Millie,
Thank you for your kind congratulations, I am so very happy with how things have worked out. Please do not fret further about the Christmas party, all is long since forgiven.

You may find it strange to write my name to be, but I assure you I find it stranger to see the words staring up at me. I do not believe it has truly begun to sink in. I know I am happy, and I have an idea for what our life to be, but it seems more a daydream than reality. Does that make sense?

You may rest assured that you can speak of it with your parents, I wrote your mother as well as mother was quite bursting to tell them. I think she may be more excited than I am about the turn of events.

As for the wedding, I have not yet decided who will stand with me. I suppose it comes from having so many sisters. I don't want one to think I love her any less than the other if I do not pick her. But it seems a tad ridiculous to have all of stand up there. There are an awful lot of us after all.

If they do not agree to the new dress I shall certainly have mother intercede on your behalf. I think it hardly fair to have such an event to attend without a new dress. It seems so incredibly cruel. You shall, of course, be invited. I am hoping that we may be able to have a summer wedding before you and Calla are back at Hogwarts for next term.

Thank you for trusting me with your secret, I shall not tell a soul, and such an exciting secret as that. I can not believe none of us knew about it! Where does it lead? I shall not tell a soul. But know that I am so very curious to know exactly what (and whom) happened with Misters Beck and Finnigan.

I always rather liked potions, but had the feeling that Professor Valendarius would one day die and simply reappear to teach as a ghost.

I am glad that the cookies were enjoyed.

My curiosity thanks you for a prompt reply, I am on tenderhooks waiting to hear about this latest adventure.

All my love,
Dahlia
