The 29th isn't too far away! I'll see if I can have that day off and perhaps we could get some hot chocolate again instead. There are a few sweet shops in London but none compare to Mr. Honeyduke's. Plus, with it being so cold out the warmth would be nice.

I understand what you mean about it feeling more real. That's how I felt the entirety of last year, like I was standing on the cusp of adulthood and my future. It's a very daunting feeling. I wish I could say it gets better in time, but having been out of school for over six months now I can't say the real world is any less daunting. You just have to muddle through it, I think. The good news is by the time you graduate the boys will have been in the world for a year and myself for two, so you'll have plenty of people to help support you if you need!

I'll consider moving to Hogsmeade once my training is done. It would be nice to be so near all my friends again.
