The Headmistress did seem to intone that Bad Things would happen if anyone tried to niffle about with the goblet or the things they put into it, but that might've just been to keep people off the idea.
The more I think on it, the more I suspect Harry put someone else's name in. I'd ask directly, but he's been pretty quiet about things. I suppose it doesn't really matter, anyway. The goblet's made it's decision and there's no arguing about it. I'd like to get him in for tea and a chat, though, to see how he's taking it all.
And then Cedric! Well, after this week's duelling club (which is for newts only), he pulled me aside and asked very earnestly if I would be able to give him a "little preparation" for the first task, when the time comes. It was obvious he thought he might be crossing a line by asking for my help- he thinks I'll be meant to get Harry prepared. Which I am. But Cedric's my student, too, and the goblet did choose him. Bloody Erebus. I'll do what I can for the lad, but I'm not sure how much it can be.
I don't think you ever told me about your odd YPL mail, no. What was it? (I see I'm late in welcoming you to the world of odd mail, by the way)
The reason I think pink parchment is a student (there are a few letter-writers who use pink parchment, but I'm thinking of one in particular) is that she(?) seems to know about my daily goings-about around the castle. I mean, I've gotten a few random things from students here and there, especially around holidays and the like, but this one is definitely a regular writer by now.
But yeah, it sounds as if we might need to compare pink parchments.
It's so outrageous. I'm not ever that particularly handsome, I'm just very, very rich and utterly charming. (Don't you agree?)
I do believe that after this busy week, I could benefit from some extra time to admire your chest, as well as the rest of you. And I fear I like being teased about mysterious errands a bit too much, as well.
