Morag,

I'm exhausted. The castle itself seems to be depressed, and I just can't stand it. The gift from the Weasley boys made me itch for a bit more color and noise than can be found in this place in the dead of winter, and I do believe it is time to do a bit of shopping. Do you have a WWW catalogue?

Dear Tracey,

I'm happy to hear that we will be able to see each other at Malfoy Manor. I'm quite looking forward to it - it's been ages since I've been to a proper party.

As for livening up the castle, I have a bit of good news. My friend Morag McDougal (a Ravenclaw) also received a gift token to the WWW as well as a book full of mischief ( Read more... )

You sound so lonely! I would like very much to spend the day with you before the party. You sound a bit starved for company, and you know I'm always willing to offer mine! I'm so glad we've started to spend more time together again this year. I've really missed you terribly ( Read more... )

Cho dear,

I've just had an invitation to a New Year's party. If you haven't yet made final arrangements for your visit over hols, can you work around that? Any time before or after is fine, it's just the one night.

Thank you so much!

P.S. Oh, have you heard back from Lisa yet about whether she'll be joining us?

Emma,

Thank you so much for the gift! The gloves and scarf are just lovely, and the book has some really wonderful tips in it. I'll let you know when I've tried out some of the recipies.

You're inviting me to the Malfoy party, really? Emma, I would love to go! I was hoping we might get to see each other over break. Also, Tracey Davis was my ( Read more... )

Tracey,

Thank you so much for the Secret Sorcerer gift. The book is fascinating, and the gift certificate will go to good use. Perhaps, once I've made a purchase or two, you would like to join me and Emma in a bit of mischief?

Sincerely,
Mandy Brocklehurst

Cho,

You're welcome, and thank you so much for the quills and ink! I love them. Isn't the ink lovely?

Of course, I would be happy to have Lisa join us when you visit, no problem at all. It will be that much more fun!
