alt_meganI had a lovely Christmas this year. And I am really grateful to my guardian for it. She gave me a gift! It's a necklace that used to be her sisters, and I got to wear it for the whole afternoon. As long as I didn't touch it and get fingerprints on it. And I didn't. Then she took it away to keep it safe for me. Until I'm older.
And I got new dress robes too. But they don't quite fit, but I had to wear them anyway on Christmas when my guardian had all her friends over. But I looked really nice, even if I couldn't move my arms much and the lace was digging into my neck. All my guardian's friends said I was sweet, and so quiet. And I was.
But then my guardian told them I probably failed my exams. That's because when my guardian asked me how I'd done, and I told her I didn't fail, but she kept asking and now I'm not sure any more. I wish I'd revised more for the last ones. I thought they would be easy. And maybe they were. But I couldn't say I'd definitely not failed. So now my guardian thinks I did. And all her friends looked at me after that. Even when I recited the poem my guardian had me memorize, and got it perfect. I could tell they were thinking poor thing, she sounds good but she probably failed her exams. But I still didn't mess up the poem.
Oh! I'm glad I'm going to Susan's soon. Even though it's nice here. I'm looking forward to meeting her brothers and sisters. I think it'd be brilliant to have siblings. Only maybe not babies like Sally-Anne's foster family. I might drop them.
I wanted to go outside today, but my guardian said it was too cold. And she's right. I'd probably catch a horrid cold. And then I couldn't go to Susan's. I feel sniffly anyway. It's cold in here. Except in my guardian's parlor, with the fire, it's really hot. But she doesn't want me in there today, so I'm sitting in the room above. It's warmer here than any of the other rooms. And I can watch the winged horses in the neighbor's field from here. They have special blankets that go around their wings. But you'd think the wings would keep them warm. Sometimes the woman from next door rides them. Wouldn't that be brilliant! So long as you didn't fall off. Or sit in the wrong place and get in the way of their wings and make it crash.
I think my guardian has got used to me not being around. She hasn't even asked me to polish anything. I used to have to polish things all the time. The house elf isn't good at polishing. I wonder who does it now. I don't want to ask, or I'd probably have to do it.

Thank you. It's really nice of you to say that.
