Remembering

Today would have been my mum's 39th birthday.

Since she died, I've usually not done lessons on this day, but spent it with my dad instead, making him a special tea, with the seedcake he likes best. But while I'm at Hogwarts, that's impossible, of course. But Mrs Weasley said she'd go over this afternoon to bring my dad some seedcake for me, and I sent him a letter to arrive today, that I hope will cheer him, even if I can't be there.

Ways I am like my mother:

I have her hair, and her eyes, dad says.
On the other hand, I also have her fingernails. They tend to break easily. And I bite them, like she did.
I'm a Ravenclaw like her--well, like both my parents, really.
I like lots of the same sorts of books. Angela Whizwart with her Shining Silver Wand series, the Chessy-Casey books, and the Flying Carpet children, although I still don't think any of them are as good as the Tolkien books. Dad said she never read them, and that makes me sad. I think she would have loved them.

I miss her.

I'm starting to forget her a little.

Luna, dear, I had a lovely afternoon with your father. Xeno is well, and sends his love. He was particularly touched by the letter you sent him, which he read aloud to me as we had tea. He misses you, of course--particularly today. But he is busy with the paper as usual and quite excited by some reports he says he recently received about some rather exotic beasties that have been discovered in Cornwall. I couldn't quite follow everything he was saying, as he got quite excited so that his words all but tumbled over one another, but he says he'll be sending you a letter about it soon.

Thank you for the package you sent. I should have more wool to send to you and Ginny shortly. You seem to have been quite busy with your needles--I hope you haven't been skimping your revising too much from all your knitting!

Arthur and I both send you our love.
