Mr Wagtail,
Far be it for me to hold you to an engagement that was only casually mentioned. No doubt the travails involved in moving your household such a distance has caused you considerable stress. You need not feel you owe me any 'outing', nor any apologies for your choice of residence.
Lest we exhaust our owls by pointless haggling, I am willing to meet you at the place of your choosing on the seventh, and eleven o'clock is acceptable. This is only if you truly insist on the bother, because I assure you there is no need on my account. One small bit of advice in a public journal entry is nothing, certainly not anything requiring any sort of 'repayment'.

Mr Snape,
Now that is some mastery of the language - impressive! You should write poetry of the highest class-- although, perhaps, not poetry, as it has to speak straight to the heart and often the heart does not like listening to much cerebrality. Then again, no one says cerebral prose is not popular with readers. There you go then! Such talent should not be wasted, Mr Snape.
And I do insist (very ardently at that) on the 'bother', as you call it, because for me it certainly isn't a bother. It has been so long that I've seen your glorious profile-- kidding, kidding! face, I would only love getting to interact with you once again.
On the Seventh it is then, at eleven o'clock, and in front of the Muggle entry to the Leaky Cauldron, if that's alright with you.

You have an interesting concept of poetry and prose, Mr Wagtail, but that is to be expected considering your line of work. You must strive to make certain that the lowest-common-denominator can comprehend your meaning, whilst making it interesting enough to appeal to the more intelligent as well. A noble endeavour, I am sure, but not one I would care to undertake, myself, in any fashion

Well, yes, I suppose that my line of work, as you call it, makes me think about matters such as these. Indeed, I think about making my songs as universally comprehensible as possible. I do enjoy the high-profile works of poets et cetera, but the problem with majority of them is that sometimes they do not concern themselves with problems of the general public, more focusing on the issues of their own social layer. You know what I mean
