(A/N: Kinz really needs to start writing these notes, I'm running out of things to say. . Oh well, on with the chapter….)

Dear Wishing for More,

Never mind. I can get my own stuff if I hurry. I'll just sneak out; I'm 'of age' in the Wizarding world, so I can use magic as long as I'm alone. But thanks for the offer. It was really sweet of you.

Yes, it would be bad for you to know who I am. Imagine if someone knew all about my family and knew who I was? They'd probably, I don't know, call Magical Social Services on me. Which I'm guessing you would, since you seem to "care" for me. Most people's definition of caring is smothering them. I don't know what you're like yet, but it's best to be cautious.

I'm glad Baden seems to like me – that makes, let's see, two people in the entire universe – but what are you telling him about me? Better not be the secrets….

Thank you for the potion. It was wonderful (despite the lovely flavor of raw eggs).

Meh, I've learned to deal with home life. Six years of anything and you get used to it. I only make it sound that bad. Rissa says I'm melodramatic. So don't worry about me.

Tell Baden he's cute and tickle him for me.

Bored as Hell.

P.S. Maybe she's giving you time to – how do I put this – get over her? Or at least shape up. If I disliked you that much, I'd avoid you, too.

Dear Bored as Hell,

Too late. I got you your stuff already, and anything you pay me will go straight into vault 742. your stuff is in vault 1891, a small behind the counter so you won't have to go into the tunnels.

I want you to stop saying you're being melodramatic. No matter how long something goes on, you do not have to suck it up. You don't deserve this. Six years doesn't make it okay.

If I knew your name, I'd come get you and we could kidnap Baden and run away together, maybe to America or India. I don't care where, as long as it's far away from here. Me and Baden have been planning this for years, except in his version we take his mum, too.

Thanks for the advice about Tess, but getting over her is extremely unlikely. It seems like you've done this before….

Well, I'd write more, but Baden needs a bath.

Rissa is Wrong,

Wishing for More
