I am sorry I didn’t get the chance to post you sooner, but its been a bit chaotic over here. Mum is in an absolute state and Da isn’t much better, although he does put on a braver front. It seems Dumbledore has decided to nominate my father to challenge Lucius Malfoy for the Head Ministry position. Needless to say, Mum and Da were quite surprised and a bit upset over the news when they read the Prophet this morning.

From talking to the others, I know that Miss MacLeod has offered to take the children with her to your home if things get bad here. I just need to know that that is truly the case, Malfoy has a very bad reputation of destroying anything that gets in his way, and his enemies have a concerning habit of disappearing or being found dead.

Aside from that, life is good, but I miss you very much. In fact, I’m rather at a loss to explain how I can possibly miss you so much after knowing you for so short a time. I do hope that you can come to visit me in Romania, I know you would adore seeing the dragons. If you can manage to make it here by the beginning of February, you may be able to see the eggs hatching. We have several brooding now, and they do loved to be cuddled and fussed over for the first few days. But, around a week old, that changes drastically, as I have learned the hard way.

Perhaps while you are here, we will be able to get to know one another a little better. I’m afraid there isn’t much of a night life here, unless you consider rounding up a few randy razorbacks fun, but I’m sure I could get the night off so we could pop off to Budapest or Munich for dinner.

Please write back to me as soon as you possibly can

Charlie
