( Dear Benjy )

Relocating to France? Sure the family's known Professor Dumbledore for years, sure I've wished on nondescript days I could visit France..... This doesn't smack of a pleasurable visit. Things are being packed away in boxes. Grandmother keeps cooing about how lovely the Beauxbatons grounds are, recalling her years there half a century ago......

And so, because of the gradual but steady increase of the heat and humidity, a great deal of my things have been lovingly folded and put away in my trunk.
