I have wonderful news, other than the fact that I, Lavender Aphrodite Brown, am seventeen years old (Apparating license, here I come). And that wonderful news is:

I have safely recovered Panda Fredina.

Professor Dumbledore returned her to me when I fell into the teacher's lounge and got caught using my Extendible Ears to eavesdrop while they

Oooh, what'd your mum send you?!

It's nice that you saved Panda though.

[unsecretive]

An absolutely gorgeous white gold music box with my name engraved on it!

I was extremely worried about her. I should probably tell Neville, since he was equally, if not more, worried.

[lady_padma]

That sounds beautiful!

I can't believe they were considering setting that poor rabbit loose in the forest! It'd probably be eaten by something big and nasty.

[unsecretive]

I know! When she actually remembers I exist, Mum always knows just what to get! I've hardly put it down since I got it.

I can't believe it, either. I mean, if it were me, I would have asked Neville if he knew of another friend he had who might be allowed to take Panda Fredina from him, or, at the very least, let Neville send her home. But not all teachers can be as sane as I.

Lavender! That is.. that's.. that's.. fantastic! I'm so happy she's safe and sound! When do you want me to drop off her house and toys? Oh this is great news. Really splendid! Oh!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, L. A. B.

Panda Fredina's wonderful. She's been rather quiet, but considering that she's been away from you - she loves you a lot, you know - that's to be expected. Feel free to drop them off any time.

Oh wow. My initials spell 'lab'? I never realized that. That makes me feel all... scientific.

[nox_neville]

Oh, now, you're going to make me miss her. We can't have that. Because if we have that, it's going to make everyone sad. How about I throw in one of my ties along with her belongings? That way she can.. I dunno, smell me, I guess.

I wouldn't tell the twins that.

[unsecretive]

You're welcome to visit her, and me, at any time. Except, you know, at night and when we're in the dorms since those silly stairs are charmed to keep boys out of the girls' dorms and vice versa. I'm sure she'd like that. Gryffindor scarves make wonderful fashion accessories.

I don't associate with Weasley twins, anymore. I'll never forget what they did to me.

I'm so sorry my gift to you is late but Padma was in need.

Splotchy and I are going to Hogsmeade to pick you out a new one. He's so creative that I'm sure it will be loads better!

[unsecretive]

As long as I still get it, that's the important part.

You and Colin are going to Hogsmeade, you say? Well, thanks for thinking of me.

[pretty_vati]

We didn't have plans for Hogsmeade, did we? I just thought that since I needed to get you a new gift and Colin is so creative that we would pick out your gift.

Did you want to come along on my date?

[unsecretive]

No. No, we didn't. Don't be silly. Even if I wanted to come along, which I don't, I've already made... other plans. You have fun on your date.

I'm afraid I also had to steal some of your birthday present from Parvati, Lavender. But Happy Birthday all the same. I picked up a little something for you while shopping with my mother last month; Padma will give it to you when she sees you. Since I'm staying well away from a certain Gryffindor at the moment, and that means not going anywhere near the common area

[unsecretive]

Oh, that's delightful, Mandy! I'll get it from her. How are you, by the way? I've read things...
