The Dungeons

Dear Edgar,

Everything is fine; we're working hard. Hufflepuff won against Ravenclaw last week, and Klara flew really well.

I flew brilliantly well! Jacek and I are writing home because we miss you, but also because we talked to Professor Lupin and he's sick and can't do his magic anymore, and the moons make him poorly and it sounded like what was wrong with Konrad that time and Jacek promised to write home and ask what it was that cured him.

Right. So that's why we're writing. We hope everyone is well, and we promise to work hard and keep our heads down.

Sincerely,

Jacek and Klara

(Dear Journal,)

I know Tati thinks he's a pissant pillock, but I think he's very nice. He nodded at me and spoke to me and almost smiled! And his sister is very friendly, I like her a lot and she says I can come play with them again.

He's grumpy, but so is Strycek Professor. And he's a very good fighter, just like Tati! And he likes school like Otek, and he's quite handsome. His hair is floppy like Harry's. And he smells nice too. I don't like it that he said I was a liar, though! I am not! I haven't told anyone about them! I don't know why it's so important, but I didn't! And I don't know why I can't talk about it with them! THEY know they're wolves, and Tati and Otek know they're wolves, and there was nobody else around! Only nasty people don't like wolves, and Otek says if more people knew that there were nice wolves people wouldn't be so nasty. And I bet more people know about them than they think. But I still won't tell!

He said he'd help Otek, and that means he's very nice indeed. I wonder if he likes me?

He is very old, though.

REMUS! Stop that now. Just stop it. (You're making me nervous!)

I know you can understand me, Minerva, and it's about time you turn yourself back into yourself and have a talk. This isn't healthy and you don't want Poppy down here poking and prodding at you again. And I've your favourite tea here, and your favourite whisky in your tea, and you know very well you can't have any as a cat.

Please, dear? I know you can do this.

Viktor? ( You about? )

Augustina,

I know it's been a few months since my last appointment, but I think I need to see you as soon as you can fit me in.

Thanks in advance,

Ginevra Weasley
