17th April 1890

Oh silly me, both of my guesses were wrong. I should have paid more attention, I apologize. Now that you mention that he was involved in quidditch I believe I know who you are refering too. He's a sponsor for a team, isn't he? I can't remember the city, but it was a bird - a magpie, I think? I think the fact he has retired from playing should be enough for mother - I wouldn't imagine a sponsor is that likely to be injured. It isn't like he coachs the team. Besides, that surely shows his wealth, the fact he can afford to outfit a whole team and provide for himself still.

But don't say things like that, Di, you'll scare me. I wait for Mother's letter that I'm to attend Pendergast as you did. though maybe she'll allow me a trial year as you did before she gets any ideas. I promise to focus on my studies, as long as you promise to wait until I'm home to start to plan your wedding. You are my only sister, I wish to help with it. You'll have to use Mr. Lynton for your dress, oh I can only imagine the spells he might place on it.

I think this alone will brighten my spirits enough to finish the year!
