Dahlia

I've had quite a bit of time to think about the Christmas party, and I need to beg your forgiveness for how I acted. Excitement got the best of me, I fear, and I should have let you and Mr Honeyduke tell our family when you were ready. Still, I am beyond overjoyed for your upcoming marriage! I am not too wise to miss wishing you my best congratulations at the news that you will soon be Mrs. Dahlia Honeyduke.

It feels quite strange to write that, does it feel strange to consider it? Do you have your bridesmaids all picked out yet, too? If your wedding isn't so far away to keep me from attending, it would be just the occasion for a new dress, too. I would like to tell Mum and Papa, but perhaps I will wait to let you spread the news first this time. I'm sure they'll be as excited for you and Mr. Honeyduke as I am.

Since I shared one of your secrets, I'll share one of mine with you. I found a secret passageway in Hogwarts, and I'm fairly certain no one else knows about it. No one aside from a couple of friends of mine, Anne and Greta, I mean. Well, and Jimmy Fletcher. And somehow Maxwell Beck, who I thought was Callum Finnigan but he was lying to me about that. Do you know any Becks? They must not be very trustworthy, if this Mr. Beck is anything to go by. I can only hope he'll be as deceitful about this secret passageway as his name, so that others don't find out.

It's in the fourth floor girl's bathrooms. I feel comfortable sharing that with you, by the way, knowing it won't spread to Hogwarts.

Oh, I've written too much and it's time for Potions. Horrible class, I wish I could go without, but I need this grade more than most. I'll tell you about everything in my next letter, I promise it won't be so long, or long awaited!

Yours,
Millie
