I'm having a tree delivered for us next week! We can see about the decoration then.
Also. I've been thinking, Pollux. Do you think I might try out some of the more difficult spells you've been teaching me - on muggles? I'd make sure they didn't remember a bit of it, of course. It's getting to the point where I need the extra practice, really. I know it's an awfully risky thing to do here and that's why I'm asking your opinion; I shan't do it if you think I shouldn't. Only it's one way to see what I've truly learnt.
