Best Laid Plans

Harp,

I told my sister I was just going to go home to London for the holiday. She thinks I'm already on the train.

I've got the first room at the top of the stairs at the Three Broomsticks. So how soon do you think you can sneak out? I've been dying to get to explore Hogsmeade with you without some half-dead old crone leaning over our shoulders.

Hiss,

Harry

Dear Harry,

I need to use a fake name if I meet her, don't I? Because of he howler. Sorry about that. I guess.



If I ever run into her, I can be Effie Fogg.



I can definitely sneak out, probably today if you want. It should be really easy while Noah's at the hospital. Do you want to meet at the Three Broomsticks or somewhere else?

Rawr,

HHH

Harp,

It won't be an issue because you're never going to meet my sister, right? You said you never wanted to, and I keep kind of hoping that no one in the world will have to meet my sister.

If you do have to meet her, I might end up introducing you as Miss Frogg if you're not careful.

Tomorrow might work better--we can start early and make a day of it? Say, meet me at that big oak tree on the north side of the park?

Miss you already.

Hiss!
Harry

There's actually something of a ring to Effie Frogg, but if you do that I may be forced to act as though I am slightly deaf and keep calling you Pimplenelle.



I'll see you tomorrow morning. How early do you want to meet? I miss you too — sooner is better.

Rawr,

HHH

Harp,

Sooner is better, eh? Be careful who you say that to. I'm used to getting up early for Quidditch practice.

Sunrise?

Hiss!

Sunrise sounds perfect, actually. It will make it easier to get out if everyone is still in bed. Of course, you have to have be back before midnight or I might turn into a pumpkin.

Rawr,

HHH
