It’s clear that autumn is well and truly upon us. As I look around and note the changing shades of the leaves which are falling to the ground, I can’t help but imagine you, oversentimentalized idiot as you are, spinning poetry about the majesty and the beauty of it all or something like that. With the weather getting colder, I’m sure you all are appreciating the comfort and warmth of the mansion. Feel free to use my quarters, if you require the space. I expect your student body is rapidly expanding, and I don’t want you keeping my room unoccupied as a result of some misplaced hope that I’m coming back.

Hope you’re well, my friend. Keep yourself safe. Raven sends her love.
