Hmm. Ministry worker. What department? Was she from a good family? Was she well-mannered? So many questions she'd have to ask Manolo in her next letter.

"What about you?" she nidged the eleven year old playfully.
"Any cute boys caught your eye yet?" Though she was almost twelve. Presley would have to get her a gift next Hogsmeade weekend.
