Sunday? But that's the 30th--
Not that Gran's got anything special planned this year but--
Oh! Alright, thanks Hermione! I'd figured things've got busy lately with what happened to that Weasley and all so I really appreciate you reminding me.

Yet again I set quill to journal to bash my head against the brick-wall of lingering incompetent, idiotic, imbecilic, lunacy which seems to have totally replaced all rational thought and common sense when I wasn't looking.
Do you realise that your so-called 'privacy charm', stated thus: Private to friends, acquaintances, and schoolmates of Harry Potter, but not Harry Potter himself.
Easily includes the likes of myself, Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange, all of whom could easily claim 'acquaintance' with Mr Potter.
Now, as I told Miss Turpin when she made the almost identical error, if it is your wish to see that Mr Potter's enemies have the best tools at their disposal to rid themselves of him, at last, then bravo. Do let us call attention to his person, his upcoming 'holiday', and the fact that probably three-quarters of the Wizarding World is going to attempt to find the means to 'wish him well' on the blessed day. What a perfect opportunity for someone who wished him ILL to slip in amongst the throng

I don't see--
I hadn't thought that--
Sort of wish people made this much of a fuss over my birthday--I'm sorry, sir. I realise I was careless now. I've straightened out the charm, seeing as I've already received an answer to my question. I know it'll all be on my head if something horrible happens

Well, the repair seems sufficient - I now no longer see the original entry, myself. However, as with Miss Turpin's similar error, there is no telling who saw it in the meantime.
Do spare me the drama of your guilt, boy. Forethought and attention to detail would go a long way toward prevention - far more effective than guilt-after-the-fact.
I believe the avocado would be a more appropriate choice here, or perhaps the cocoa bean? Cocoa butter has many of the properties I'm seeking, though, admittedly both suffer stability issues which Coconut does not.
Have you spoken with Headmistress McGonagall? Hogwarts had one entire green house set aside for research - Pomona often worked on specific hybrids at Poppy or my requests. I am certain she would not begrudge you the space.

It's just that--
I truly am sorry and--
It won't happen again--
Cacao would probably be the easier to find and work with, considering how much of it is worked into wizard sweets. I think the species preferred by Honeydukes is hardy enough for experimentation. Its pulp can absorb magic easily and doesn't break down when exposed to it.
Thank you for the suggestion, sir! I'll owl the Headmistress straight away about securing one of the greenhouses for this project.

Noon at The Phoenix.
See you then.
Hermione.

Should be enough time for me to spend a bit of time with the family beforehand.
