Asaiah,
We won! We won! We actually won! It was quite a short match, but we totally beat Hufflepuff. Thank you for listening to me whine for so long, I finally get to come to you with better news. Leda was hit
twice and she still managed to grab it before the Hufflepuff seeker. She's really talented. Who needs Lestat, anyway? I also managed to hit the Hufflepuff seeker once, and once by accident I hit their keeper. I feel like our chasers need some work, but besides that I'm really proud of our team. I bet the Hufflepuff captain can't say the same. One of their beaters hit
himself only a few moments before Leda got the snitch. I'm never going to forget that, or let the Hufflepuffs forget that for that matter.
You should try out for the Macaws, they would be stupid not to take you. If there's a spot open by the time I graduate I might join you there. Or I might join the Harpies or something. Assuming any team will take me. I'm not sure if I'm good enough to go pro, but right now I feel confident enough to try. Strange how winning makes you feel invincible, even if it was only once and only for a third place.
Thanks for not giving me advice. It's really utterly over, and while it makes me sad, a part of me thinks it was destined to end like this. I hate it, but I'm not sure what I can do about it. I won't pretend I understand your whole deal, but it's interesting that the person you're trying to help is a student here. Somehow, I hadn't thought of that. I hope she appreciates what you're doing for her, even if I don't really know what that is. Is she your girlfriend? And don't worry, I'm not dropping out. I've stuck around this long, I want a diploma now for my trouble. Glad I didn't make anything worse.
If you're ever in New Zealand when we have a Brightstone weekend, maybe we can meet up and chat? You're a good listener, even in letters. I guess that makes you a good reader. Anyway, do you know who you're going to vote for? I haven't really been following it, I'll be too young anyway. Why are you traveling to Romania? Let me guess, more mysteries? I don't mind, it's kind of funny to speculate on what you might be doing.
