Smith,

Have you heard anything yet about the challenges? Or getting called before Our Lord for His decisions or anything?

I'm just asking because Seamus and I were wondering what sort of decision they'll make now that Malfoy's--now that he's not in the picture anymore.

I mean, that may seem callous but honestly, we're all sad but there's nothing to be done, and it's not fair to leave the rest of us hanging, after all.

Has your sponsor told you anything?

Oh, hey, Patil.

Wot? No. At least, I don't think so. I haven't heard anything. I've just been sort of enjoying the break, eh, lying in of a morning and such. I'm supposed to spend a couple weeks in Magical Sports later this summer but that doesn't start for another week.

Why? Do you think maybe I missed something? Merlin, they don't expect us to keep on with this after what happened to Teds and Draco, do they?

No, don't worry about it, Smith.

I'm sure your summer will be completely undisturbed by anything remotely important.

[alt_zacharias]

Yeah, all right.

Cheers.
