Missed Connections
About Last Month I'm sorry, and saying it here because we both know I wouldn't be able to say it in person. I know you read this magazine and am hoping you see this. I want a fresh start. You know how to reach me. "Bowtruckle" I was sitting behind you on the train from London to Hogsmeade recently. You worked on the same Daily Prophet crossword puzzle the entire trip. I can't help but wonder whether there was something more on your mind to distract you and would have loved to have spoken, but could not find the words for an introduction. You struggled for some time on a ten letter word for a small tree spirit; the correct answer was "bowtruckle." The Anonymous Admirer Flowers were delivered this past Thursday from an admirer, though I am certain the florist misspelled your name as I have tried to write and the letters return unread. I would very much like to know the name of my admirer; perhaps you might send gardenias, this time?	Fire When We Locked Eyes I saw you across the crowd at the protest outside the House of Lytton last week. You had golden hair and a green dress. Our eyes locked and I started your way to introduce myself, but was deterred by the impromptu blaze between us. By the time the fire had been extinguished, you had vanished. I cannot continue on without at least knowing your name. I shall attend the Ministry's open house this week wearing a green vest; please know my interest there is not political but only the hope of meeting you once more. Reckless Driver Carriage on Pendergast Court Friday afternoon nearly killed myself and my young daughter as we walked home from Asphodel Cemetery. Blue sides, white trim, and an exceptionally rude (or potentially blind!) driver. Whoever was in that carriage: you shall see yourself on the receiving end of a lawsuit should our paths cross again! Chastise your coachman and take better care at what speed you cut corners in such well traveled streets!	Violinist You play the violin in an upstairs room on Paracelus Path, or one of the neighboring streets in N. Bartonburg. With the slight change in the weather I have started to hear you through an open window. I am seeking to learn the instrument — perhaps you would offer lessons for a small fee? I have my own violin, though it is secondhand and may be in need of some maintenance. The Woman Who Hates Veela To the young wife overheard speaking quite disparagingly of Veela and HalfBreeds in the Painted Lady: I am a woman of similar age, position, and ideals and believe we have the potential to be the best of friends. I wanted so very much to introduce myself but could not find a reasonable way to interrupt your conversation to do so, and unfortunately was whisked away by a companion a mere moment after you arrived. I shall make every effort to visit the tea shop this coming week and shall sit in the corner table by the window; please come and see what else we might have in common.
