I suppose you’re right, and that most things worth having probably take a fair bit of work. In any case, I’ve had some letter writing practice now (thanks!), so that can’t hurt my chances when it comes to keeping old friends.

Crowdy Memorial, you mean! Yes, that’s a good idea. I’ve been there a few times in the summers before, and if you think Hogwarts has a good library, you’ll be amazed at the size of that place – maybe neither of us will end up missing the castle at all.

In the meantime, I’ll see you in the Hogwarts library soon enough, I’m sure! (You can tell me what your plans are after OWLs. Are you going to be working on the farm?)
