Summary: Remus sends out some holiday gifts
Completion: Incomplete
Remus sat at his desk, the poor old oak completely overflowing with gifts. He sighed gustily, blowing the fringe from his eyes. One by one, he'd send them and hopefully Carden wouldn't bite his finger off by the time he reached the end of the gift list.
If he was lucky.
Composing the first owl, he realised he really had no idea where Gerent was. But still, he felt he owed the man something, even if he received nothing in return.
Carden was always good for finding where people lived. And if he failed this time... well... there was still a gettogether at some point. Gerent still had Remus's copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Gerent,
I hope this owl finds you, and finds you well. It's nothing much but just a little something I wanted to send to you. Perhaps with this and the other book you have of mine, we could actually meet sometime soon. Wishing you the best.
BestCheers,
Remus
Enclosed: A somewhat worn (as it's one of Remus's favourites) copies of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare

Harry,
Happy Christmas, Harry. I know what I'm sending isn't much, but I figured you were tired of receiving books from me.
Love,
Harry

Cedric,
First of all, my apologies that this owl is coming in the form of a Christmas gift. School has kept me on my toes, as has a few other various issues. However, all of that is neither here nor there. I do, though, have some things I'd love to go over with you. I think I may have found some things to be of use.
In any case, though, happy christmas.
Cheers,
Remus
Enclosed: A copy of a Magical Preservation book, written just after the turn of the century.
