How kind of your father to gift you the cottage! I know you love the solitude it provides, and, selfishly, I'm happy to hear you will still have a residence so close to me. We will have to have tea upon your return.

I mention Hogwarts to him regularly — both because I cannot comprehend he is old enough to go and to excite him. He seems to be looking forward to it minimally as of yet. I'm hopeful he will brighten to the idea once his letter comes this summer. However, I do have to admit I'm a tad envious that he will be residing at the castle soon. There was something magical about my school years that I miss terribly.

Should this letter not reach you before you set sail, I wish you the best of luck Nimmie. Safe travels!
