Private Message to Shivani Johns

I hope you had a good time Sunday night. Sorry I couldn't go with, but I really couldn't pass up the opportunity to serve protection for Our Lord's festivities. And that turned out to be rather an event: I spent the rest of the night assisting Mr Truncheon and Mr Crouch in the interrogation dungeons. Catchlove got to come along as well, but it was only the two of us they asked.

I can't say much about it, of course, but do you remember last year when there was that awful fire in South London on Halloween? Well. Some of the same group were caught trying something again. It involved really ancient arcane magic, and that's one of Mr Crouch's specialties. I rather think I'd like to specialise in that direction, myself. I don't have to decide what my concentrations will be until summer, of course, but I've always loved Runes, and obviously there's so much more to the field of ancient magics than we were allowed to study at Hogwarts.

At any rate, it was a perfectly fascinating night! And thank goodness we had yesterday for a holiday from lessons.

So, anyway. Did you really do the ghost tour? I heard the Tower ghosts weren't participating this year, so where did they take you? And what pub did it end up in this time? (I'm sure you only had the one pint.)

I have tomorrow evening off if you wanted to do something. The festival's on in Green Park through next weekend, and I hear there are some surprise acts turning up. Singh says the Dead Ringers turned up to do a set while she was there last night. She also says the food stalls are surprisingly good: there was even a Freshers' Feast set up, though she says you have to know where to look for it--and get there before they run out of everything.

Oh. I have to run. Our afternoon lecture is about to begin. Let me know about tomorrow.
