I'll be coming along to the Tea Appreciation group today. I've told Harry he ought to come along as well, if he's able.

You know the boxes that I gave to Hermione to experiment with? Well I started to have second thoughts about modifying them or using them for much, because considering that they came from Auntie Bella, it might not be such a clever idea to muck about with them, for a variety of reasons.

But then, last night, I came across something I forgot that I owned.

I was directing the elf - we were clearing out my wardrobe of all the robes that no longer fit - and I was coming across all sorts of random things, like old comics, exploding snap cards, and the like. Even found an old orange that was dried up to a hard stone. And then I found a box, almost exactly like the one Auntie Bella gave me and Harry this year. This one has a shape is a little more square, and the carvings on the lid are different, but I'm sure it was made by the same craftsman. It was given to me for Christmas when I was twelve, and Harry got one, as well. Obviously, we were both to dim back then to figure out that the boxes actually did something and weren't just for stashing odds and ends into.

So we don't just have two boxes, we have four. And two of them probably safer to use, because they didn't come from my Aunt - they came from someone else. Regulus.

Harry, I know I was non-committable on Hydra's invitation yesterday, mostly because I still don't much fancy the idea of having tea in some ramshackle Camden shop with a relation I scarcely know, but see here, I've had second thoughts. I think we ought to go.

Do you think you can get leave from Buckingham? And bring Granger? I have something else to give to her, but if you don't think you should bring her then I suppose I'll just give it to you to give to her.

Sometimes I really don't understand Hydra. Who goes to a ramshackle shop in Camden to appreciate tea, of all things.

I mean, I know what this is really about. At least I think I do. Auntie Bellatrix isn't the warmest mother in the world, and Hydra's latching on to our cousin, instead. Though if she really wants to be mothered she ought to get in touch with mine - she loves to take Hydra shopping and things. I suppose that Hydra might secretly want to hack off Auntie Bella a bit, though, and going 'round to visit cousin Dora is a better way to accomplish that.

It's funny, though, because after listening to Blaise and Daphs talk about their plans to go to the Owlery Room, I was thinking that you and I should really go to one of those posh high teas, too. Not the Owlery Room, but maybe Katyenka, in Russell Square Gardens. Mother loves it, so I'm sure that you would, too. I'd much rather do that tomorrow afternoon, just the two of us.

I'm just really not comfortable with the idea of visiting my cousin with so many other people there. I don't know her well at all, and the very idea of it is just too strange.

Just a reminder to all the quidditchers I got in touch with: we're meeting at 09:00 at Malfoy Manor tomorrow morning for our first Quidditch Club meeting. Bring your gear and your brooms - after Harry goes through the agenda we'll have a scrimmage and then, just after 13:00, we'll break for a light luncheon.

If anyone can make it to New London on Friday afternoon, we'll be having our first meeting of the Junior Society for the Improvement of New London. It'll be a picnic lunch on Hampstead Heath, and then we'll walk around the Heath and pick up rubbish and mend loose fence posts. Let Harry know if you can make it, and which sandwich you would prefer: cheese and cress, cold chicken, or potted shrimps.

On Saturday afternoon the Culinary Appreciation Club will be meeting to try out a new Burmese restaurant that's just opened near Hyde Park. Let Harry know if you're interested - he'll need to know by Thursday to make the reservation. Also, the restaurant owner wanted to be sure that everyone is well aware that Burmese food is on the spicy side and that no, it's not "just like curry."

On Sunday afternoon the Avid Art-Goers are catching a matinee performance of Hex and Dodge! at the Lyceum. The theatre manager can only reserve eight seats, so let Harry known straight away if you would like to attend and Daphs wil he will be sure to add you to the list.

Let's see... I know there will be some other events going on next week, too, but I'll be on the YPL trip and won't be able to attend. But yeah, the Investigators of Ghostly Phenomenon might hold a seance at 50 Berkeley Street, and the History Club will be checking out the new Protectorate Collection (if not next week then likely the week after). Just let Harry know what you're interested in and he'll take care of the rest.
