Charlie,

I’ve got another date tonight. And, this time, it’s not one of the witches Ginny has been insisting on setting me up with on blind dates. It’s actually a bloke I met in the Hog’s Head last weekend. I’d noticed him eyeing me from across the pub all evening, but people like to keep to themselves in that place and I figured it was just that he recognized me from the war. The Great Snake Slayer from the Battle of Hogwarts can’t go anywhere in this part of the country without getting recognized, especially not Aberforth Dumbledore’s place.

As it turns out, he had recognized me… but he’d also been watching me because he thought I was hot. Go figure. Some people have no taste.

So we got to talking and he seems like a pretty interesting guy. Before I knew it, the pub was closing. I wasn’t going to invite him back to mine, but he suggested going to his place. I told him I wanted a proper date before we fucked. He laughed in agreement and we set a date.

Except… with every minute that passes, I get closer to the date and further from you.

Neville
