Dear Someone,

Alas! To think that I have missed the possibility of Spain! But I agree that portkeys at this juncture might be ill-advised, and in any case if I am to explore Spain it's probably best to do it in the daylight hours. Exploring the Black Lake in pursuit of strange creatures does sound like a marvelous adventure. There are some rowboats at one edge of the lake, and although I imagine they're probably secured in some fashion after sunset I'm sure it's nothing an enterprising gentleman might not overcome (particularly if the other adventuring option you devised involved breaking and entering — while I am not usually of the criminal inclination I admit to being intrigued enough by this I am almost inclined to volunteer for it, just to see what it is you had in mind).

I suggest we meet in one week; that ought to give us both enough time to adequately prepare for a creature-finding expedition, I should think (what these preparations entail I shall leave to both of our imaginations). You'll have to write and tell me what you intend to wear, so that I can discern you from any ruffians who might be lurking in the park at night looking for young women to kidnap and perhaps transfigure into zebras.

Sincerely,
Adventurous
