Owls

[alt_hydra]

Aunt Narcissa, your owl came at breakfast. I didn't even finish my toast, I just went straight back to the dormitory to look and thank you... they - it's just so perfect. Thank you so much!


Well, guess what I walked in on in the common room, on my way back out? It was Gregory Goyle and he was asking Millie to go to the ball with him. I think that's what he was asking, at least. His mouth was full of bacon so it was hard to tell. But Millie was smiling, so there must have been something big going on.

What an exciting start to the day. And it's a day that's in the middle of the week, so the rest of the week is sure to just fly by now, and soon we'll all get to go to Hogsmeade.

I wonder why I ever bothered to send her three sets of robes myself, then, seeing as it was quite a bit of trouble for me.

I'm sure I don't know, sister. Perhaps in future you needn't overtax yourself. I'm sure I'll be happy to see to it that Hydra looks her best.

Perhaps I shan't, then. I know you do so enjoy these opportunities to play to your strengths, Cissy.

Just as I know you hate for your weaknesses to be laid bare, dear.

Each of us serves according to her talents, and knows better than to attempt otherwise, wouldn't you agree?
