London wasn't on the list, Kirke seemed pretty keen on staying in Hogsmeade and I had no skin in the game, so I figured it was fine. I would have been okay in London so my mother couldn't randomly drop by, but I assume she will always do so with food, so I probably shouldn't argue. I know Kirke his his siblings nearby, so that probably has something to do with it.

Scout is a pretty good little owl, quick, likes to be out, so I don't think he minds too much. I've sequestered a ministry owl because I'll be out tomorrow though.

You didn't do too bad on the shorthand, got most of the abbreviation and the numbers. I'm not sure I could give a 7/10 though. A T19 is almost impossible to figure out though, so don't take that personally. It's accidental transfiguration of a family pet. Happens more than you would imagine. I've met many a cat who lost their tail or was given wings. It's pretty funny. In that case my cousin transformed the family dog into some sort of odd half breed dragon. I've still got a scar on my forearm from getting burned.

Do you think you deserved dinner?
