alt_linusDear Father,
Thank you for the package. I'm sure I shall very much enjoy Biographies of the Great Arithmancers. Please don't fret that I need cheering up; Saturday's momentary moodiness was the result of some minor horseplay amongst chums, and was set right promptly. I only regret that I sent the owl whilst the hex was still affecting me.
In answer to your other question, I think Professor Dolohov is indeed high in the esteem of all students here at Hogwarts, and that his lessons are conducted with great clarity and all due precautions. (As you know, I have the happiness of receiving some extra guidance and encouragement from him from time to time, and I can attest that he is indeed an excellent imparter of knowledge, both practical and philosophical.) Mr Thomas' unfortunate demise certainly was due to no lapse of Professor Dolohov's, and everyone knows that. He is most careful with all of his students, and I believe he sees his position here as a calling to serve Our Lord by developing the talents that will continue to uphold and better the Protectorate. I feel we are quite fortunate to have him here at Hogwarts, and I am certain this opinion is shared by all.
In closing, sir, please give my best regards to Mother, and tell her not to worry. Joking hexes will happen, in school situations; she needn't fret that I am some sort of pariah or hexing-horse, but may be reassured that I am getting on well. Why, just today I was asked by the Lord Protector's son to assist him in a minor social matter. So you see, all is quite satisfactory there.
Sincerely,
your son
