(Ha, ha, making up for lost time. Also, someone pointed out that Hurricane Katrina hadn't happened yet. That's true; that's why we didn't say she named herself after the hurricane itself. The name was in the registry of possible names for hurricanes. We imagine there is one, because when they find out that a hurricane is or may be occurring, they don't just ask the nearest person their favorite girl's name starting with Q. If there isn't one, well, we made one up. We make a lot of things up.)
Amergin,
Well, how else would they identify hurricanes? Numbers get confusing. It's interesting, not stupid. And neither is muggle post. It's amazingly accurate. A bit slower, perhaps, but they don't use owls, so what can you expect? Sorry about that; you have to remember how touchy I am about muggles.
Remus is cool; you can't help but be nice to him. He's the only one in the school who knows anything about my life, aside from you. I take it Remus is one of your three best friends?
Oh, my god. Christie (my old friend, long story) just got called out of History of Magic by McGonagall herself, which means someone died, was injured, or went missing. Or something of the sort. Can you find out more? Nobody will tell me anything.
To finish your letter, I wasn't really expecting you to tell me about Remus. It's fine with me.
Maybe wizarding newspapers should have advice columns. Maybe then they wouldn't be so messed up.
Katrina
Katrina,
Yeah, because muggle advice columns aren't screwed up at all. I've seen some of these letters, "I'm sixteen and pregnant with my boyfriend's fourth baby. We were going to get married, but then he cheated on me with my grandmother. He says that it was just a one-night stand and that I should forgive him because it didn't mean anything. Am I wrong to hold a grudge?"
I contacted my sources, and apparently Christie's parents up and left last night. Just took off, no warning, no note or anything. And they didn't take anything but their wants with them, not even money. Since Christie's of age, I guess she can live on her own. Apparently she wasn't even all that upset.
Hope that helps,
Amergin.
