XXIX.
Johns. Shopping. Tomorrow. Half-ten. Yes?
Papa says we can try on anything we like, and the designers will consider it an endorsement if we select something of theirs to wear for the DoP presentation, so they'll let us have whatever we choose at cost. The Prophet will be there, of course, and Witch Weekly will want to cover it, so they'll get loads of free publicity. Anywiz, Papa says they've all agreed to do a private trunk show for us tomorrow morning. Just come straight to Harrods and the doorman will know to show you up. Mama wants to take us for lunch afterwards.
I had another fitting for my coming out robes today, and they're going to be perfect. The beading's not finished yet, and the sleeves weren't quite right, but the cut and drape are just as I hoped--and in candlelight? the effect is going to be spellbinding. Patil's mother knows her craft and no mistake.
I'll see you tomorrow, then.

I'm really glad you'll be on the YPL trip, though. Do you know whether Bobolis and Dames plan to continue holding Ravenclaw Corner next year? And your brother? Only I heard Cox saying on the train something about whether to include Clearwater, as she's a Prefect and she'll be in sixth, and I wasn't sure that was strictly quidditch, so it's got me to wondering who'll be really in charge, now you'll be at MLE. It's going to be weird, no matter if they let Clearwater join or no.

Well, it's Orion's look-out if he lets Cox take decisions like that. But, of course, Ravenclaw Corner will go on: it's been ours as long as anyone can remember.
I wouldn't worry about it if I were you; if they let Clearwater in, she'll make a pest of herself the first afternoon and they'll send her packing again. Simple as that.
