The Ball's only in a few days, and I still have to tweak a few parts of my costume - don't worry, Padma, your part isn't affected at all. (I've found the most brilliant accompanying piece to go with it, however, to give it a little... something extra.)
For your information, this smile on my face (which you can't see, obviously, so I thought I'd mention it to you) is completely your fault. I hope you're aware of the consequences.
You looked marvelously handsome today.
Lavvy-lav-lav! I'm absolutely giddy with excitement about this ball! And to think that we actually have dates that will pay attention to us this year. (Well, my case mostly, but those Beauxbatons boys were quite lovely at the Yule Ball.) Terry's a real catch - I'm very, very happy for you.
(Oh, yes, check your bed. Someone seems to have left a ransom note for that missing bottle of your peach nail varnish, and they're demanding that you start on your homework and unbraid their hair for them before they give it back.)
