Well, there were such a lot of people.... We talked with Finnigan quite a bit, and Hydra and her cousin Jeremy. And Thomas - that was rather a surprise, seeing him, and Perks as well. Did you know she was coming? I guess it shouldn't be too surprising, it looked like everyone in Slytherin in our year was there - even Bulstrode. Anyway, we did a lot of people-watching, that was interesting.
For a while, Parkinson and I talked with Mr Rookwood about the project we're doing for History Club. He was quite nice and seemed really interested. And there were some ladies who wanted to know what Mum's working on, especially with your mum, but we had to say that we don't really know much about it. I think that disappointed them. But they're keeping it really secret. And mum hasn't had us in to the workshop as often this summer. Oh, and a few people still wanted to tell us how sorry they were about Sanji, which was okay, but maybe would have been better if they hadn't done.
Did you go out in the courtyard? There were some grown-ups out there. I thought at first they were lawn bowling but it turned out they had a whole load of gnomes and they were rolling them out and then hexing them, for target practice, I guess.
Oh, and there was Mrs Avery and Mrs Mulciber and Mrs Rowle - they were quite nice. Your mother said hello, too, of course, and we met Mr Lestrange (Hydra's father, I mean. Well, I guess the other one too, the one looking after Harry. I think he talked to everyone there at least once. He must like Harry a lot to want to guard him all the time!)
Speaking of Harry, do you know what upset him so much? I saw him talking to an older witch and wizard, and he looked like he wanted to get away from them, so Parvati and I were just coming over to see if we could help, when he stormed off and out of the party altogether. We followed but there was a glowing line across the corridor, so he must have gone into part of the palace where guests weren't allowed. When we got back inside the couple had gone and I looked for your uncle - the other Mr Lestrange - to tell him that Harry looked upset. But I found Mr Avery first and he said he knew where they all were and he'd go and tell the Razzer. I mean, he said the Razzer, I didn't call him that.
That's about when I found Parkinson and she introduced me to Mr Rookwood.
