I smile politely and let him sit, he doesn’t ask anything, he just watches me. Looking at how I am writing, angling my parchment instead of my hand. He doesn’t question what I am working on or why I have so many books scattered around me. I don’t even think he has an idea that I am researching the golden egg he too has.  What if he already figured it out? That can’t be right. He hasn't had it for 24 hours yet, that would be impossible. The next task is after the Christmas break and just the day before we have the Yule ball. An event where he is taking me to and I have no idea what to wear. Should I ask Ginny? I hate shopping though, and she would make me try on hundreds of dresses and shoes and hairstyles. That is just too exhausting, I want something simple and maybe shock everyone in some way. Show them that I am not an ugly duckling, but a beautiful swan.
