Private message to Penelope Clearwater

I'm sorry that Ron has a mouth big enough that a Hungarian Horntail can hide inside.

It was wonderful, the afternoon was wonderful, and I regret nothing. I only hope your parents don't notice Ron's entry. Or if they do, that they aren't too angry.

Write to let me know you're all right.

I'm fine. You know Dad hardly ever reads the journals.

But, honestly, Perce. 'Mum, I can explain?' That's the best you could come up with?

I'm sorry. It was lame, I know.

It's just...well, with Mum, when she goes on a tear, somehow I'm five again and all my finesse goes out the window.

I'm at Bill's tonight. I think I'll give Dad a day or two to calm her down.

Anyway, we're both of age. And in a couple more months we'll have our own flat, as well.

But your brother might not survive that long.
