I hope this does not come across as too unexpected, for I was charmed by our conversation last night. I am a little new to this whole arrangement of calling upon ladies after an evening and so I thought a letter might be alright as well? It seems quite forward to show up at one's home unannounced. I fear as though I have not enough training on such subjects. Clearly young ladies know all of the ins and outs and I simply do not. If I asked my mother, I would get a lecture, of which I am also not keen on?

How was your morning? I unfortunately had to run into the office, which also prevented me from stopping by. I have included some flowers, of which my younger sister tells me is customary. The white hyacinths are quite aromatic, I hope you like them.

Mother would be pleased to know that I my manners have not suffered too poorly. If you were to know my mother, you would know that anything you ask, does in fact come with a lecture, and I feel like she would have made an excellent professor at Hogwarts for it. I am pleased to hear, at least, that the flowers were enjoyable, I thought them quite the lovely silhouette, in addition to the fragrance.

My goodness! That sounds like quite the splash indeed. I too wondered what caused the kerfuffle then. Do you suppose he had vexed her? Tried to get too close? Perhaps he had foul-smelling breath? I can imagine several different reasons, but none of them quite warrant a full shove into the pond.

Your cousin is undoubtedly trying to fleece you; snidgets have not been used in the sport for several hundred years after their near extinction in the 1200s. We only use the snitches now. Much easier, less messy. More humane as well. I have however, seen some in person, they are impossibly tiny and fast, so I can understand the inspiration for the snitch. Speaking of, work will tie me up quite a bit over the next few weeks, unfortunately I will be unable to find a time to call during normal hours. I hope that is alright.

I am quite invested in your revenge now. Family always has a way of getting to us. I have heard that there was a hatching of some at the zoo in Irvingly. Have you ever been? Mandira, I guess I did not realize you were educated abroad. What an adventure that must have been. May I ask what it was that brought you to this side of the world then? I must admit I did not do too much extensive traveling, only to the continent really, upon my own graduation, but I did enjoy it.

It is nice to know my comments about my mother do not come across as complaining. While she can be a little overbearing sometimes, she does it out of love, so it is hard to hold it against her. I would much rather have somebody be straightforward with me than try to dance around situations. She is unafraid to tell me like it is, and I am grateful for it. I do not quite hold the same sentiments for my sisters, both of whom have inherited this trait. It is something else entirely to be told off by your younger sisters time and again.

Your patience is most appreciated. It is never a dull moment around the league, which is good, for I do not sit well. The busier the better. I look forward to your evaluation of the Wasps, it has been a while since they have been in good competition, perhaps this will be their year. I have sent along some yellow calla lilies in hopes that they will hold my place until I am available to call.

My condolences on the loss of your mother. Life is never quite the same after a loss like that. I am not quite sure what I would do without mine, even as a grown man. You may borrow her whenever you like, she would have enjoyed more daughters. I'm glad you have your aunt to support your endeavors in you mother's stead, if that is what you were hoping for. How are you finding Britain now that you have been here for enough time to form an opinion? I am always curious to know what others think.

I have yet to visit the Sanditon's menagerie, I should find a time to do so. I enjoy the Podmore Zoo quite a bit, it is always interesting to see the creatures from different parts of the world. I was enthralled by the class at Hogwarts and it has always been a source of fascination. Unfortunately not something I could pursue as a career, but enough to find reasons enough to visit the zoos.

I'm sure your yellow token will bring them the best of luck. I will be there, but unfortunately incredibly occupied. I hope you enjoy the match!
