alt_cedric: Portrait of Cedric in formal robes (formal)
You said not to worry about the robes for the wedding, that they would be all taken care of and all I would have to do was go for final adjustments and pick them up today. I know that I need to make a good impression at the wedding, but what in Merlin's name made you think they needed to be purchased rather than rented? I did not expect to have to make a trip to Gringott's to empty my account for robes that are far fancier than I, as just an unescorted guest, needed and I'm never going to be able to wear again! This is NOT "taken care of." I'm not squiring someone who I need to impress or woo, I'm just going to two acquaintances' wedding, even if it is high society.

I'm not home yet because they were waiting to complete the work until they had been paid for. So I'm waiting in the lobby. I'm losing the entire afternoon's revision time because this "quick" errand has been anything but.

I'll be leaving these at home when I go back to Hogwarts. You must make sure that Jenni keeps the littles and their sticky fingers out of my wardrobe. Maybe I can find another occasion to wear them or sell them to recoup some of this.

Thanks for the Nimbus Thunderhead 1. There have been hints in the Quidditch magazines over the last couple of months. Having a prototype of the newest top of the line broom is brilliant.

It really is the top of the line, most expensive, best broom in the game for what it does. It has the tightest turn radius, smartest acceleration and it’s the sturdiest they’ve ever made. The bludger protection charms are things of beauty. The strength and size of the head is wizard. I have no idea how Dad got ahold of it, it’s supposed to be out next month.

However, this all makes it the perfect Keeper’s broom. Even with my build as I’ve grown up and out, I’m still the Seeker on the house team. Which means I need a broom with graceful turns, stability, slenderness and flying above everything else high top speed.

I don’t want to pry but I know things have been tight since Shelley was born, you acquired the mudblood, the extension of the house, the improved floo connection and with Mum pregnant again. (Have you picked out names yet? Have the divinations come back yet on whether it’s a boy or girl yet?) The broom’s a thing of beauty, just gorgeous, but I have to ask for Jaspar, Shelley and incipient Diggory’s sakes, can you return it?

On top of whatever favours Dad called in to get it early, if you absolutely, positively, no question can afford that large a purchase, please floo and talk to me about it. Tonight if you can, I’ll be near the common room fire from after supper until after you normally go to bed, it’s an Astronomy night, so I'm up very late.
