[Private to Self]
I can't find my dress robes. The Order of Merlin ceremony is in a couple of days and I can't find them. The wardrobe's filled with clothes, but not the set I need. I suppose I should be lucky Wendoline mentioned something about the gathering today, else I wouldn't have tried to dig up my formal wear.
Gran'll be livid when she finds out.
I don't even have a date for the thing yet. Can't really think of anyone, especially on such short notice! I shouldn't have waited until the last minute, but things have been so busy at work, and my free time's been taken up by Bellatrix's folder. There's got to be something there that I've missed. Some sort of pattern that'll give me a glimpse of what she's up to. Everything's so dry, though. Just lists and lists of names. No details. Nothing that'd pop right out and call attention to itself. I'm not giving up. Perhaps Tonks will be at the ceremony, and then I could ask more about that file?

Gran,
Would my dress robes be at the house, by any chance? I've pretty much upturned my flat trying to find them, and the ceremony's in a couple of days so I don't think I'd be able to get a new set tailored before then. If the gathering is as large as I figure, then the robe-makers'll be awfully busy anyhow, and I doubt I'd get an appointment.
Also, I know this is awfully short notice, but I'd really like you to accompany me to the ceremony. It's not as if I've asked anyone yet, and everyone I know is already headed there with someone or would probably not care to be seen on my arm. So, would you mind being my date? I'd really want you to be there with me.
All my love,
Neville
