Tracey Davis: 8 October, 1994
Dear Rosa,
Hello! I've been very busy this past month. I went to the Quidditch World Cup, for starters. Well, actually, my birthday party happened. Oh, it was wonderful. Lisa was there. So were Uncle Louis and Aunt Loraine. They brought Bianca, of course. She almost ruined my party.
Bianca's dog had puppies. And since Bianca couldn't bear to part with them, she was allowed to bring them. First they started ripping up my presents, then Bianca chased them away - right into the food table. So the table was turned over by the puppies, who in a fit of seeming possession, all grabbed some of the table clothe and pulled it off. The food went everywhere, mostly into the little beasts' stomachs. But Uncle Louis did a spell and the table and most of the plates and cups were put to rights. It didn't take long for Mum to prepare more food, thank goodness.
Aunt Loraine got me some silver scales for Potions, and these lovely dress robes. Bianca got me a toy Kneazle.
And Uncle Louis...he got me something quite odd. It's a crescent-shaped necklace, black, with a fine silver chain. There are these lovely blue stones around the crescent, which Louis calls 'moon stones.' They're supposed to glow during the full moon. He says it's quite a rare find. He told me, in confidence, that it's bewitched to glow when the wearer is in danger, and that if anyone else tries to wear it, it'll choke them. Imagine putting on a necklace and then being choked by it! I wonder how it knows it's not you it's choking?
And then, of course, there was the Quidditch World Cup. I shall tell you more about that later, though. I really must go to bed. Write back soon.
Best wishes,
