Hey, kid. It's been good to see that you and Draco are mating around again. I could sense that there was some tension there for a few weeks, but I was aiming not to interfere so long as it was just chilliness and not outright hostility. Glad to see that you appear to have things sorted.

Another thing- maybe we could have another look at that egg this week? Overheard some interesting talk between Professors Grubbly-Plank and Brutka. They were debating whether or not the noise that came out of the egg was a Mermish language, and if so, which dialect. Now, it never did occur to me that the noise might be a language, and I've never heard any Mermish, at that. But it gives us something to go on, doesn't it?

How are you coming along with, ah, other things?

Yeah. The egg. I tried all sorts of things, and none of them really seemed to work. So it's been in my trunk. It needs looking at.

Diggory's sorted it out. Smith was gloating about it the other day.

How could they tell with the screaming? Do Mer people really scream like that?

And yeah. With the other things. I was wondering if you could set up a place I could practise. With animals or something. And also if we could talk about what I could do after so, you know, they won't hurt so much when I'm finished.

If Diggory's sorted it out then I would reckon that figuring out a way to translate the Mermish is key. And as for screaming- I doubt very much that it sounds like that to Mer-folk. And who knows what we sound like to them, eh? Babbling idiots, could be.

I'll figure out a way to ask Grubbly-Plank if she has any suggestions, both on the animals and how to help them after. Leave it to me.
