My Journal

Ginny and I just got back from Hogsmeade.

First we went to 'The V and B Shop' so that we could get what I actually needed. The shopkeeper is a middle-aged witch by the name of Hyacinth. Along with the vials she gave me a chest with a lock and key. She said she had been given an extra one in an order so I could have it, free of charge. Needless to say I was thrilled. I left her a role of parchment in thanks.

We then went to 'The Owl Post Office' so Ginny could send her letter to Bill. She chose a gorgeous barn owl that only cost her a sickle to hire.

Ginny had told me about a new inn called 'Draconis' so we went there for a look. The owner was a very young wizard named Leon, who Ginny began to hit on straight away. We bought bottles of 'Apple ale', which is a new drink that tastes a bit like cider. Leon offered to show us the accommodation that they have upstairs and Ginny agreed so I went with her. The rooms are fantastic. They have a gigantic king-sized bed with a built in vibration. Ginny and Leon had a lie down whilst I had a look in the adjoining bathroom. It looks like the personal bathroom that I have at home except it has a big spa bath in it instead of a very long vanity.

Oh! I just got an owl from Judith who is staying with my parents, her aunt Chelsea and uncle Richard. I have to reply so goodbye for now.
