Dearest Jamie,

I gave you a day before bothering you again. It seemed like an eternity, haha. Drama King coming up, better look out.

I'm still looking into when I can come by. I may be able to see you during your next Hogsmeade break, if that would work for you? I'll be meeting up with my siblings for lunch but maybe we could do dinner.

Okay, let me rephrase. Will you have dinner with me?

I hope school starting up again doesn't get too crazy for you. You seem to be pretty on top of things academically, though. I don't worry too much about it. I mean, I won't now. I guess I've never known you that well while you're in classes... maybe you'll turn into a raging psychopath.

Write soon, but don't worry. I'm patient. Sort of.

You will never, ever bother me by writing! Also, will I have to add Drama King to the list of your many titles? I would have to start a list to do that, but it would be a funny list! Sir William Peter Windsor, lord of...what was it? I don't know, but it would be funny to add 'Drama King' to the end of that.

I don't have any plans for Hogsmeade weekend, so that works wonderfully. I hope you have a nice lunch with your siblings! I should probably speak with Susan sometime, about...I don't know. Is it polite to inform someone when you start kissing their older brother?

Answered above, but I will have dinner with you. And any other meal you want.

I am definitely on top of things. Also, now that I've decided I want to become a Quidditch player, classes don't feel as scary. I still want to do well, of course, but now if I get an E instead of an O it's not like I'll feel like the world is ending. Trust me, I won't become a psychopath. It's like, my one goal in life.

I still need to teach you about patience, don't I? Oh well, this won't be your first lesson.

Dear Jamie,

I don't even want to list my titles right now. Just track down one of our older letters and add it on! Lord, Sir, Drama King, etc. We should just keep adding things until it's absurdly long and crazy.

Great! Dinner it is. I'll be talking to Susan alone before the others... do you, would you mind if I just told her? I mean, it might be polite of you to say something but I don't think it's really necessary. I think I can handle.

Sweet. I look forward to all those meals and stuff.

That's great! My grades were pretty fair, but I wouldn't say incredible. Okay, great. We'll avoid the psychopath thing. I'll avoid it too.

Patience lessons sound not fun... ): What will you do to teach me other than withholding letters?

There wouldn’t be much ‘tracking down’ involved. I may or may not have saved all of the letters that you sent me…In a totally unweird way. But yes, we can keep adding titles. Like ‘loser of Chubby Bunny’. That’s a good title?

I don’t mind if you tell her. I should probably talk to her after that at some point, of course, but it’s probably better coming from you than from me.

I’m sure you got good enough grades where it counted. They don’t just let any old chump become a Cursebreaker. And even if you don’t have that, there’s always the whole ‘monarch-in-training’. But since you’re not that high up in the line of succession, maybe that shouldn’t be your fallback. Unless you plan on committing a string of murders. But since you said that you’re not going to be a psychopath, I’m not worried.

I’m still working on what, exactly, I can do…But speaking of patience, can you come to the castle sometime soon? I don’t know if I can wait until Hogsmeade weekend to see you.
