I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good: Private message to Ron

Thanks again for the picture card. I really like it.

Pansy said her real gift to me will be here in a few days and in the meantime the other Tea of the Strange girls gave me a hamper of food so even though the cake was in the Slytherin common room maybe we can get together tomorrow or Thursday? (No jam, though! They figured I'd have plenty. Ha.)

You've never had a hamper for your birthday?

Cheese would be really nice. The really BIG FANCY ones sometimes have cheese. And fresh fruit. I don't know why Professor Slughorn likes candied pineapple so much when the fresh kind is so nice. (I've only had it a few times, but it's really nice.)

I don't know if I've even had the candied kind. Or wait. Was it pineapple in that salad at the Quidditch World Cup? Or was that something else?

Um...

I don't remember any of the food from the QWC. I do remember the meal was really fancy. What color was the fruit? Pineapple's yellow once you cut it. There's actually a special charm for preparing it -- it's got this spiny skin that almost looks like a reptile. And there's a core, too, that you can't eat. The charm takes the skin off and cuts it into rings.

And it's really juicy and sweet but it also has a really unusual flavour.

Yeah. I'm not sure what it was, either.

Mostly I remember not being able to sort all the forks.


And then singing stuff with Arista.

[alt_sally_anne]

I remember it just kept coming and coming and coming.

And talking with you through the journals about the forks and all that.

And then trying to keep people from dying.




I hope we have a really boring summer holiday this year. No one getting sick or blown up or ANYTHING.

You can say that again.
