Miss Woodcroft,

I opted not to lead with my having your wand as I’d much prefer to make sure you were cautious about my owl – though I am surprised it’s decided to be kind to you. It hates me. It even tried to steal my wand once. Stupid bird.

And at any rate, I’m sorry you’re not feeling the best today but it will wear off once you’ve rested and kept yourself full of water. It will help dissolve dilute the alcohol.

No thanks are necessary. I was only doing what any man would do. And neither are any apologies, so please do not attempt to.

I’ll be in Hogsmeade once again later this afternoon and I shall have your wand. Make sure to bring a chaperone, though. I wouldn’t want any rumours to start at your expense. I’ll be at Padmore Park an hour before the evening meal.

In kind,
Charlie
