Sorry for a late response, things have been busy around here. My sister is forever following me about and hardly gives me a moment alone. I've taken to reading and writing while in the bath. Luckily, water splatters don't really show through in a book such as this.

Anyways, I'll be in Diagon Alley before returning to school. My mother is often preoccupied by the bratling so I can sneak away. Anyone fancy a walk in Knockturn? I'm sure we can come up with some excuses if we're asked while there. Otherwise I imagine it could be a worthwhile trip. I realize it's short notice but perhaps tomorrow would work?
