Almost finished!!!

I'm just finished recopying and binding the Pretiosissimum Donum Dei, and it's beautiful!!! I'm so happy that I did it well. That was the secret job I had, to recopy and bind it. Madam Pince is excited too. It was the first time I was allowed to copy out a book! Soon she'll let me do it for books that can't be reproduced any other way, and then I'll be a real scriptor!! The Pretiosissimum Donum Dei is supposed to be Professor McGonagall's gift to the Lord Protector. She told me it wasn't a secret as of today, so I could tell people. It's as if I'm giving him something too, even though I know he wouldn't want anything I could give him, because I'm a Mudblood.

Anyway I'm looking forward to the Feast so I can see it be presented to him! I keep looking through it, it's so nice. I'm really proud of myself.

I'm learning a little bit of Latin as I go too. Not much but I can say "Ave et vale!" So ave et vale!!!

I am glad to see that you are honored to serve your Lord, Granger.

Mind your manners with the students. There has been quite enough unrest among them and I will not have you foment more. You shall be allowed at the feast - but only if you keep to yourself.

Yes, Headmistress McGonagall, I'm very honored and I'll be very quiet, I promise. No one will notice me.
