Private message to Queenie

Astoria's told me about the rumours going 'round your sett, and no, of course he didn't ask me to marry him! By adult standards we've only been dating a very short while, and even though Lizzie got engaged while she was still at school I don't see myself taking that particular path. Besides that, as a council wizard he can't just up and get engaged on a whim.

You're too young to remember, but this isn't the first time that particular rumour's gotten around. Only the last time it happened, I was your age! (And no, he wasn't interested in me like that back then. So if that rumour is also going around, be sure to pay it no mind.)

So I heard it was Phillip Stretton who sent you that singing valentine? It was a bit out of tune, but still, a very sweet thought. He seems like a nice boy. Certainly someone worthy of your attentions.

Private message to Barty Crouch

I had difficulty sleeping last night, but not for want of fatigue and weariness.

Let me just say: yesterday was by far the most memorable and enjoyable Valentine's Day I have ever experienced. And there's no hyperbole in that. Thank you very much for spending it with me, and for the beautiful (intentional!) red roses.

If it's not too soon to ask, do you have a general idea of what your social calendar looks like during my spring hols? I already have friends and family making a bid on my time, but I would like to spend some of it with you in New London, if you are amenable (with the understanding that someone in your position may have to break plans at a moment's notice, of course). My girlfriends Elsie and Lizzie have been trying to convince me to have a party at Spencer House, as well, though in my opinion it wouldn't entirely be in good taste. I'm still in school, after all, and... well, Raz hasn't been gone even a year. I think they simply want to get a good look at the place, which can be accomplished just as easily by inviting them over for tea.

I hope this Sunday has treated you well. See you soon!
