Well, once I managed to get all my shopping done, Christmas was lovely! Sally-Anne came over, and mum made her glass star for the top of the tree, and we had a lovely breakfast in our pyjamas. I've been picking away at my guitar for the last few days, and will have to get some lessons this summer for certain! It's utterly brill, Draco, thank you. And I can't wait to go to Presto with you.

And my other presents were also very thoughtful, and much appreciated! I'm writing thank-you owls today, because there's not much to do what with Rosa and Prospero going on their honeymoon to Bath, and Sally-Anne back at the Strettons. But it is nice to just relax, and later this afternoon, I'm planning on riding Onions if the sun comes out.

Aunt Narcissa, I know I'll be spending time with Lucius and Draco before the end of hols, but I was wondering if we could have tea sometime now that I've got all my paperwork sorted. Mr Baddock and Lucius have been an enormous help, of course, but I'd really appreciate your advice.

I'd be happy to have tea, dear, but - I'm not quite sure what advice you're expecting. I should think you know better than to follow Ms Tonks Mrs Ponds' examples for life-planning.

Hah! naturally. No, I didn't have questions like that. I was just wondering about things like the proper amount to give to charities, and which ones were appropriate, and if there's anything I should start subscribing to that you'd suggest, because I really have no idea at all.

I would ask mum, but she's been no help at all, and has really let that sort of thing fall by the wayside the last couple of years, and it's just that I very much want to do what's proper. That's all. And you're the best person I know to ask.

Ah, well. Somehow I am not surprised that your mother has had limited experience but never fear, we'll sort it out.

I'll have Lucius arrange lunch for the three of us after we send Draco back to Hogwarts, Thursday. That should be more than enough time to discuss the appropriate donations for next calendar year.

Thank you! That sounds just perfect.
