A/N: Does anyone know anything about British slander/libel laws? I'd appreciate an email/review/private message with a brief description. Thanks.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter any more than I did in chapter one.

Mum-
I take it back! I do not ever want to hear anything about any of the Triwizard champions ever again.
There is a dance right before we go home for Christmas, the Yule Ball. Only fourth years and older are invited, but younger students can go if asked by an older student. As a result, all of the third years and even some of the second are desperately trying to find an older date. Even some of the first years are trying, but mostly not from Ravenclaw.
To make things even better, the champions will lead the dancing, so those three (not counting Potter) are the most sought out partners.
Viktor Krum is by far the most popular. He isn't at all good looking, but he's a famous quidditch player, which more than makes up for his looks, at least in the opinion of most girls here.
Cedric Diggory runs a distant second. He's cute and nice, but he already asked Cho Chang, a fifth year Ravenclaw prefect. I think I mentioned her before; she's nice. Anyway, this means the Ravenclaws don't pine over him too loudly. This doesn't stop the other houses, but I know most of the Slytherin girls are too busy panting after Krum, and a lot of other girls don't want to annoy Cho.
Harry Potter isn't even in the running. I think a lot of it is because he's only a fourth year. While a lot of first through third years might see him as a way to the ball, a lot of them are Diggory fans. The Slytherins and Hufflepuffs are still against him, and a lot of the Ravenclaws have converted since Cho started dating Cedric.
Fleur Delacour is the only female champion, and she easily has as large a percentage of the male population panting after her as Krum has of the females. She's not famous or anything, but it's rumored that she's part veela. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but as far as I can tell, veela are magical creatures that are really good at getting men to pant after them.
I'm sure the school sent a notice home, but I need picked up at King's Cross Station, Platform 9 ¾ on 19 December, at 3 p.m.

Lin-
Are you willing to go halves with me for Mum's Christmas gift? I found a really cute family figurine in an owl order catalog, but it's more than I can afford. I attached the picture. Let me know soon.
