Hello,

I've been talking with Justin and Remy about having a Tea Appreciation club, and they both thought it was a good idea. And then I thought that Lazlo's of London would be a good spot for a first meeting. It's more of a shop than a cafe, but it's cosy, and really, I wanted to invite the two of you because Dora Ponds, the proprietor, is Draco's cousin, and mine.

Draco, I know you don't know her very well, but she's very kind (and so is her husband, Mr Ponds), and she's a metamorphmagus, which is fascinating, and her little daughter has the ability, too. I don't think you've really properly met Bea, have you? I'm sure that she'd be happy to meet another cousin.

I was planning to invite Harry, too, since the whole point of the clubs is to keep him busy. And Pansy, I think Sally Anne would be interested in coming too, if the Strettons will give her permission.

We'll be going there tomorrow at three. Do you think you would like to come?

Dear cousin Dora and Mr Ponds,

Hello, have you enjoyed your summer so far? Is the shop ever so much busier this time of year, or does it get quiet, with people going on holiday and such?

I've been making new friends and getting involved with some clubs, as well as being accepted into the CCF programme. Some of us are thinking of having a Tea Appreciation club, and I suggested that we see if it would be possible for us to visit your cafe some day this week? That way, I could see Bea, too. I'm sure she's ever so much bigger than the last time I visited. And you could meet some of my friends, who I'm sure will all be on their best behaviour. I don't want to trouble you, though, so if this week isn't good then perhaps another time. I'll be leaving for the CCF programme on Friday, and will be busy with that until 18 August.

I hope all is well!

I have some news. I'm going to visit Cousin Dora and her family for tea today. She invited me, and Mummy said I could go.

I was quite excited at first, because you know I've wanted to finally meet Bea and Mr Ponds, and see the shop where they live and work.

But now I'm not so sure. I'm still looking forward to it, but Mummy's been a bit strange. It almost seems as if she's excited for my visit, which doesn't make much sense. She's never been overly fond of cousin Dora, because she's a halfblood, and also because I think it reminds her of how her sister Andromeda turned blood traitor and married a muggleborn. Mummy can't stand to be reminded of the "Black tree's rotten fruit."

I just hope that Mummy isn't planning to do something.

Well, the good news is that I'll finally see you tomorrow, and I can tell you all about what happened at tea in person.

Dear cousin Dora,

I've just come down from studying in the library and I'm trying to finish my Christmas gifts so that I can send out parcels tomorrow or Thursday.

I wanted to say that I'm sorry, but, I wasn't keeping close watch and I ran out of pocket money before I could buy gifts for just everyone. I really wanted to get something for you and your husband and especially Bea, but besides not having much money I didn't know what would be the right sort of gift to send.

But I think I found something, so I hope you don't mind second-hand. Or that Bea doesn't mind, rather. And I know gifts are meant to be a surprise but in this case I thought I should explain.

I wanted Bea to have my rabbit sing-ami that Auntie Narcissa and Uncle Lucius gave me last year. I still like it but, I don't know, I feel like I don't need toys anymore, and that was the year Auntie Narcissa gave me Lady Primrose, besides, so I don't think she'll mind if I give away my sing-ami.

And then the other two things are Tex, the origami rabbit my friend Sally Anne made for me in first year, and then Tina, my old rabbit robe pet. Tex disappeared and I forgot all about him, but then when I was looking for my spare quill in the desk last night I found him, smashed up in the corner of the drawer. I've straightened him out and he looks good as new. The spell on Tina stopped working a long time ago, and since both Tina and Tex are small, Bea might just want to chew on them. Maybe you could tie them to her mobile, if she has one? Or just save them for when she's older.

So you see why I had to explain, because what else would you make of a parcel filled with used toys and things?

I hope you have a Happy Christmas this year.

I did what you asked. I don't know if I did it right, but I told her about my horse and asked about the baby. We also talked about my classes, and she told me what she studied at Hogwarts.

Am I supposed to keep talking to her? What do I do now?

Hello,

You haven't written about your baby in a while, and I was wondering if she's doing well. Is she still keeping you awake at 3 in the morning?

Also you asked about my horse's name and I never said, but it's Lady Primrose. Only I just call her Rose.

I'm sorry about what happened to your Foster Mother, Mrs Crouch.

From,
Hydra
