LETTER TWENTY-NINE
Mr. Oliver Wood
Co/- Lucille Birmin
London Hospital for Magical Folk
Dear Oliver,
I am sorry the other letter was so short. I was about to go into an exam when Snow White gave it to me and yes, it cheered me up so much that I was sort of hyper for the rest of the exam and everyone was wondering why I was so happy all of a sudden. Your words were incredible... Lucille was right. I felt I could hear you speaking to me as I read it.
Good news from my end of England too... your letter changed my life too. I passed all of my exams easily and with flying colours! You, Oliver Wood, made me ace everything and I got the highest score out of all of the Seventh Years. All of those years slogging away in the library were so worth it! Dumbledore noticed the change in me and he knows how hard I've worked here at Hogwarts and let me resit anything I failed the first time round. I am floating in heaven Ol, I hope you are too.
It's a sudden decision to leave professional Quidditch but I understand fully where you are coming from. Although I have never played Professional Quidditch I understand from what you have told me and I think a good break out of the fame will do you the world of good! You can come and stay with me and we can live happily ever after!
I never thought I'd hear you say those three words Ol. But when you did, well there are no ways to explain it.
As for me, my schooling years are nearly over. One more week here at Hogwarts and it will be gone. I am soooo sad that I will be leaving my home of seven years but in a lot of ways, I can't wait to leave. There is so much for me, sorry US to explore and I intend on doing it all! I will stay in contact with Harry and Ron and the Weasleys forever and ever I know that too because we have become such good friends.
Harry is no longer with Nat (Did I tell you about them?) as she is going to study dragons in Romania (sound familiar?). He is happy single and is going to stay with the Weasley family. Ron and Lavender have also split up but I never really thought they were that well suited in the first place.
The Malfoy family are in financial trouble and Draco has become quiet, unannoying (?) and all together a bit of a wimp. I think he failed all of his exams as he wouldn't show anyone (not even Crabbe and Goyle) his results parchment and they have sort of turned their backs on him. Amazingly, both of them are rather pleasant to talk to when they're not being bossed around by Malfoy. Lucious is in Azkaban and there was a huge article about it in the Daily Prophet.
As I was saying though, it is sad to leave Hogwarts but it must happen. I am going to do a course however, after a bit of a break from school work, and guess what- Dumbledore has asked me to become a teacher at Hogwarts!!! Life is good Oliver, I hope you are still positive. I think I will teach Defence Against the Dark Arts, even if students say it is cursed. I intend on proving to the Hogwarts Student Body that the only reason teachers lasted a year was because they never found the right person. I believe and Dumbledore believes that I am the right person and I will do my best. Have you decided what you want to do now instead of Quidditch?
I must go now, the goodbye celebrations are beginning tonight and I need to get ready. I will take some photos tonight and send them to you first thing tomorrow morning. I love you!
