I'm not at all surprised that Gryffindor caught the snitch. I'm excited for Ravenclaw to play, it should be fairly exciting, but probably not as much as a tie.

I wrote home a while ago to say that I'll be staying for the winter break. I got a letter back and my Father didn't mind too much since we celebrate Christmas in Januray because he's Orthodox. I'd be here anyways and we'd just spend December 25th at the cinema. I'll have to write to my Uncle Logan and let him know. I hope he doesn't ask if I'm staying because of some boy like my Father did. I should just tell them it's some dashing seventh year if they keep asking. Does anyone else have a nosy family that just assumes it's because you like someone that you don't want to go home?

Yes, I understand that feeling. Mama always tells me that I must find pretty wife at school, but I am not interested in wife yet! I am young man who wants to be free to be man! But I also think they know that having to take trains and bus back to small Romanian village has much to do with not wanting to go home. Sometimes I have to hitch ride with strangers. It would be much easier to fly, but alas.

But on other note, you are Orthodox, too? Perhaps we can find others who are also this, and celebrate traditional Orthodox Christmas? It would be just like home, only at school! I am Hufflepuff, so I'm sure I can slip to kitchens and convince house elves to make pagach!

Orthodox what?

Also, be wary of your ambiguious sentence structure. I thoguht for a moment your father had stayed because of a boy.

I will be staying over the holiday as well, but my father is well aware of why. I wasn't expecting much of anyone to be here. Most people jump at the chance to see their families after so long, don't they?
