I've been recovering, I suppose. I think I'm mostly over my cold but it's been difficult, since my body needs rest but it's jolly hard to sleep. I've found I'm reading loads, what--I say, I'm nearly through all the books in their library (which isn't saying much) and I bally well can't wait until we get our book lists for next year. At this rate I'll have read them all before we set foot on the train.
Mr Jugson said that if all 'goes well' on the CCF trip (presumably he means I don't get into any trouble, what), I shall be allowed a visit, if your Aunt agrees to it. The only other hope is going to get new robes and supplies for school; otherwise, he's quite adamant I'm not to leave the house.
It's funny. I keep thinking about when I was very young, and my mother told me I couldn't go out because I was too ill, what--well, she meant that if I played with other children I might use magic but I really did feel ill most of the time. I never thought of it before but that was rather a prison, as well.
I'm bally well certain the Jugsons don't know how familiar this all is to me. Though that doesn't make it easier, what, it's at least a comfort that it's only a matter of time before I'm free. I say, that's quite a change from any other sentence I've endured!
Anyway, it's worth all the fuss if it means I really can marry you when you finish school.
Has it been frightfully boring to stay with your Aunt? Is she going to allow you to keep on with Tea and flying and all that?
Re: Private message to Justin
I miss you, too, ever so much.
