Return owl, sent a while later
[Sent after a tellingly long pause; Georgi has written and discarded several versions of this letter before he settles on on:]
Dear Ernie,
I am staying here in Scotland for Christmas. My family understand that I am spending much time training and I will not come home. Coach McGonagall and his family are very kind and invite me to stay with them at Christmas.
Do you watch the Magpie matches? Will you be there on Saturday when we are playing?
