I think as long as you're not demanding free sweets daily it wouldn't be an issue. A single cup of hot chocolate is hardly going to destroy his finances. Besides, it'll be Dahlia's shop as much as it's his, so a cup for her sister is completely reasonable. It is strange to think you'll be so connected with all known names though. Do you think Mr. Grimstone will gift you with a free broom at futureChristmases?

Moving to Hogsmeade would be a dream indeed. Truthfully, I sometimes consider asking Daffodil if I might be her roommate just to get away from the farm. Father's mood is dreadful and even my mother's expression is not sour than not these days. I think everyone should be a lot happier if the house burned to embers and they were finally free of their failures. At least then they could decide to move and I might be allowed to stay.

The 29th will be here before we know it. I'm looking forward to seeing you.
