Some of Mother's friends asked me what your Mother and my Mother are working on, too, as if I would really know much of the details!

Blaise and I watched the hexing that went on in the courtyard for a while, yeah, but we left when they wouldn't let us join in. But then everyone came in just after that anyway because our Lord Protector had shown up to give the speech. He looks every so strange commanding these days, doesn't he?

The party was the sort of party we'll be expected to attend when we're grownups, so I think it was good to have that type of party. We're all teenagers now, after all.

Harry's fine, someone just said something thoughtless in front of him, that's all. I think my Uncle smoothed it over.
