Please write back AS SOON AS YOU SEE THIS. I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THIS. The aurors can't be that useless. I don't even know why I read the Prophet anymore. How many terrible things have to happen at that school before Ed Pratt and company get their stuff together? I know I talk shit about your house, but I don't really want anything to happen to you. Or your mates. Most of your mates. Some of them have serial killer potential.WRITE BACK. YESTERDAY.I'll go hunt your father down at the theater if you don't, and I'm sure no one wants me anywhere near unsupervised theater props.Lou!

It gratifies me that I would have been missed, no less in capital letters and by express owl. Events have not deterred me from future visits to Hogsmeade - come visit and let me bore you with talk of school.

What happened to the good old days of being able to hide in a broom cupboard for hours without anyone being able to kidnap you or whisk you away to detention? You do know those exist, right? Indi will hook you up if you need a safe space. Really, as much as I'd love to see you in the flesh, you might want to rethink that plan. Or find a dressing room in a low traffic shop-- those might work like broom cupboards. Find a cuddle buddy and stay put. You very clearly have a kidnappable faceAll joking aside, if we do meet soon, I'm bringing you a keychain spray bottle of Pepper-Up Potion. It's not just good for curing colds. Anyone who takes a shot of it to the eyes is going to wish they had the flu instead. They sell them in Diagon.So lunch soon, then?Lou Skip to next post Re: [February 2011] Golden Apple [Virgil] Reply #3 on June 04, 2016, 12:31:44 PM A small parcel wrapped in baking paper has been enclosed.

Scotland.20th February 2011Lou,I was set on seeking out just the right dressing room but then I did a frivolous thing and volunteered for the bake sale at our next Hogsmeade weekend. Pride got the better of me. I make divine brownies. Enjoy the ones I have sent - they are good with a plain black tea. I'll bring more in March if you like them.There is a cat in the Owlery with me. I took her from a Miss Irving before I returned to school. What should I name her?

I don’t even think I can share these with my American friend. How do you get them so gooey in the middle?No, don’t tell me. Don’t ruin it.The great news is that unlike most of us, you’ll be completely fine after graduation. Just become a baker. Do a little herbology on the side, maybe. And definitely some mixology.I can’t believe you want me to name something without at least a picture, and while I’m stuffing my face with your brownies. That sounds like a trap, but I’ll try my best.Braeburn.Not every apple can be golden, but braeburns are delicious. If the cat isn’t, I guess you could called her Granny Smith or McIntosh. If you do, you shouldn’t be surprised if she gives you terrible career advice too.

Scotland.25th February 2011Emmylou,I have decided to name her Dante (she does not care for gender-typed names as I imagine most cats do not) but your list has been extremely helpful. In moments of irritability I've taken to calling her "you Northern Spy" as she is in the habit of turning up when you least expect her with some secret knowledge in her eyes. It would make me jealous to part with any of those other names. The apples are exclusively mine, aren't they?Among other things your list has done is give me a craving for Eden's fruit. They are fantastically obnoxious to eat when you bite loudly into them - so, naturally suitable to my temperament.How is London? Tell me about the world outside - we are so unvarying in routine since the kidnappings that I sometimes half wish that Connor Todd will do something outlandishly lewd at the breakfast tables.
