Farewell for now
I just wanted everyone to know that I'm back in France, and quite safe. I've been hearing very grave reports - Draco, I surely hope your father will be on the mend soon. And anyone else who was injured.
Also, I suppose many of you are starting at school today, so bonchances to you all!
As for what happened to me, well, the French delegations were all checked by your Healers and some of them had some minor cuts and bruises but mostly the protections, as I'm sure you all know, worked smashingly well. (I'm not sure my mother quite agrees; in her opinion no bomb should have gone off in the first place!)
So as soon as we were all pronounced healthy, Professor Froissart and M Froissart said their farewells, as Mr Malfoy is her brother, you know, and naturally she wanted to stay to be with the family. But P Froissart had to get me home as soon as possible, they decided. Which is a shame - I mean, I was meant to go home afterward anyway, but I'd hoped there would be some celebrations. It's too bad that all had to get ruined and so many people were hurt.
Apart from that rather horrible ending, of course, I really did enjoy my time in England. I don't know if I'll get to come back, now, though. I mean, if there's ever another opportunity. I'll have a job convincing my mother that it's ordinarily very peaceful.
Only we've heard the news and someone said that it's all been revealed to be the work of Sirius Black?!Is that even How can that be? We heard he'd been caught here in France ages ago, and people told me while I was visiting that everyone viewed his remains. Blimey Merlin, I should think he's even more dangerous than anyone realised if he could pull off a switch that fooled everyone, including the Lord Protector, and he's about as clever a wizard as I've ever heard of!
Ron, Sally-Anne, Blaise, Pansy, Daphne, Harry - it was lovely to meet you all. I was very relieved to see you all posting and know that you're okay. They did let me keep the book, as you see, so let's keep on writing, shall we? I mean, if you've time. Luna, Padma, Michael, anyone else I may have forgot - the invitation stands for you as well. Do tell me how you're getting on this year, and watch out for mad terrorists! I'm sure your duelling club will come up with loads of ways to send them packing, what?

And I can correct you whenever you need it, I'm quite good as you see.
Are you truly all right, then? You and Sally-Anne were brilliant, you know, jumping in to help like that. I'm afraid my minders whisked me away without giving me much choice about it all.
no subject
It's funny, isn't it, how someone can do something they didn't think they could? I'm not the sort to jump into something headlong, but being with a friend who was also helping made me braver than I usually am, I guess.
no subject
I didn't know you were that close. Goodness, I am dashed sorry, then. What a way to start off the year, eh?
But as for the other, you don't strike me as someone who cowers behind when there's work to be done. Not that I know very well. But you didn't seem anything other than fearless to me!
