George,
Thank you for the owl and your kind thoughts. You needn't apologise for Oliver, though. This isn't your fault. I know that he is going through some things, and it is all my fault I am willing to give him time... I just hope he does change his mind about me.
I hope you know that this does not mean that I have anything against you, as you are only his friend and I'm very sure, did not convince him to do this. If you ever need a new invention of yours approved by any branch of the Ministry, I'm sure I can use the whole 'Head Auror' thing to help you out.
