I'm ever so glad you didn't say anything to Padma about our plans for Hogsmeade! Because I'm sure you've seen by now that Daddy was reading. I don't know if he would have been upset to know that we have a Valentine's date or not, but it's probably better if he doesn't know. Especially as he was being so funny and peevish about the fact that I was mentioning other people's Christmas gifts more often than his, too. I think Mummy and he must be quarreling...

Anyway, I'm glad that SHE wasn't reading, at least. Because I said something daft that she might've taken the wrong way, if she had been.

I'm going to sleep like the dead tonight. How about you?

Yes, she does. Luckily it's easy enough to put her off, what?

Dash it, Dux, I'm well astonished by you, do you know? The way you treat things like that as if it's of no more importance than passing the jam.

Well, you know how to manage your parents best, I suppose, but if it's me you're hiding from him, then yes, I agree!

Ron and I were going to get up a game or two so if you do get bored come and find me, what?

You're very good at it. Better than I am, that's for certain.

Yes, I suppose she did what she set out to do, in a way.

I don't want to hide you, I hope you know!

And I might need to sleep soon, actually. I really am knackered!

One of the good things about being brought up with proper manners is that it's well simple to answer someone and not tell them anything much.

I didn't mean it like you're ashamed of me, what, only that I'm not at all keen to face your father! I'm sure he'd make mincemeat of me in no time, what? I mean to say, he gave us permission to go to the ball but nothing more than that. I'm surprised he's not wondering how you're getting on with making Marvolo jealous by now.

Indeed, it's getting late. And yes, I'm rather done in, too.

Sweet dreams, Dux,

I really don't know about Daddy, but I think you're safe from him yet. And I think he'd prefer I not try to make Harry jealous, or anyone else for that matter.

Goodnight Justin, enjoy your game with Ron.

Lo
