It's kind of you to try to read that book. Is it teaching you any brilliant mental tricks about winning duels without your wand?

Oh, don't apologise. I learned a lot, I think, about people and worlds I've really never known anything about before. Even if it was terribly frightening.

I think part of it might be the books, but a bigger part is the way that I'm reading. Remember one of our first talks, just the two of us, about trying to understand all sides of something? I think that's the difference.

Last year I would have read Pure Hunger and not noticed nearly so much as I did this time.
