Private Message to Sally-Anne

So, erm.

Wow.

I mean, that was...a lot to take in.

I guess you were dealing with loads more than I thought. When we were...well, you know.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry if I came off like a pillock.

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah.

And no hard feelings, you know? It's okay.

Are you going to come next time?

[alt_michael]

Maybe. I mean. I have to think about it.

I mean, don't worry. I'm--I agree, really. Mostly. I mean, some of--well. All I mean is, I'm not going to go tell the Headmistress or anything.

And it was interesting. And fun, really. I do want to hear more.

But it sounds to me like you and the others are...more involved than I think I'd be comfortable being. Or than my parents would like.

Bitsy's all excited about it but I think it's just that everything's new to her. (Well, and Diggory was there. And she fancies him. Only don't tell him that. He's in it, up to his eyeballs, isn't he?)

[alt_sally_anne]

You can come just to ask questions and listen, nothing scarier than that. Fancying Diggory is definitely not mandatory.

[alt_michael]

Yeah.

Maybe I'll tell Bitsy to stay home, then.

(Only. We are going to actually revise, some of the time, right? Because I think I could still use some extra time practising defensive spells and that.)

[alt_sally_anne]

Well it's not FORBIDDEN either, she should still come!

Next time I think it'll be the stories people were asking for right at the end this time.

But I think extra practise with defensive spells is a good idea.

[alt_michael]

Oi, she's my sister, I'll bloody well be the judge of what's forbidden and what's not.

[alt_sally_anne]

Well then I'd think you'd be happy to have her fancying Diggory. It's not as if he's going to treat her as anything other than a sweet little girl. It's almost as safe as her fancying Owain Pritchard or someone like that.

[alt_michael]

I'm not worried about her fancying Diggory.

I'm worried about her getting ideas about that sort of hero. I told you she's all excited about everything.
