Merlin's beard! These are brilliant! Cheers, Wood. Really. Thank you so much. I'd love come see the match with you. I'll Owl George right away and see if I cannot convince him to come along. You know... he's different. It's not something I can really put my finger on but you can see it in his eyes. They're not as bright as they used to be.
And there's no real dignified way of shifting away from that to a more cheerful topic so... hey!
I'm glad you liked the jumper. And that it fit. And you can go right on telling yourself that things would have been different but you'd just be kidding yourself and I really don't want to be responsible for your self-hate. If you could see me now, I'd be laughing. Ha. Ha.
As for a Gryffindor reunion, I think it would be a great idea... minus. Well, minus Fred. Do you think George and Charlie would be okay with it? I'm wary of stepping on their toes and here I go again turning what was supposed to be an explosion of cheer into a. Well. Graveyard of excitement. I really know how to throw a party.
I will see you on the 24th, for sure. I'll try to bring Weasleys. And I'd love to get together and play a little. If nothing else, we should go flying.
Affectionately yours,
Katie
