Hallie had had enough. Neither her Mum nor Toby were giving her any proper answers in their letters, in fact Toby hadn't wrote back at all, which was beginning to worry Hallie. Had her Mother found out about Toby? Had Toby done another runner? All Hallie could think of was possible scenario's that only happened in a movie, but wasn't that her life? A sad, twisted, messed up movie?
On top of her worries about her Mother and brother there was the fact she would be getting married soon to none other than Theodore Rookwood, Hogwarts Headmaster. She hadn't spoken to him properly at all since he stormed out of the meeting, a part of her felt vile, almost like vermin. Was she really that bad of a person her future husband couldn't stand to be near her that long?
It was too much. Her emotions were getting the better of her, which was also affecting her work. She was slacking. Falling behind. Hallie needed to get up to Hogwarts, find out why the situation with the Coopers was and then have a word with her future husband, see if they could come to some sort of an agreement.
Before that, however, she needed to write to Toby, let him know she was on her way. It was the least she could do to get his attention.

I don't know if you received my last letter? Anyway I am coming up to Hogwarts tomorrow, which is scary seeing as I don't know what on earth is going on but I can't sit down here in Diagon Alley not knowing anything!
Meet me at ten o clock by the whomping willow. I don't know if you would have come across it yet but it's a huge, crazy tree. Just a word of advice - keep your distance from it, it's rather sensitive.

Lots of love
