R. Yaxley,

It's called humor. You ought to give it a try sometime. But I digress.

I am as well. I won't say I haven't been paranoid, particularly while opening Christmas presents, but I don't think it's without good reason. There was one gift that no one in the house could remember purchasing despite being labeled with my name. I would not open it until we discovered it was from my child cousin who had slipped it under the tree during a family party the week before. My mother thought I was being silly, but she didn't push.

I hope your holidays were well. Don't tell me they had you slaving over paperwork on Christmas morning.

Appeased, but not pleased,
Raphael Malfoy
