I'm alright at cooking but I've never cooked for so many people before. Also I don't know how to do fancy things like roast beef, I'm better at soup and bread. Writing your mum is a good idea, I'll owl her this morning, I expect she knows some charms to make the washing up easier too.

I was expecting they'd send me around to the farms some like last year but I haven't set foot out the front door since I got here. I went to the Malfoy's by floo and came back by floo and the closest I've come to the outside is looking out my window. I heard shouting early this morning, I think Jeremy isn't being allowed out either.
