Hello!

It's been so long since I've talked to all of you.

I hope all of you are doing well.

I'm doing....WONDERFUL!!

We're no longer in Gorgaryle.   We left last week.

I'm free now!   And I can use the internet.

What happened was the Cawoods found a writing job for my dad.    With that he was able to get a visa.   The difficult thing is they had to use magic to make it look like we've been in London for the last few months.   It would be hard to get a visa if the government thought we had been here as illegal aliens.  

The other WONDERFUL thing is that Julia is back with us.   I'm happy because I like having my sister near me.   I'm also happy because I didn't like her living with Malcolm.   I know that's selfish and petty.   Sorry.   

Julia said nothing ever happened between them.  They're just friends.   I suppose I believe her.  She says it doesn't matter though because he's too old for me. 

He's not that much older than me.   I'm sixteen now.    He's eighteen.

Valentine's Day is in a few days.   I'm counting on Malcolm to get me a very romantic gift.

I'm joking.  

I still have Harry in my life.   I'll probably buy him some special bird treats.  

Oh!   I forgot to tell you guys where we're living.  

We're back in Kiama.   My dad's job is freelance so we could go wherever we wanted.    I sort of wish we had stayed in Sydney so we could be near Malcolm.   It doesn't matter that much though.  He can apparate and visit us.  Hopefully, he'll visit a lot. 

Julia's pretty good at the whole apparating thing now too.  

Anyway, that's all I'm going to say for now.

I hope all of you are alive and well.
