Perks was just asking, I'm glad I didn't see this before or I'd have been lying when I told her I didn't know but that I thought Mr Dolohov was probably a good guess.
What was he doing on the Continent, do you know? Something exotic and exciting like curse-breaking or was he a diplomat like that time Mr Malfoy went to France?
And yeah, I checked with Flourish and Blotts yesterday and they said they were trying to get all the books needed, so I figured we'd better get there right away if we want to be sure, because it sounded like maybe there won't be enough to go round. But they said that they thought they'd be able to start selling them tomorrow.
I've got so much to tell you, it's amazing it's only been a couple weeks since we've been home and yet everything's changing. So. Haruman really is serious about this witch but Mum's actually less than happy because she's not Indian. She's not going to say anything about that, though. And Dad told her that they probably should have just arranged a marriage a long time ago, when he was 13 like normal, and I can tell you Pav and I were both so relieved that no one suggested it's not too late to arrange matches for us!
But you see how I'm saying 'Mum and Dad'? That's because I guess they've been trying again. I mean, Dad's moving back in. He's given up the New London flat and all. I dunno if it's really the best thing for them, honestly. But. I guess they feel like they have to make the effort. Especially if Haruman's considering marriage--they want to set a good example for her family (even if she isn't Indian).
Well, I'll see you tomorrow. I want to hear all about Professor Dolohov and how the rest of your summer went!
