Dear Bill
No need to get into a strop. It was only two bottles between the sixth and seventh years and a select few younger students that got to join in. I had ONE glass unlike Lee who had quite a few more than that. Fred and George had to help him up to their dorm and all those there swore to watch out for each other. That's how Lee had so much no-one was watching how much he was drinking.
I passed on the message from your mother and they said her advice is 'duly noted' which I think translates as 'thanks for the warning but we're doing it any way'. Oh and the twins also said to ask you not to mention the drinking to your mother.
Now last night they announced the champions. Somehow Harry's name came out of the cup. Every one thinks he fooled it some how but he says he didn't. He and Ron had a fight about it and now they aren't talking. It seems only me; Hermione and Pani are sticking by him. Everyone else is talking about him behind his back. The other Hogwarts champion is Cedric. Pani says she warned him but he didn't listen to her. The other two champions are Viktor Krum (the Bulgarian seeker) from Durmstrang and a very pretty girl named Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons. Ron reckons she's part Veela.
I took the photo shoot opportunity. Pani is going to be doing a lot of stuff on the tournament like there's going to be an interview with the champions and a photo shoot. My photo shoot was really fun. Ok I better finish up Luna's come to help me with my potions homework.
Loving being back

P.S. I got a letter from Charlie and he says he'll be here before the first task. Is he really going to be here?
