Dear Amergin,

Yes, well, I would've talked to him earlier if he had backed off before. I'm glad you're proud of me, though. How's it going with Tess?

I don't get the irony thing, but whatever. I don't get a lot of things, mostly about the meaning of life, the Marauders, and the subjects of McGonagall's essays. I swear, it would take a genius to understand those essays! Of course, you probably get them. You're perfect, remember? (Just kidding.)

You only had to tutor in flying? I had to tutor him in everything else. Charms, Transig, DADA, Potions, and I even had to stay up late to tutor him in Astronomy. And he is HOPELESS!

Who said anything about backing out? I spent the last week making my costume and mask; I'm not letting this all go to waste. Besides, I'm kind of curious about who you are.

6 days!

Love (platonically, of course)

Katrina

Dear Katrina,

Tess has been marginally less bitchy lately. I have no idea why, but I like it. It means I can compliment her without having my head bitten off.

So, what do you know about the Marauders? I've heard of them, but I don't really know all that much… And I only understand McGonagall's essays because I have Remus explain them to me in very small words. Really, he's extremely useful to have around. Everyone should have a Remus.

I actually had to tutor him in everything as well. I guess he went through tutors pretty quick.

I was just making sure about the backing out thing. I didn't think you 'd actually back out or anything (well, I hoped anyways).

Only 5 more days until the ball. I can't wait.

Love,

Amergin
