Thank you so very much for the sweets. It was so thoughtful of you to share some with me. I hope you had an exceptionally pleasant holiday.

Are you excited about the YPL essay contest? We find out who won this weekend, isn't it? I'm certain Umbridge will appreciate yours, because it was brilliant.

I'm glad you came, Lines. It was good of Gupta and Mukherjee to start things while we were at the Prefects' meeting, too - Rohani was a little worried they wouldn't be able to keep everyone from just grabbing up all the food but they held their own.

Did you notice that Darshana was so happy when you talked to her? I think she's really starting to look like our Aunt Sivarti but Pavs thinks she might put on weight like cousin Nindira. She's pretty for now, though, don't you think?

Oh, the essay. I guess that's right. To be honest I haven't been thinking about it much. There's so much other homework to do! But I appreciate it. I'm sure yours was amazing, too. But I bet the prize will go to a younger student, anyway. It seems like the kind of encouragement they need, right?
