It's amazing who you might run into if you manage to stick your head up from your work once in awhile. I ought to leave St. Mungo's for lunch far more often than I do now. Sometimes working in a hospital can be a bit oppressive.
Who could've imagined that the Prophet would stoop any lower that it already has? I wish I hadn't even read the thing, but the hospital staff kept insisting. Merlin, I'd be glad of subscribing to The Quibbler, considering how awful the alternatives are right now. I'm a bit shocked to see myself writing that! Though it's brilliant to see Luna trying to settle herself in the world. I always wondered about whether she could. She seemed too...
I'm not sure.
Can't think of the right word right now. I'll remember it sooner or later. Wish writing came easier for me.
Gran,
I haven't heard from you in a few days. Is everything alright at home? Do you need anything from London? You haven't read anything about Harry in The Daily Prophet, have you? I'd just want to say that if you have, it's all absolute rubbish. Well, not the Ginny Weasley getting hurt bit. That part's real. And the Severus Snape thing's real as well. Actually, the article's got all the facts right, but somehow they've put them together all wrong.
I'm not sure how else to explain it.
Give my best to Uncle Algie and Aunt Enid. I could Floo home for the weekend if you'd like? But it'd be rude of me dropping in on such short notice, wouldn't it? I think I'll be visiting around Easter hols. Would that be okay?
Love always,
Neville
