Once the children wrote their notes to Hagrid, we sent them back via Owl Post. We waited for a very, very long time (almost a whole day!) before a response came. Here's what Hagrid said:
To meh frinds,
Thankee fer the note about yer animal choice. Yeh did a great job o' telling meh how yeh'd take care o' such a frind. Professor Dumbledore says I kin send yeh yr pet once yeh've earned 10 house points. Whin I hear from the 'eads o' 'ousholds that yeh've gotten yer points, I'll send yeh yer pet o' choice by an owl. So's git workin' frinds!
While yeh wait I thought yeh mite enjoy a bit o' butterbeer. It's a favorite drink o' miny Hogwarts students. I won this 'ere recipe off teh owner of teh Three Broomsticks down in Hogsmede 'at other day. Share it with yer mim and mebee she'll 'elp yeh make ome up.
Enjoy yer treat and keep workin' 'ard at earning those house points. Then a lit'le frind will be on it's way to yeh in a jiffy!
Yer frind,
Hagrid
Then he shared the Butterbeer recipe with us. We still have to try it out - Momma had to go to the store and ge the ingredients. But we'll be sure to let you know how it tastes!
In the meantime, we're working on earning some house points. Some of the children are working harder than others . . . I'm thinking a letter from Professor McGonagall "yelling" at them for not doing chores might be just the thing.
