We got owls

about the CCF.

I was accepted! But Parvati wasn't.

I don't think she's too upset, except that we won't be together for the whole summer.

The letter says I have to report on the 4th - is that what they told everyone? Or are we split up into groups like last summer?

Who else made it?

I suppose it could be a good thing. It's been hard to stop thinking about the sounds it made, but you're right about Crab and Boil. I'm a terrible bluffer, though, so I'll have to work on that. You remember, I only had one half-eyebrow left after the most recent game of Exploding Snap. No fear about the sixth-years. They already shave, for goodness sakes.

And you know I can't let Malfoy or Marvolo know. It'll get me trounced even worse, that's the way it works with boys. I don't know about girls, but if you're a tattletale, you're pretty much dead.

I knew talking to you was the right thing. Mum says hello and congratulations, by the way, and says to say hello to your mum.

But you wouldn't be grassing, silly. And Malfoy has ways with Crab and Boil that don't involve saying so, either.

I won't tell if you still don't want me to. Only if those 6th-years come after you next year, you should go straight to the Corner. You're protected there - plus it's the library so Madam Pince would murder chuck them out if they made any fuss.

That's why it's good you know you can cast Cardinals, if you need to. You don't have to - you shouldn't have to use them, ever, especially if you still want to write history. I mean, what kind of historian or author needs to cast Imperius, right? But you know you can and that's got to be comforting. Of course you wouldn't want to hurt anyone nice, or a pet or anything!

Tell your mum thanks - and tell her my mum says she's got more of those scarves she likes. She should come round the shop and see.
