Justin Finch-Fletchley

Good morning,

If you see Macmillan, take a moment to wish Hufflepuff's senior Prefect many happy returns of the day!

-Finch-Fletchley

Good morning.

I love you. Did you sleep at all last night? I say, I think I finally dropped off round about two.

But I'm not sorry we stayed out late.

Are you? I mean to say, you don't...regret what happened? What you did?

Because I wasn't...I'd not have minded if you thought--think--it was a mistake. A lovely present, mind, but.... I mean to say, after your talk with your cousin, and the books and things, if you were feeling pressure, then, I well understand. I never want you to do anything you don't bally well want to do, what?

Well. I do love you. And not just because of last night.

-J

Hullo, love. How was History?

Defence, after lunch, what. I wonder if he'll go easy since he's got the duel tomorrow?

It's just occurred to me that even if Professor Raz is going to be busy fighting, the other people Professor Dolohov has invited probably include your uncle and maybe even your father. Has he said if he's going to see you tomorrow? I shouldn't wonder if Professor Dolohov asked your mother but do you think she'd attend?

But either way, I suppose there shall be someone from the Council, likely to carry news back if we're not careful, what? Best not sit together, then. Don't you think? Dash it.

Perhaps afterward, though? If you're not expected at a jolly old Malfoy tea or anything, we could work on Arithmancy before the YPL exercises.

I've been thinking about my birthday, like you said to do. All I can imagine wanting are silly things, things one can't get here anymore. I'd love a bally old packet of crisps now and then. But that's not a proper gift, what? Just a craving. And anyway, I don't care about presents so much as just being with you. (Though I do need a new jumper but that's not a request, what. I'll look at Gladrag's at the first Hogsmeade visit.) I am rather excited to turn 16, though. And to have someone to celebrate it with me, what?

Love,

-Justin
