Lavender Brown

It's been such a strange start to hols, hasn't it? I gave Dad the biggest hug when I got home because I just kept thinking of the World Cup last year and how much worse that could have been. Don't tell her I told you, but Pav had nightmares the night before we left-about Sanji. She acted like she was fine when I asked her about it though.

It was nice of Greengrass to post the revue results before we left--it was good to have something cheerful to discuss on the train.

Lovegood's at the Weasleys'. I always forget that she practically grew up with them. I think she was afraid Mum wouldn't let her go-I'm not sure why, it's not as if Mum's unfeeling.

Speaking of friends of the Weasleys', what on Earth is Longbum sending you PMs for?

I got an owl from Mummy at breakfast, and it's true. We're going to be fostering Lovegood. Mummy says it's our Wizarding Duty because Lovegood's mother was Daddy's third cousin once removed, and the Protectorate wants her to be with a relative.


I still don't see why she can't go off and live with the Weasleys; she's friends with them, they want to have her, and if she ended up living in a closet or something it would be her look-out.


But I suppose we have to do our Duty.
