I did write to her. Well, I wrote to tell her that I needed more time. But she wouldn't give me an extension. So I told her what I was going to say to Professor Lestrange. Well, most of it. It didn't make any sense to send the whole thing, even though I worked on it for weeks to sound just right. Because he doesn't like people to call him a hero or anything. Even though he is. So I left all that part out. I just said that I wanted to be a teacher because I didn't want to work in my step-father's shop. And that I didn't want to get left out from all the nift stuff over the summer.

Guess that wasn't a very good reason.
