Hols and such
The Dales were lovely!
Mum was a bit sad that I wasn't home for Easter, but it isn't as if we really go to services or anything.
It was good to be back with the family generally; it's always sort of shocking how much bigger Peter and Carrie get when Ed and I aren't there. I can't believe Carrie's going to be at Hogwarts next year!
Oh, Sally Anne--they were both absolutely enchanted with the origami owl you gave me. Peter's already asking me if I can find him an origami book. I've had to hide it from Valkyrie, though--she keeps trying to attack it!
Neville, I've been doing my best to follow your instructions on the care and feeding of African violets, and I don't seem to have to done anything disastrous--so far, so good.
Mum & Dad had sent me a not on my birthday saying that they wanted to give me my present in person when I came home--you can imagine, I was dead curious. Well, it turns out that one of the Cannons players is upgrading, and he was willing to give Dad a good price on his old broom, so...I have a new broom! It's a Cleansweep 5, which is loads better than what I had before.
I can't wait to try it out!
Speaking of Quidditch, what do you lot think of that new side, the Lethifolds?

We did go to Easter services (Gran always insists) and they were quite nice. They decorate the church with a lot of blooming lilies and other plants.
Congratulations on the broom. I know the polite thing to say at this point is, 'I'd love it if you'd give me a chance to try it out when we're both back at school,' but you know me! I'd much rather Floo. I can't wait until I can learn to apparate.

And hey, if you ever do want to get a bit of flying practice in, you'd be welcome. Least I can do since you've really helped me bring up my Herbology mark!
