Hands don't hurt anymore. Now it's the head that aches. (Not a fucking word on that from any of you.)
Happy Miss Joey McCormack's birthday to all. (At least. Those who aren't complete fucking arseholes. You lot don't deserve a happy Joey Day.)
[Note slipped under the Gryffindor sixth year girls room door.]Jobie.
Happy birthday. Whole year older makes you a whole year bigger. Maybe
one day you'll be large enough to play Beater. Make yourself a proper Quidditch player. If you're lucky.
Um. Got you a present. Or. Will. Sort of.
Isn't available just yet. (Sorry for that. Really.) So. In the meantime, guess the present is me. Not sure how much that matters, but. Joey, have you ever played house?
Sure you'll want to spend a lot of today with Les. That's fine. Obviously. Best friend and all. Just. I'll be here. All day. Whenever you want me. I'll be waiting. Kept my schedule open. (Which. Obviously, it's my pleasure. So. Do whatever you like. Honestly.)
Owen's got a present for you, too.
Love you.
