Dear Mr Potter

Dear Mr Potter,

I first met you in 1998, when I was 6 years old. Since that day, I have never turned back. You have taught me to stay brave no matter what I'm facing. Hermione has taught me that being a nerd is not something to be ashamed of. Dumbledore keeps reminding me that music is one of the most powerful forms of magic there is. Who better personifies the fact that you can't judge someone simply on how they appear than Snape? And Hogwarts has given me a home to return to no matter what.

Thank you J.K Rowling for giving me an alternate reality to live in when my reality got too much, and for creating the Harry Potter community for us Muggles to be a part of. And Mr Potter, thank you for always being here for me.

It's been 13 years now since I got onto the Hogwarts Express alongside Harry, Hermione and Ron, and was sorted into Ravenclaw. Although all the books are now written and all the movies have been released, it isn't over. It will never be over in our hearts and our lives.

Ailsa, 19.
Ravenclaw.
