I understand and respect your preference - I was merely mentioning my cats as an independent and easier-to-care-for alternative. Though, I was given some grief for choosing a cat over an owl. But Frost was a gift from my mother, so I was rather attached. Aulay is lovely.
I'll not bother you about this wife opinion further. For now. We will have to have an in-depth discussion about it when you come home for the holiday. Same with your writing. Your spelling is still atrocious. I have to ask Victor to help me figure out what you're saying most of the time.
Just wait until you can choos your OWL courses. I know you'll enjoy Care of Magical Creatures. I enjoyed it, and quite clearly so did Victor. We'll work on your writing, and I can help you with any holiday homework you're given. I didn't do terribly during my school days.
