Dearest Maddy
Oh, what a painful oversight! I suppose it might be too much to write in for a retraction? Not to mention it might end up hurting Annies feelings. I am sorry this happened, Maddy.

I think perhaps it bothers you because it feels exactly like you said, that the Prophet erased her presence. It would have been nice to see her name in print alongside your accomplishment as a Hogwarts graduate.

As for the outside world, it has been a bit of a whirlwind. My brother was surprised as he assumed I would be joining the Quidditch industry alongside you. But I know my limits - I was never a talent like you and do not have the skill to take things to a professional level. Even so, I shall be at every game!
