22 22. Boredom and Letters

I have to apologize. In chapter One of Book One, I implied that Petey Macnair was a year ahead of Minerva in school. That was before I decided (due to a very warm response to the wayward boy by my reviewers) that he had the potential to be an important influence in the upcoming phase of Minerva's life. So now he's actually two years ahead of her with an early birthday to boot, which would make him both a seventh year and 'of age' in the coming chapters.
