You might have seen the Prophet today already with the news that they’ve banned bludgers at Hogwarts - and I shan’t bore you with my opinions on the matter, but I suppose if it does anything to soothe the worries you or any other students’ guardians have of letting them play, I can at least be pleased about that.

Billie’s enthusiasm definitely doesn’t seem dampened - she has sent me a letter or two already, you might have seen that - and I’m enormously excited on her behalf all the same.

You grossly underestimate my nosiness, by the way. (Which I suppose makes sense, as I am practically a stranger!) The fact is now I have met Billie I shall need to know just about every adventure she has, and if you two do not write to me to satisfy my curiosity I promise I would be pestering you in person for the news instead, and you absolutely don’t want that. Your customers would begin to think Ollivander’s was haunted by a very loud ginger poltergeist!
