Mum,

New London is brilliant. We saw The Prophet offices and the WWN headquarters yesterday--they're just off Diagon Alley, so we had lunch there. And then we went on a walking tour past all the really enormous houses they've cleaned up for wizards to live in and up to Buckingham. We didn't go in. I guess some of us'll get to do that later in the week if we don't want to go swimming or flying in Hyde Park instead.

Anywiz, the REALLY TOTALLY COMPLETELY DEAD BRILLIANT thing we got to do was last night when we got on this big boat and went up and down the Thames and had dinner and Owain Pritchard and Kirley Duke were there eating with us and we all got their autographs and they sort of jammed some and told jokes and were really, really awesome.

AND THEN. The boat took us to the Tower. We went in at Traitor's gate, not that we're traitors, of course, the captain said. She was really funny. AND THEN WE GOT TO GO ON A GHOST TOUR OF THE TOWER. Our guide was some old knight who got locked up there and died of enwee. That's what he said, anywiz. Something like that, anyway. But we got to meet Queen Anne. And Queen Jane, who got killed after she was only queen for nine days and some Muggle queen took her place. And loads of other ghosts were there. And some of them were jolly but others were really dead scary. And at midnight, they all came out onto the green and we could talk to them. They said they got really tired of having to live with Muggles around all the time for so long. The Muggles used to come by the thousands and walk all over the Tower and line up to see the jewels and the armour, but they couldn't see the really cool stuff, which we got to go in and look at.

Teddy Nott asked Queen Anne if she belonged to the Headless Hunt, and it was really a laugh the look she gave him. Sir Nicholas would've loved it: apparently, she thinks that's totally beneath her dignity or something.

Anywiz, I've got to go now because we're off to tour the Ministry and see some of our Aurors duel--the ones who're doing security for the trip, y'know, keeping Harry safe and all. I guess Aurors duel all the time to keep fit. I expect that'll be dead snitch. And then we've got lunch at the palace of Westminster. But you know all that 'cause it's on the list Professor Sinistra sent.

So, yeah. Gotta go.

Tell the twins that if they touch my stuff, they're totally dead.

That goes double for Ginny. Tell her that no matter what Wood said, she can't fly my Silver Arrow.
