They may not be, but if your parents are anything like mine, they have rather high expectations of your future. And I am sorry to hear that nothing spectacular came of the dance card you got. Still, dances are just dances, and if I were you I would not be too disheartened. The best thing you can do, with what little I know of romance and of life, is keep your hopes up and your mind open. Something may be just around the corner, whether or not you are expecting it.

Are you fond of quidditch? I plan to go to the games here but I know little about the British team, and not being a countryman here, I have no stake in who wins. But thank you for your list of names connected to Divination, it is certainly a start! You have not disappointed at all, you’ve been very helpful.

And no doubt I will write to you for more information on any season’s events that arise once the quidditch is over. Perhaps we will even meet in person at one of them! (And maybe you will have the good fortune of meeting someone you could fall in love with. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.)
