September: Potions

Dear Professor Bennett, 


My name is Trin Paige. I’m in Ravenclaw House and am eleven years old. I was born in Inverness, Ireland, and my father was a wizard. My mom didn’t like that he had a whole second life, so she left us and we decided to move to Hogsmeade so we didn’t have to hide the fact that we were magical anymore. 


I really don’t know how I feel about Potions. I figured it was one of those courses I should take, because it’s something all witches and wizards should know… and Dad says there are a lot of potions that are super useful… I just don’t really know much about them and I’m afraid to mess something up… but I guess you’ll help us with that, right? 


There's not really a lot I know about this subject. Dad is more of a book-knowledge, magical creatures kind of wizard. He never really did much with potions or herbs or things, but he knew about them of course. I want to learn more about what potions are and how useful they are… Frankly I think charms and spells would be more helpful, but I am open to be proven wrong! 


You seem like a really nice teacher though… I like that you don’t hesitate to admit that this will be a hard course, and you’ll be willing to help us along the way. Hope you’re okay with helping me a lot! 


From, Trin.

My dad is a wizard, and mom left us when I got my letter because she wasn't magical. After that, Dad and I moved to Hogsmeade."   She looked at the board and smiled back to the class, taking her wand out to show them. "This is my wand. It's ten and a half inches long and is made of Laurel and Peacock Feather. I think the wand chose me because people who own it are skilled in lots of different things, and I like learning all sorts of stuff! Apparently owners of the wand also are good at keeping secrets, which I am!"   Trin looked at the next question and remembered the answer from the professor's lecture. "The difference between charms and transfiguration is that charms only change things a little bit, and not for long. When you do a transfig...
