Mandy, I think that will be sufficient enough. I'll pick up a craft's spell book perhaps at Hogsmeade and see what they suggest, maybe there's a spell for beginners. Thanks for helping me, you were always better at these things than I, I really should have learnt when I had the opportunity but who knew I might need it.
That sounds lovely. I haven't as yet made any plans but I think I shall definitely join you if only for lunch, maybe for some shopping too. I can't say I particuarly look forward to joining any of my Slytherin counterparts as they all seem rather stressed and appear to be plotting more than usual. I may even feel generous enough to buy the second round.
