Terry!! You're going to be so much better than me!! I'm so jealous!!!!
Harry lets me do whatever I want with his books. He's moved to a larger set of rooms with a suite and everything, because his Father says he's becoming a teen-ager and he might as well have a grown up room. There was a lot of fuss about it, which I don't see why, because it's not as though he got to pick the decorations or anything. They're just all Buckingham things, with lots of snakes and so on. But they moved a lot of books in there, things that they thought Harry would like, and nobody ever watches us, and Harry doesn't mind if I read them.
Actually he doesn't even mind if I practise saying the incantations. I don't think he'd mind if I got a fake wand and tried to do the movements but I haven't been brave enough to try. Anyway if someone is spying on us they'd see, wouldn't they? And it wouldn't be like a real wand so maybe it wouldn't help so much.
I asked Harry about it once and he just said, well, you're training to help me more in school, so that's part of your job, isn't it? As long as you help me do other things too, so we only have to have the house-elves in here once a day when they clean. I think he knows the house-elves spy sometimes and that's why he likes having me around, because he knows I don't spy.
Well, I do, only not for his Father.
But I think Headmistress McGonagall will look out for you, Terry, truly I do.
