Dear Mel,
Oh Mel, it's so good to hear from you. I'm sorry I didn't write sooner as well! Every time I tried, it didn't feel like the words fit.

Father might be trying to arrange a marriage for me. The very thought rattles my nerves. Part of me was looking forward to a season. If for some of the more magical parties, if nothing else.

I would love to meet with you during a Hogsmeade weekend. May 10th is the last one. Oh goodness, I will be graduating soon! Did you hear? One of my fellow seventh year girls became an animagus this year. I wonder how many suitors she'll attract. Though she doesn't seem very enthused about the whole thing.

I'm sorry, I'm rambling. Would you like to meet in Honeyduke's? I want to see if I can get another Merlin card from one of the chocolate frogs. I seem to keep getting them, and it makes me curious if I'll actually get anything else.

With Love Care,
Miss Dorothy Finch
