ORDER ONLY: Private Message to Terry Boot and Colin Creevey

(Hey hey, Professor.

I was talking to Mr and Mrs L earlier, and they said the new tent would be ready for you lot by Sunday. Mrs L just has to fiddle with some of the charms on it first. Weatherproofing and concealment and the like. Thought I'd pass it along, so everyone can pack up their gear and get ready to move in to the new digs. I'd imagine the current one is pretty crowded, hey? Sarah said she couldn't even imagine how it slept four when she took over your bunk, so five's got to be pushing at the seams. I hope they're not making you kip on the floor or something.

Sherwood treating you well enough? I know it's no Hogwarts.)

I think what finally made me 'come to terms' with it, as you put it, was that for the first time I thought about what Hermione would want me to do. If she knew (but I don't think she does. Anyway, I'm not going to tell her.) She's very kind. She wouldn't want a boy mooning hopelessly after her just because it makes her feel important or special. She'd want me to be happy, too.

And she's always so practical. I remember all the times we practised charms together, and she would say, 'If something's not working, don't let yourself get stuck. Try something else if you're going nowhere, or even rethink your goal.'

Realising that made the decision to leave sort of obvious then.

We have so much history with me as boot, too.
