Alright? I heard about the Notts visit to Buckingham. Can't believe that you passed up the chance to Cruciate Teds, but I suppose it sends a better message that you resisted. Plus, how humiliating for him to get it in front of everyone from his own father, yeah? I would know.
Anyway, I've been meaning to speak with you about how things are going with Katie Bell. It's obvious to everyone that she's not keen on being one of the challengers, and knowing you, you're probably suffering massive guilt and blaming yourself for her having been chosen to begin with.
What I'm really wondering, though, is - do you care about her? I don't mean deep friendship, either, but real caring, the kind where you can actually see all the seriously flawed and even annoying things about her, and still think she's pretty brilliant. I mean, do you love her? Or something close to that? Because I need to know before I tell you about the idea I've had.
I was talking to Hermione about it, earlier. I couldn't get her to say whether it was a good or a bad idea, and then we ended up talking about something else and I don't know, she might be upset, or something. I'm not sure. Does she seem fine?
