I am learning to play chess from Ron.

I'm very bad at it, though, so if anyone wants to practise with me that would be good. Ron is nice and doesn't laugh at me, though sometimes I think he wants to.

However, I don't have a chess set. Anyone have one I could borrow? Lucius? Do you play?

Mum says chess is a very Slytherin game and my father used to play it. She hasn't owled me since the Howler, so I guess she's not talking to me right now. She does that when she's unhappy with me. She just cuts me off, as mums do. Better than her yelling, though. She'll get drunk and forget all about it after a while.

I miss Marie, kind of, because she kept me company at night. But Sally-Anne says I'm not walking in my sleep so that is a good thing, I guess.

I want to send an owl because I have a very important question to ask. But I don't have one. What should I do? May I borrow someone's owl?

I'd never think of laughing. At all. Ever.

Nope.

You can borrow Hedwig Pansy.

I don't know whether your mother kept your father's chessmen but I'll ask her if you like. If she has it, I'll ask her to send it to you.

I'll play chess with you. I'm rubbish at it, though.
