Cousin, I owe you thanks once again for your many kindnesses, most especially your thoughtful Christmas gift, which continues to serve me and to serve Our Lord in endlessly ingenious ways.

I wouldn't say it's quite like that. Not in the way you think. And it's not quite that simple, either. But I wouldn't rule it out entirely.

Didn't you have someone totally out of your reach that you went a bit mad over when you were in school? Or is that just something girls do? Merlin, when I was only a year older than she was, I remember

Well, it's sort of embarrassing. But needless to say, I was very much wrapped up in it, and even though I wouldn't even say I fancied him, I certainly loved him very fiercely and deeply, in my way. It was all quite chaste, of course. But I was would have been just devastated if he'd come to harm, and I couldn't claim the familiarity that she can.

Course I had, Allie. Trouble is, she was a rather swotty prefect.

And then she went and married an Auror, if you please.

Anyway, it's a bit on the refreshing side to see someone else give a tinker's what happens to him. But I can't imagine she's sweet on him. You don't know Reg that well; he's got this way that keeps you from throttling him even when he soundly deserves it. I'm sure she's just interested in his jokes and such, and yeah, I guess I'm a connection to that. And if she's got Malfoy as wrapped round her wand as it looks, he'll not do more than grumble.

But I did see the bastard's comment, and it's got me to thinking, that perhaps they have some way of tracing comments back to the ones who make them. So if for no other reason than that, it's worth not encouraging her.

You really are too sweet for your own good, sometimes.
