Hullo!

How is your holiday so far?

If you're off with Mr Rosier you might not even have got your letter yet, but most of us got our O.W.L. results today. How did you do? Is Mr Rosier pleased?

Actually, that's partly why I'm writing. We have to reply by the 1st as to which subjects we'll be continuing and I didn't know if you meant to continue in History. Because Lines and I are thinking of skiving off it for N.E.W.T.s and only sitting the exams (like I did for Creatures and Divination) but I didn't want to do that if one of us wasn't going to continue, so that History Club can at least attempt to stay on track.

To be honest, we could maybe pass History Club on to someone in 4^th or even 3^rd years but Lines might pout. He's so needy that way. Anyway, something like History Club looks good on a vitae, doesn't it?

Well, mostly I just wanted to see how you're doing. Have you finished with Remy after that spectacle at the wedding? Or are there plans for you two this summer? There might not even be any YPL, that's what Bobolis was saying on the train, but either way, you'll be able to see each other if you want to, won't you?

And, the other thing? Ireland? There hasn't been any more trouble for you because of any of it, has there? I don't like to bring it up if it upsets you but you'd let me know if you're still having problems, right?

Write me if you have time or when you get back to New London if you're busy having your holiday, and we'll meet up for ice creams or something, all right?

Love from,

Padma

Well, I think that went really well, don't you?

Except, why did Remy Jugson rush out after he'd just been saying how excited he was about the whole business?

Odd, wasn't it?

Well, anyway, at least we've got a rough idea of who's interested in doing what.

When do you think your Mr Krumgold will come up to look over the music selections? Only because we ought to have Lines put together the background information on the numbers before then.

Has anyone in Slytherin heard more about Ireland? I think things are settling down but Seamus is still walking on dragon eggshells.

Someone said the wireless has made a couple very short announcements that something's happened in Dublin.

I asked Kirke and he said Professor Vector had him walk you to the hospital wing. (Why Vector, anyway? Why not Hooch or Professor McGonagall?)

Are you all right? What's going on, do you know?
