Chapter 14

Jin made his way to the great hall along with Hermione as they met on the way there, talking about school, studying and other things. They again sat together at the Hufflepuff table, waiting for their other friends to join them, which they did about ten minutes later.

When the mail arrived, Jin was suprised to see a letter was sent to him. His family already wrote to him yesterday, so what was it doing there? He carefully opened it, not knowing if there was something in it, but when nothing blew up in his face, he looked at it.

It was from Arthur.

'我不能相信我忘了那件事。' (I can't believe i forgot about that.) He mentally facepalmed, as he remembered Arthur telling him he would send a letter on the first day of classes.

'Dear Jin,

I'm certain you arrived at the school safely, and hopefully the old fool didn't bother you too much. I once again want to tell you that you shouldn't listen to him, but i'm sure you remember that.

As for why i'm writing this letter, i forgot to tell you about some of the teachers. Particularly Severus Snape and Quirinus Quirell.

Snape was an old friend of your biological mother, and promised to look after you when you came to Hogwarts. But, don't be suprised if he acts harsly at you. Your biological father used to bully him along with a group called the 'marauders'.

As for Quirell, you have to be careful around him. I'm not certain what's wrong with him, but i have a feeling it has something to do with Voldemort-

Jin paused, and giggled at the ridiculous name.

-so keep an eye open.

I have to strangle the frog now, he's boasting about scoring way above me in Eurovision, and teasing me that i ended up almost last.

Take care of yourself lad.

Signed,

Arthur Kirkland.'

Jin put away the letter and focused on his breakfast. He stole glances at the two professors, mainly Quirell, throughout the whole breakfast.

"Why are you looking at professor Quirell like that?" asked Draco, and Jin just replied with "No reason." The other three shared a knowing glance, but let him be.

"再見!" (Goodbye!) Jin cheerfully called to his friends as he stood up from the table, and headed towards the doors of the great hall.

He looked at his timetable to check one more time where he should go- and then headed off to double Transfiguration with professor McGonagall.
