Arabella,I would not stand for anything except getting my school supplies all at once! It's all a part of the experience, and one I would not give up for the world. I've been waiting for the day I get to visit Diagon Alley to purchase my school supplies since my brother went off to Hogwarts! Do you plan to bring a pet to school?
I've sent the pink book with a foreign title; hopefully it comes with mentions of unicorns and dragons, but I confess I'm not too hopeful of that. I would take a book full of pictures over others any day; they're much more soothing.
Yours,
Flora
