On a whim Presley stirred her potion once clockwise and once counterclockwise. The color shifted until it looked exactly like Gwen's potion. "We did it," she smiled at Gwen. They'd done the potion without teacher supervision! Well, Lafay was in the room, but Presley didn't think she was paying much attention to the two of them, so it really was without teacher supervision.
Herjenmie swooped into the lab, ruffling his mighty feathers after having squeezed past students in the corridors. "Hoot!" he called proudly, landing on a counter with the letter and package still tied to his legs. Blinking a few times, he waited for the recipient of the mail to get her things.

Dear Presley,
Cheer up child!!!! Don't think I don't know that you're getting gloomy just because you're at Hogwarts. Trust me, I know everything. I'm sending you a package of sweets because nothing says "I don't know what else to do" like chocolate. I love you TONS girlie! I'm really sorry to hear about your friends. Be sure to let them know that if visits to thier places don't work out because of the circumstances, they're of course welcome to stay at our place any time. My words of advice...hmmm. Let the death go, but hold on to the memories. Good? I thought it sounded pretty profound myself. Right now at work we're, well not really working. We're supposed to be livening up the office, so we've gone ahead with plans for a fountain, and fish and stuff. Speaking of that, when you go shopping for things for a fountain, what goes on the list? You know I'm awful at list-making. Some of the people there...some are great and fantastic. Some are a little bit eccentric and go on about a fish they saw that looked like a cow, or turning the waiting room into one big fountain with levitating furniture...well, you can see how easily that would turn into a disaster. I wish you would write to me more often. Until January, I got a letter a week, now it feels more like twice a month, and I miss hearing about your day-to-day adventures! Well, Smile like you're proud to be a Black!
Lots of Love,
Leo

Package: A ten-ten-five inch cardboard box stuffed full of chocolate and other sweets.
