Fred (wouldn't you know it?) has some free tickets for Wytches Brew tonight in Hogsmeade. He's going so I reckon I will tag along. Fancy it?

I just heard an unreconisable racket coming from Hagrid's cottage. Closer inspection (unwise I know) reveals he has taken to robbery with violins. The tune, I reckon, was meant to be "Baa Baa Black Sheep" But that's just a guess.

I wonder if he can play "Over the hills and far away"

Well can't keep hiding away for ever I reckon. Time to dust myself down as it were and get on with life. Whatever that means. Priorities I spose. Maggie. Poor girl hasn't hunted properly for weeks.
