Happy New Years Remus! I am sorry I have not been able to write, I have been busy.

You will not believe the experience I had on Christmas Eve! Hogwarts hosted a BALL. It's called the Yule Ball and everything was so magical and wonderful, I could hardly believe my eyes. We had been preparing for it, of course, what with ballroom dance lessons and such, but the beauty of the decorations and the dressed up students was simply breath taking.

Naturally, Viktor was my date for it and since he is one of the Champions he and I, along with the other Champions and their dates, officially the ball by dancing first. I do admit I was a bit nervous but Viktor is a decent dancer and he led me well enough. Anyway the point is, is that my night started wonderfully, but it did not end on a good note. Ron and I got into an argument a bit after most of the guests left and it caused me to go back to my room, leaving Viktor behind without a clue as to what was going on with me. Now he's a bit upset with me.

By the way, he does the most peculiar thing to my name. He can't say it properly, he calls me 'Hermoninie'.

The next task is coming up in a few days and so far Harry and I have found nothing. I've been so busy reading all sorts of books on magical marine biology in the library that I haven't done any light reading! You see, it's going to have to require Harry being underwater for a long period of time. He's asked me for a way for him to breathe underwater, but I have drawn the line on that one. He can research and come up with a solution himself. Maybe he'll research so thoroughly that he'll find the bubblehead charm aquaer that would be the best solution to his dilemma.

Well I've taken up enough of your time and my parchment,

Hermione

P.S.-Oh my goodness! thank you for the gloves, they're lovely!

Hermione,

a happy new year to you too. Don't be afraid of writing too much dear, because this is the only way we can communicate. Besides, I love reading what you write. I am happy that you got to experience a true magical ball. Alas, I have never been to one, but I have heard, and you have confirmed this, that they are magnificent.

And Krum isn't doing anything 'peculiar' to your name, he's butchering it. While I am on the subject of him, I must warn you to be careful with him Hermione. He's older, a celebrity, and he goes to Durmstrang. It doesn't help that there are many pictures of him with many different witches on his arm. I know you should have the experience of having a 'boyfriend' but I would encourage you to reconsider giving Krum such a label. That is all I will say about it.

Things are going well enough with me. Things between Tonks and I have been a bit strained since we had a minor row about the Christmas gift you sent me. She thinks our relationship is improper and that I should have returned the gift (yes, she knows about you now. Up until our row I always described you as just a friend and never specified). I sent her away, because you're the best thing that's happened to me Hermione. If she can't handle that then she can leave, even though I care for her very much.

She has since come back, but as I said, things are a bit tense.

Yours,

Remus

A/N: SO I THOUGHT I'D UPDATE FOR SPRING BREAK SINCE I'LL BE GONE ALL WEEK.
