Picnic

[alt_justin]

Hullo, friends,

I say, I thought yesterday's picnic was positively corking. Thank you all for coming; I hope I shall be able to host other jolly gatherings once in a while before end of term. Marvolo, Malfoy, I was very pleased to see you decided to come along! We've not spent much time at all this year, despite being thrown together somewhat when I came for the Quidditch World Cup, what? I say, it was grand to make your acquaintance again.

It's well hard to believe that it's already May. It seems like just yesterday I was wondering whether I'd be coming back to England with the other students from Beauxbatons but at the same time, it feels as if I've been here ages and ages. I suppose it's down to meeting so many people who've become good friends.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

I do think it went rather well. Admittedly not as well as one might have hoped, what, but it's a start.

Hermione, I hope it wasn't too awkward. I'd hoped--well, I'd hoped that we'd all be able to relax a bit more. Perhaps next time, what.

Sorry I didn't call you "Effs," but I don't want people to realise that that's you're secret name, which they will if I leave it as a comment here.

It was nice of you to invite everyone. Draco and Harry seemed to stick out a little. I think Draco, especially, felt a little outnumbered by Gryffindors - not that that sort of thing really puts him off his step. And no one was rude to Granger, so that's good.

But the way you told everyone about Uncle Stephen and the Protectorate's offer... it makes me think that you've already made up your mind, or are close to doing so.

From,
Hydra

Thanks for the invitation, Finch-Fletchley. It was fun, and we were sorry we weren't able to stay long, but it's probably just as well: Ron no doubt ate enough Stilton for all of us.

Yeah, it was snitch. Thanks for asking us all.

It is a funny old thing how fast time goes, innit? It's almost time for the Third Task of the tournament. Guess Marvolo isn't letting it worry him much. Good on him, yeah?
