…Promise?

...Promise.

…Me too. …Right. It’ll be over before we know it.

...Right. And then you'll never be able to get rid of me.

Yeah. …The first month? I dunno I figure it can’t get any harder then the beginning.

....I hope not. ...Only 11 more to go, right?

…I’m sure there are just…I gotta have magic. Can’t really make potions without it. We made it through the hardest part, right?

...I know. Too bad muggles haven't figured that one out, yet. We did?

…I miss you too. I’m glad you’re not getting too cozy in your rad new muggle life.

.....'Course I'm not, not without you. Too bad there aren't any really fascinating muggle plants.

Good, I’m glad. Welcome.

...I miss seeing you whenever I want.

I’m kinda glad. If it was too good I might never get you back. Though those people are idiots for thinking that. Don’t let ‘em get you down, love.

Ha! It'd be a lot harder for you to get rid of me than that. Thanks, love. I won't.

Okay. ….So you’re liking it then?

Oh yeah, it's brilliant! Well - ...a lot of the people at work think I'm weird, I think, 'cause I probably get a bit too excited about things that aren't really supposed to be exciting...

…Yeah they do. It’s very impressive.

It is, isn't it? You've got to come to the bookshop and see how the do all the printing, it's incredible.

…Thanks love. ….Huh. Alright. ….Muggles sure like their knobs.

...Welcome. ...Ha! I guess so - they work pretty well, at least.

….Well it would have been if it had worked. ….Thanks.

...No, it's still sweet. ...Welcome. It's really simple. See this knob? You turn it all the way, and then the gas will come on, then you turn it back to whatever setting you want and the fire will start. And - that's it really. You can turn it to adjust the heat however you like.

Oh, Daisy. I was….I was going to cook you breakfast but-

Wha - ? Oh - ha! That's sweet. I can show you how to work it.

....Merlin's beard.

....Tilden? ...Oh - there you are. What are you doing, love?

….It’s a brilliant idea. You’re gonna write a wonderful book with your name on the cover.

....I love you.

I know. I’m gonna miss you showing up at the greenhouse.

....Why did I think this was a good idea?

Alright. Daisy, I never forget about ya, time yeah, but never you.

Oh I.....good. ....I'm gonna miss you. I mean I know I'll still see you but - I'm still gonna miss you.

Welcome. Course. Sounds good. So no magic at all?

Good. Nope, none. So that means you're not allowed to do magic while you're here, either. And...I won't be able to come so you. So if ya do forget about me for a couple weeks at least try to take care of yourself, yeah?
