V,

Went to Hogsmeade to try and track down Y and have somehow gotten myself magically attached to this woman up here. There was some sort of magical Irish thing involving tying knots around our fingers and they did not explain at all that there would be consequences — namely, can't seem to get out of her sight. Obviously, can't come back to the shop like this. Don't suppose you've ever heard of this? Or know how to fix it? I'm already sick of being married.

Rush,

And I assume the person that did the tying suddenly can't be found or is otherwise being useless? Maybe this is the one for you and you should just stay married to her. Fate works in mysterious ways and all that. Who knows, she could be the great love of your life.

Should I come there and find a bride, too?

V,

Yeah, somehow I doubt that. She doesn't seem to keen on the whole thing, either, so the chances that we're secretly soulmates seem slim to none. And she doesn't really seem my type. She barely speaks. I think she's part mouse.

Reva probably wouldn't be too amused if we both ended up stuck in Hogsmeade married to folks we'd never met before. Plus, who in the world could put up with all your antics? Best not.

Rush

Rush,

Dear brother, you should know by now when I am not taking something seriously - because I rarely ever do. The day I marry would be a deep day of mourning and there would have been something clearly wrong with me.

So, what do you propose we do? Should I come there regardless?

Is she just.... sitting there with you as you write us about your predicament?

V,

Yes, actually. It's rather awkward.

Rush

Rush,

Is she at least pretty? I cannot imagine what I'd do if I was shackled to a woman that looked like a cross between a hag and a troll.
