Inside the package was a letter, a birthday card, a new book, and a scarf! Elizabeth knitted me a scarf in the Ravenclaw house colors, dark blue and bronze! It's very warm. Some of the other wizard children have scarves in their house colors like mine, but I'd never thought I'd get one. Isn't it lovely?
It's starting to get cold here, and the halls are becoming drafty, so this will definitely be getting a lot of use. It will be perfect to wear to the first Quidditch match next week!
I put my gifts in my trunk on my way to class. Luckily the question to get into the common room was easy and I got right in. I wore my scarf all day, except in Potions, I was too worried about getting it dirty.
I read and re-read my letter from Elizabeth a few time before going to bed. I included it here to remember it:
My Dear Emily,
I hope this package arrives in time for your birthday. I don't know how fast these owls can go between here and England.
I'm so excited you are in Ravenclaw house. From your description it's a perfect fit for you. You've always been a little bookworm. I remember visiting you at your parent's house and you begging to be read book after book till you couldn't keep your eyes open. I know your parents would be so proud of you right now, I know I am.
You've only been gone two weeks, but the house is so quiet without you. Even your godfather admits he misses you. He is very disappointed he didn't get to see you off to school, but he was needed at work. They are testing a new airplane propeller, to hopefully make planes more efficient and fly longer on less fuel.
Well its getting late and your godfather will be needing his dinner soon.
I love you so much and write back soon to tell me about school!
Love
Elizabeth
