Typist: ...This WAS written out a few HOURS ago, but the damn journal ATE IT. *sighs*
Sent out this morning really, typist is just lazy by owls, from Hogsmede:
Two poetry books, one modern, one older, both Muggle. Instead of a proper note, there's one written in the front cover of the older book, in neater handwriting than usual:
For when thinking becomes a chore and you don't feel like finding a distraction.
I love you. Forever.

Also in the package is a beautiful sketch of him. Written on the bottom, simply: "as I see you"
A silver cup in a velvet-lined blue box. When taken out, the cup is revealed to be two halves, the circle split like a yin-yang. A scrap of paper with a note written on it is tucked into the box reads:
I could never thank you for everything you've done for me. Consider this a late wedding present.
Wrapped around the box is a dark blue baby blanket.
Also included is a rather imaginative sketch of the two of them dancing, in formal clothes.
In a seperate package, a note lying on top of a sketch:
Mark,
You have been the best brother I could ever ask for, and as of lately, more family to me than my blood relatives. I love you. Thank you for everything you've ever done for me, all the advice, all the compliments, all the memories. You will always be one of the most important people in the world to me.
Unless other things get in the way, expect me at the castle on the 29th. Hope no one minds if I spend the New Year with my favorite "family" in the world.
Love you, brother dear.

The sketch is of the Loftmates, original and new, all crowded around the couch in the Loft: Mark in the middle. (This includes everyone- meaning both April and Mimi are there) A scrap of parchment in the bottom of the box is included, in Collins' handwriting:
Some kid you've got there. Got me and April to provide photos of the gang and the place. Thought you'd wanna know how it was done. Happy Christmakkuh, Mark.
A pack of colored pencils and a rather fancy, but not too fancy, eraser. A note included underneath reads:
Someday I hope to know you better, but until then, thank you for wonderful memories of the summer and merry Christmas.

Included is a sketch from this summer of April's hands, one holding a pencil.
