Hey.

I know we haven't talked much since I've returned, Padma, and knowing you, you've probably a few questions. I haven't forgotten what you said and I appreciate the space you've afforded me. And ... well, hell. I've a letter from my mum that I plan to dispose of tonight. Any road, I've no need for it but I'd like to share it with the both of you before I do, if you're interested. It'd be easier for you to read it than for me to ... yeah.

Tony and Terry've already seen it; I took your advice, Turpin and I wanted to say thanks. And I guess I thought you'd want to know. Don't want you to think I feel I owe it to you to share it, because that's a load of bollocks. It's more that I'd like you to have the chance to see it.

Anyway, if you're inclined, you can both come up together later if you like or take it in turns if it's easier.

And before it's asked, I'm fine. Promise I'll smile at least once if it'll reassure you.

Private to Padma

If it is a low blow, I'll give credit to you, as I've learned from the best. And isn't true, fair Padma, that the humour that lies in the ridiculous resonates far longer than that which lies in the mediocrity of a joke. (Can't say I see why you'd need a regimen, unless you're thinking of posing for Playwizard, too).

Intent, youngest Patil. Intent. You had worded it in such a way with the intent of garnering the reaction that you did. Therefore your protest and complaint do not hold water. I'm happy.

Over the years, I reckon I've found out your sugary sweet is a very clever disguise used to your advantage to lord your prefectness over others. Most of the time, that is, when you're not bringing me soup.

That's a talent, I'll have you know. Not every wizard can have their typing express an emotion such as ecstaticism. Nor do they have the talent to create new words to add to the English vocabulary. That'd be it. Reckon it is? Any sort of potion we can take to ward against it?
