Leon,

It has been too long since your last visit; now that you are in town I expect you much more frequently. Hope the shop is working out as you'd hoped?

The baby is still as loud as ever. Have I told you yet that I do not like fatherhood quite so much as I thought I might? And Chastity is no help; all she wants to talk about it the baby.

I have a confession for you, dear friend. I find myself suddenly entangled in an extramarital affair. Do you think it a horrible omen for my marriage with poor Chastity?

T.

Thom,

I'm sorry, did you say extramarital affair? Are you taking a page out of my book? Clearly I'm not married, but I don't mind a married woman every now and then... Good for you mate! I'd ask the juicy details, but that would be rude... so spill!

Shop is fine, working on getting everything built in, lots of shelving, but then I can stock everything and get the place up and running.

Drinks soon mate,

Leon

L,

Mrs. Ursula Black nÚe Flint. Remember her from school? Years below us, Slytherin, pretty. Married the potions professor and now he runs the place. That sounds like a horrible schoolboy fantasy, doesn't it? Having an affair with the Headmaster's wife? Anyway, she's married (obv) and pregnant. I am certainly a terrible person.

Not that I much care about her being pregnant (convenient I suppose since no awkward questions will arise), it's Chastity I'm thinking of. I'm so terribly fond of her, and of course there's the child. I do so despise the child. I am certain I shall feel differently when she stops being so obnoxiously young, but for now I can hardly stand to be home, which does not exactly help my marriage I'm afraid.

Drinks indeed. Let me know if you need any help with the setting up.
