Violet was stumbling up the stairs to the Owlery, feeling that she ought to write home. She used to write all the time. Now, she hardly wrote at all. I should let Aunt Pearl know that Angus is okay. Maybe I should ask about Antoinette. Mum said she's going to Beauxbatons. I hope she's alright. And I'd better owl mum, she's probably worried sick. Maybe I should owl Grandfather, too, he'll be wanting TriWizard gossip, I suppose, although he probably gets official word, being Minister of Magic and all.... Lost in her thoughts, she almost didn't notice the younger girl writing a letter. "Oh!" Violet exclaimed, surprised. "Hello! I almost didn't see you there," she said, embarassed.
