Tracey, To be honest it hardly feels like I got a break from the castle at all with the amount of tension that has reappeared already.
I understand your sentiments likewise. Whilst one may not pay attention to what is in front of them whilst it is there as soon as it’s remove you instantly feel the empty space it has left behind. I have felt this keenly at the moment. I rather hope that the gloom doesn’t over take you too much but if ever the presence of it becomes too much don’t hesitate to seek me out. I’m not quite as inclusive in the Slytherin girl’s circle as perhaps yourself but it’s nice to take a break from it and I hold your own opinion quite highly. I believe Mandy too has been impressed by your courtesy towards her too.
I do hope that your mood improves although with a funeral on the horizon it does make one view things rather bleakly.
