Lysander,

The girls insisted that I send you this picture they drew for you. It's hard to tell, but they said it's all of us playing hide and seek with them.

They keep asking when you're coming back.

Wherever you are, I hope you're having fun.

Thank you for drawing. It's hanging in my tent. Nice to have positive things to focus on. Tell them I love it.

Attached - dried billywig stings coated in rose honey. Honey from home. Dried the stings myself.

Lysander,

They asked again when you were coming back. They said they want to play hide 'n seek with us.

Also, I guess when you get back it'll be nice you won't have to see me as often. I am Hufflepuff's new Head of House? I don't really know how that happened, but I'm going to be really busy and not around as much.

Parts of your letter were water-damaged. Confident I'm reading it wrong. I like spending time with you. I liked it.

I'll be back in Britain on the 1st. You'll be busy. One of the [the word is crossed out several times and unreadable] Someone I'm travelling with says that's the first day of the school term. You'll be busy. Maybe too busy.

I want to see you. Say yes.

Lysander,

I'm busy the first part of the week with class, but we could do lunch Thursday or Friday. Where?
