at Pansy's

alt_sally_anneI'm having a very good time at Gloss House. I've been learning to ride a horse, and we go swimming a lot -- Mrs Parkinson is busy with wedding plans and Mr Campbell is gone on business a lot so mostly we have it to ourselves.
The muggle chef cooks really well (nearly as good as an elf) and the food is SO good. Yesterday Hydra came for a visit and we went riding, I think Hydra really enjoyed that, but then it started raining. There's a box full of old games in the parlour, not just chess and gobstones but a bunch I'd never seen before and we played something called Cluedo where you're investigating a murder and you have to work out which of the other players did it and what spell they used, the pieces talk but they're a little like the mad chess pieces, they shout accusations dramatically and mine kept pretending to swoon. It's a silly game but fun, and Hydra won both times. (And it wasn't because her piece was more cooperative, the second game it was hers who'd committed the crime! you decide that randomly and you can win by accusing yourself, it's part of why I thought it was silly.)
Anyway it was a really nice afternoon. Hydra, I'm glad you could come.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
