I shall endeavour to call on you sometime soon, then, and relieve us both of the boredom! How are you getting on with Mr. Devine's parents thus far, mind you? Oftentimes I can barely stomach my own parents, let alone anyone else's!

Not that you aren't far more charming a creature than me. Although I expect it must be almost wearisome to be liked by practically everyone, would you say? (Besides Witch Weekly, of course.)

Having said that, it occurs to me that perhaps there is even more to the mystery than an "accidental" doppelganger. Perhaps you have an arch enemy, a secret nemesis, and the vision of you in the Hog's Head not accidental at all. They may not even be associated with the magazine themselves, you see, for they might be all dressed up in polyjuice potion to imitate you directly for reasons of their own. It would be an ingenious way to toy with a rival's reputation. Or, after all, they might have even more nefarious goals than wounding reputations! The next article may well be "Ophelia Devine Murders Ten Men", for all we know!

I don't suppose you've any vague memories of someone sneaking off with some of your hair, or a fingernail, or... a body part, any body part at all?

I won't hear your protests of this, by the way. I'm terribly bored. Let me spiral.  

With love to you and
