Terry, you are so lovely!

[alt_hermione]

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

Terry, I just wanted to write you a real thank-you note, because Mum always told me that if people did nice things for me I should write them a formal thank-you. In the camps we couldn't but of course it occurred to me that now I can!! So thank you very much Terry for setting up that thing you set up for me, because it's ever so lovely. And I sent the house-elves a note too, Harry gave me some paper to do it.

This has been such a lovely birthday!

I had hoped so much I could join you for tea. But Master has been keeping a sharp eye on me today. Dunno why. Anyway, I did see how the house elves had set it up when I checked the classroom this morning, early, and I'm glad you liked it!

Happy birthday, Hermione! I wish I could give you more. Well, you know why I can't. But the house elves said that we can keep the tea things in our classroom, and that they promise to always have hot tea in the tea pot when either one of studies there. But it's all for you, of course.

Of course I liked it Terry, how could I not like it?!

Anyhow, it isn't as though I'm very good at remembering your birthday either. And honestly, that's a really big gift! Don't people usually just give each other little things?

Well, you and me, we don't exactly follow normal rules, do we? For mudblo-- sorry, I know Fred and George don't like me using that word. For people like--like us.

I can't give you things. I'd like to, you know, since you're my best friend. But arranging for the tea, that's like giving you a--an experience. Or a memory, see?

Jack--he was the bloke who taught me Muggle physics this summer, remember?--he told me that a person might have nothing. But if he has a good memory, nobody can take that away.

Anyway, that's what I tried to do. Give you a good memory.

That's so sweet Terry!

Happy Birthday, Hermione!

We've got some chocolate frogs with your name on them, next time we see you.

Chocolate frogs? How lovely! It seems like I haven't had any chocolate in an age, Harry made himself sick on it a few weeks back and won't have it anymore, so I don't get any either. Thank you!!
