[Dear Mom and Dad:
Although I just left home, I already miss you. I hope you are in good health and happy.
Yesterday we arrived at Hogwarts on a crimson steam train. The school is a majestic castle with meadows, forests and lakes nearby. I have to say that the scenery here in the early morning is very charming.
It was already evening when we arrived at the school, and the first thing we did was sorting. I think you all know that Hogwarts is divided into four houses - the brave and generous Gryffindor, the upright and loyal Hufflepuff, the wise and knowledgeable Ravenclaw, and the ambitious Slytherin...]
Having written this, Wade's pen paused slightly.
He suddenly thought that among the four colleges, the other three colleges valued the quality of students when admitting students, but Ravenclaw only required ability.
So... smart and brave people might go to Gryffindor, such as Dumbledore and Hermione; smart and loyal people might be admitted to Hufflepuff, such as Scamander (the protagonist of the "Fantastic Beasts" series) and Cedric; smart and ambitious people would be in Slytherin, such as Voldemort and Snape.
What about the "smart people" who stayed in Ravenclaw? They may be smart and quick-witted, but smart people are often better at seeking benefits and avoiding harm. They are more likely to retreat in the face of difficulties and dangers and choose a more relaxed and beneficial way.
In order to achieve something, in addition to the brain, spiritual qualities are the core of the driving force - either to move forward courageously, or to be tenacious, or to be ambitious. People who are smart but immersed in their own world and do their own thing will often become weirdos in the eyes of others.
Therefore, in the plot, Ravenclaw has the least presence among the four houses of Hogwarts. All the Ravenclaw members who appear in the story, whether they are still studying or have graduated, except Qiu Zhang, are more or less neurotic.
Thinking of the Sorting Hat saying that he was the best fit for Ravenclaw, Wade frowned a little unhappily. Then he thought again - what kind of person he was was not something that a hat could decide. Moreover, the Sorting Hat had made mistakes more than once or twice, such as when it sorted the cowardly Peter Pettigrew into Gryffindor.
Wade paused for a moment, then continued writing.
[A talking hat sorted me into Ravenclaw, which I think is the best recognition of my intelligence. I really plan to learn as much as possible during the seven years of study, because I heard that there is no place in the whole UK with a richer collection of books than Hogwarts. I have to say that the wizarding world is far less far-sighted than the Muggle government in this regard. There is no so-called public library here. The precious books are either hidden in the school or in the private study of some noble families.
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore is a strange man. He has long silver hair and a silver beard. His temperament is exactly the same as the mysterious wizard that people imagine. He is just like the living Merlin. Can you imagine it? His speech at the opening ceremony was: "Fool! Crybaby! Scum! Twist!" Probably no one knows what it means. But even if they don't understand it, it's much better than that long and boring speech. Because after he finished his speech, many delicacies appeared on our table (yes, they appeared suddenly, magic is really amazing), and we were already very hungry at that time.
While being a little weird, this professor is also very humorous, kind, gentle, and he is also the greatest wizard of our time. A classmate who comes from a wizard family told me that because of Dumbledore, Hogwarts is also recognized as the safest place in the world. So you don't have to worry about me encountering any danger in school, and the students here will not curse others for no reason. They are no different from children in ordinary schools.
In addition, my college, Ravenclaw, has a separate tower located on the west side of the castle. After dinner, the prefect of the college led us to the tower, and we had to answer the door knocker correctly to enter the lounge. The lounge is a very wide round room with many stars painted on the dark blue dome and the thick carpet is also covered with stars, which looks quiet and elegant. There are many arched windows around, with bronze silk hanging down. Through the windows, you can see the mountains and wilderness in the distance, as well as the Quidditch field on campus.
The dormitory is in the corner building next to the tower. I have to say that you have to climb a lot of stairs to get back to the dormitory. However, the seniors said that the stairs in the school are often more friendly to Ravenclaw students. They will not move around to tease us, and sometimes they will create a shortcut that can at least save half the journey. Perhaps it is because the ever-changing stairs in the castle are designed by the founder of the college, Ms. Ravenclaw.
Ravenclaw has the smallest number of students among the four colleges. The dormitory is a double room, and there happened to be one extra boy, so... as you should have guessed, I seized the opportunity and applied quickly, and finally luckily got a single room.
The dormitory has warm beds, wardrobes, desks and bookshelves, as well as a separate bathroom. All daily necessities are prepared. We don't need to wash clothes or clean the room. There is a group of invisible little helpers in the castle. When you wake up, everything is in order. My suitcase was probably delivered to the dormitory by them. Thank God, I don't have to carry the suitcase up the spiral staircase by myself.
The students in the college are all very easy to get along with, and Prefect West takes good care of the freshmen. Because he was worried that some students would get lost, he waited in the lounge early this morning and took us to the auditorium for breakfast. He also gave us the class schedule for this semester - I have to say that the class schedule is very easy, which is the least worrying part.
After breakfast, Prefect West took us around the school, telling us where to go for each class, which places in the school are prohibited from entering, and shortcuts to places such as the library, the school clinic, and the Quidditch field.
Soon we will have flying lessons, and I will ride a broom for the first time - exciting, isn't it? In the past, I never thought that we humans can fly in the sky like birds - of course, I will follow the professor's instructions, pay attention to safety and avoid injury.
Finally, I want to say that Hogwarts is a really great school! I love it here.
Love you——
Vid Grey
Having lived two lives, Wade was not as heartless as ordinary children. He knew very well how worried parents who loved their children would be when their children left home. Therefore, Wade took advantage of the free time before class to write down everything about his arrival at school, and even hand-painted a simple diagram of the school layout and put it in the letter paper. After writing the letter, Wade reviewed it again and changed the word "ambitious" Slytherin to "shrewd and proud".
It's not that he wanted to praise Slytherin House, but he didn't want his parents to discover the possible conflict between the houses from the wording and then start to worry about his situation - because the Gray couple's impression of the wizarding world was still at the stage when the Dark Lord was wreaking havoc. After Wade received the admission letter to Hogwarts, they had been secretly feeling guilty and worried about his identity as a Squib.
Wade wanted to tell them - it was okay, the war was over, the bloodline theory was no longer mainstream, everything was fine in Hogwarts now, his background was not an obstacle to him, and his parents were not a burden to him.
He was always grateful to be their child.
