alt_hydraHello Auntie,
Thank you for asking after me in your last journal entry. I also hoped that we would have time to go shopping, but there's never much time for normal, ordinary things. That's how it seems, anyway. Thank you, though, for sending me some things you picked out yourself. I'm sure that I'll love them.
About Harry, I'm not forcing the issue at all. I think he knows he can talk to me if he wants to, but you know he'll always talk to Draco first if it's for advice. Of course, it's awkward all the way round because talking at all, for both of us, means thinking about Mummy's strong feelings on the matter. It's not nearly so uncomfortable as it once was, now that we both know that neither of us are taking it too seriously.
I don't know about other boys. Most of them would be fearful of getting on Mummy's bad side, I should think, to say nothing of Daddy's, too. It would take a special sort not to mind.
From,
Hydra

2012-09-13 14:43 (UTC)That's not to say that things might not change between you - it's been known to happen. But I suspected as much when you were together, albeit briefly, last month.
As for other boys, you're quite right that it would take a brave lad not to concern himself with either of your parents. But I wasn't asking whether they are interested in you, dear. I'm sure there are any number of young wizards who have taken a second look, the way you're filling out. It's not as if I haven't heard about last year's episodes with the hexes you learned for protection!
My question is whether you have an interest in any of them. In my experience that tends to confuse the issues greatly.
Well. Just in case, dear, I'm sending you a book that your grandmother sent to me when I was just about your age. No doubt your father thinks you'll remain unspoiled until you produce him a grandson, but trust your Aunt Narcissa, it's far better to know what to expect and understand that there are a vast array of choices, feelings and options for a witch at this stage of ... development.
