Private message to Penelope Clearwater
Well, that was one of the quietest Easter holiday fortnights I think we've ever had here at the Burrow. Ginny was gone to New London practically the entire time, Ron was off several times for CCF events. And the twins, inexplicably, spent most of the hols holed up in their room. And no explosions.
It's a pity we couldn't spend more time on the search for flats. I realise we're just trying to figure out what neighbourhood we want at this point but...it is discouraging, isn't it? I had no idea that a simple one bedroom could be so expensive. Never mind the two bedrooms that we want. I realise that we could economise more if we chose something like the last one, but really, what's the point of saving our Galleons with the hope of eventually hiring a muggleborn when we're forced to share a bath on the floor with someone in another flat?
Well, we still have time. With some further hunting, I'm sure we'll find an acceptable neighbourhood with more affordable rents.
