"Uh" grunted Blaze as a slight approval of what Sally had said "Yea that'll be good." He stared at the page that had several recipies for sneazing potions. Nothing was happening for sure. Maybe Sally had just forgot, maybe she didn't care. "And check the notice board for hogsmede." He flipped the page over and started to read all about farting potions.

Quite romantic actually, although, you would never think that way of the forbidden forest! she laughed to herself. I won't mention he's not interested She finished her letter, folded it, sealed it and scrawled the address on the front.

(Are we doing this anymore? The plot i mean. I did pm you about it.)
