Professor Dolohov and Auror Desai deserve quite a load of thanks for organising this year's trip. I say, it was quite educational, challenging and I'm sure applicable to many situations one might find oneself facing at some time or other. It was also a valuable opportunity to interact with one's classmates in ways we'd not before had the chance.

Congratulations, again, to all of us, as well, for meeting each challenge with perseverance and ingenuity, what!

As there's only a week before we go to Hogwarts, Mrs Jugson has plans to take us to Diagon Alley for our supplies. I'm not yet sure whether that shall be Tuesday or Wednesday. (I've asked if we might stay at home tomorrow! I say, I was having trouble staying awake at the supper table and I suspect I might sleep all day tomorrow if given the chance!)

Ron, old man, I did see your invitation about flying but as you know, that shan't be possible. I'm well sorry to miss it - and Tea Appreciation on Wednesday, Harry. On the other hand, once I've got my books for the term I look forward to glancing through them to see what's in store for our N.E.W.T.s.

See you all in a week, what?

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good: Private Message to Dux

[alt_justin]

Hullo, love,

I've missed you so much. I wanted to write but it was bally well all we could do to keep going sometimes.

As for whether we learned things that are practical--well, they were, dash it, but mostly for arming oneself to battle against the very people who were training us. Everyone else saw that as an advantage, what, you know: Let them train us so we may turn the tables against them. I say, I'm not so sure. There's something to be said for one's teachers knowing all one's tricks. Luckily we've whatever the Order might teach us, so we've a hope of surprising them, if and when that ever becomes necessary.

At any rate, it was bally well exhausting, often extremely frustrating, frequently exciting but never quite lost the feeling that we've been recruited into some private army Professor Dolohov hopes to raise. I'm dashed glad to be done.

Will your Aunt let you have a visit? If not, perhaps you could convince her to take you and Draco to Diagon the same day we go. I do think it shall be Tuesday; Mrs Jugson's very anxious to get everything done before we take the train back to school, what. At any rate, if you go on Tuesday I'm sure we can convince her to go then. And we could see each other, perhaps.

If not, it's only a week, I suppose. Has anyone said what will happen while we're at school? I don't bally well see how they can stop us seeing each other there.

It's going to be a long week if we can't see one another, what.

It doesn't seem quite real, being home. After all that. I feel as if I should be reapplying my Muffliato every half hour. Only, that just leads to giving Mum a horrible fright and making her smash whatever she was holding. Heh. Who says we weren't learning practical skills?

Sorry to hear they're still keeping you in. That's a shame.

I got a list on twenty-four inches of parchment of chores Mum's thought up, so I may not be much freer than you. I'm not officially on house arrest, though.

See you on the train if not before.
