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.
