Sanara Sinistra: 25 December, 1941
My dear Tom,
You’ll probably be back at Hogwarts by the time you get this letter, but it seems strange to be sitting at here at Christmas without you. The food is very good, as expected. Although most students who have remained seem anxious about their families, everyone is in mostly good cheer. The house-elves put something in the brandy to turn the flames on our pudding green.
I hope that you have a wonderful day with Minerva and her family. Please do pass on my best wishes if this does reach you there. Olive has just asked me what I am doing, and rolled her eyes when I told her. Now she says, ‘happy Christmas’ as well. It seems I will have someone to spend my Christmas day with after all, and that is the greatest gift I could have imagined.
This letter is entirely frivolous, and I do hope you will forgive me the time you have taken in reading it.
Wishing you a happy Christmas,
