wrong, Professor P (he hasn’t mentioned his last name at all! Just told us to call him Mister P!) has a great personality, but I wouldn’t say he’s the best at DADA - according to him, he wasn’t even applying for the DADA position!
My O.W.L.S revision is going splendidly - though DADA is a disaster, and I have already decided on my N.E.W.T subjects. Professor Mconagal says that… [insert a very long rant about his grades and careers and such]
Say hi to Dad and Ginny for me.
Love,
Percy.
