I DON'T THINK THE ISLE OF DREAR OUGHT TO BE UNPLOTTABLE!!!! RATHER, IT OUGHT TO BE A THEME-ISLE, WITH A RESORT DECORATED IN A MOTIF TO INCLUDE THICK, REDDISH-BROWN FURRY WALLS, BARSTOOLS EACH WITH FIVE CLUB-FOOTED LEGS, AND LOW-SLUNG CHESTERFIELDS!!!! I THINK A QUINTAPED-THEMED RESORT WOULD BE SMASHING!!!!
My father's spent every July that I can remember searching for the Isle of Drear; he fancies it a challenge of sorts. This year he's asked me to join him for a tick; I won't be hunting quintapeds all summer, though, as I loathe the midges, and the time for them is nigh; I'm certainly not keen on being covered head-to-toe by Muggle insect bites that would itch worse than Draco's boy socks. Not that I don't love your socks, Draco, but they are of the masculine variety. Anyhow, my father claims his search for the elusive isle is a matter of Parkinson family honour, and now that I'm of legal age, I'm to help in the efforts to . . . make nice-nice with the other family in question.
Making nice-nice has never really been my forte. Nor my family's, apparently, as the feud's thirteen generations strong.
Is the prospect of quintapeds as interesting as the Lethifold was, though? What a magnificent, inky creature that was.
Santorini, as always, should be relaxing and warm. I WAS MEANT TO BE BORN IN AUGUST, YOU KNOW!!!!
