potterstinks: No subject.

Since today is my birthday, I've been going through the post to answer the downpour of letters I tend to get each year. Nott, for some reason, felt it was necessary to send me soap shaped like boring flowers that he got from a girl. Nott is incredibly strange. He always has quite an excess of gifts from girls, and I'm not quite sure why, as he's always doing something strange to alter his appearance. I've heard that people go through phases, but most of us don't grow beards.

Sally-Anne Perks, on the other hand, sent me a rather nice dressing gown, but she also decided to include several jars of lip balm as though this was quite a funny thing to do.

I'll likely get a cramp in my hand from replying to these soon. Fortunately, next year I shall have a stamp with my signature on it. Of course, I do intend on going out this evening, so I suppose I shall have a break. I've also got to pack for France tomorrow, so it will take me at least ten minutes to get the house-elves on that.
