Daphne,

It's been a while since we've had a chat, and now that the play is over, I suppose neither of us have the time as we approach end of term exams. Anyway I just wanted to share somethings with you.

First, Draco Malfoy sent me a PM a couple days ago. Which wouldn't normally be a big deal that he would PM anyone except that its me we are talking about. It seems he went out of his way to let me know about a contest submission in Purest Sparkle this week. He even wished me luck by saying hoped that I would win something out of it. It just seemed odd. But I am grateful that he told me. He said that he had heard you say I was interested in fashion. He also said that you told him that I was "cool". That was nice of you to say.

After that I tried to get Luna, to lend me her copy of the periodical, but I haven't heard from here. I am not sure if she is cross with me or not. I haven't said anything out of the way to her, and this was important to me. So I have spent the past couple of days trying to hunt down a copy of the announcement so that I could send in a submission. Finally, Julianna Bradley, one of my dorm mates had one. So, I would like you to check over my submission for me and tell me what you think. I am asked to send in a picture and a short essay on how a makeover would improve my summer holidays. Please tell me what you think.

Summer Contest Submission

How a makeover would improve my summer holidays.

My name is Ginny W. (Weasley). A make over for the summer would mean so much to me. As the only girl, and the youngest of seven children, my parents can hardly afford the designers that I am interested in. This doesn't bother me usually as we are in school most of the year and have to wear uniforms, but during the summer and special occasions, it would be nice to have something in season sometimes.

Oftentimes, if I want to wear something fashionable, I try to transfigure my robes to copy something currently in season. I love to keep up with fashion trends, and to have a couple new robes and the makeover would make me feel as if I were floating on cloud nine. It would be the highlight of my summer, and make it so much better.

Thank you for your consideration.

Ginny W.
