Nicky,

Did you take my new Harpies socks from my trunk before I went to the train station with Dad?!

Those are mine, Dominique Weasley. Buy your own!

I told Aunt Ginny I'd be wearing them when I listened to the game tonight. They even match my pajamas. I can't wear orange knit socks with green pajamas! If they don't win, I guess we know why.

Love,

Victoire

P.S. Can you please send me some of those biscuits Grandmum made at Easter? The ones with the pink frosting, please.

P.P.S. Thank you kindly.

No, I didn't take your dumb socks, thank you.

If I did, however, they are very warm and comfortable, so thank you.

Aunt Ginny doesn't care about your feet!

Love,

Nicky

P.S. Yes.

P.P.S. Actually, nevermind.

P.P.P.S. Okay, fine, but only because grandmum read your letter. You will also find enclosed two Holyhead Harpies socks, slightly worn. You are welcome.

Nicky,

Did you just send me dirty socks?!

You!

Don't talk about how warm and delightful they are when you're going to send them back with cat hair on them. Yuck.

I know your parents, Dominique Weasley, and you weren't raised by trolls, much as you would love to claim you were.

You are VERY lucky the Harpies won that game.

Love,

Victoire

P.S. Thank Grandmum for me. You were no help.

P.P.S. I hope you like these.

Attached are two perfectly folded, clean stripy school socks in Ravenclaw colors. They smell of Hogwarts laundry soap and a feminine perfume with notes of bergamot, apple blossom, and vanilla.

What hair does or does not wind up on your socks, Rory, has nothing to do with me! And I'd hope you know my parents, seeing as they're your parents too. Duh.

The Harpies won because they're the best. I hope you have learned an invaluable lesson about how what goes on your feet does not impact real world events.

Love,

Nicky

P.S. Thank you for the socks.

P.P.S. How is school? Are any boys falling all over you yet like they do mum? Also, have you failed all your exams yet, or is that not this month?

Love you.
