I'd be more inclined to agree with you if I knew what you were talking about.

If you mean my delay in sending your Valentine's Day gift, that is entirely Edmund's doing. He apparently decided that it would be fun to trick a good number of the first years, Mudblood and not, into turning themselves red and pink for the holiday, and I had to go play parent, since Mother was busy.

You did send me a 'Valentine' if you can call it that. The letter was nice enough but your gift was not amusing in the slightest!

I took one bite of the chocolates and got a nosebleed! It would not stop for a good ten minutes. I didn't even bother with the rest. This is very unlike you to do such a thing!

Care to see your letter to refresh your memory?

Gwen, Carissima,

To say that I love you more than I love most people would be a gross understatement. I may not have it in my heart to love more than a few people, but you make that very short list and I thank Merlin every day that I have you in my life. You sparkle like a sunrise, and bring me infinitely more happiness than the simple rotation of the Earth on its axis ever could.

Festivus Dies St. Valentini.
~ G.

[[Enclosed is what appears to be a very fancy box of chocolates. In reality, it is a cleverly disguised Skiving Snackbox, featuring Puking Pastilles, Fever Fudge, Nosebleed Nougats, Ton-Tongue Toffees, and Canary Creams. Anything to fix the effects of the sweets has been removed.]]

I haven't sent your Valentine at all, Carissima. It's sitting right next to me, waiting to be wrapped and sent to you -- I had a jeweler design something unique for you out of silver, emeralds, and white and blue diamonds.

As per "my" letter -- it's a very convincing imitation of my voice, but an outright awful impersonation of my handwriting. Additionally, since the sweet that you sent me just turned me into a large bird and back, I can say with utter certainty that I would not be caught dead in the shop where your sweets were purchased, unless given an assignment to send George Weasley back to his dead, departed brother.

Now I am awfully confused. If you didn't do it who did? I mean the handwriting was different from yours in some major areas but I just read the letter and it sounded similar to something you would write.

It just hurt me to get that on Valentines day. It rather ruined my entire day. I will personally find whoever did this and show them how upset I am.

I have some ideas as to who would want to do it but it doesn't help that I have so many enemies.

I don't hold you accountable for anything about this situation, Carissima; you were injured and you rightly sought explanation for it going on the information you had available to you at the time. And it was a very good imitation of me. I'd be flattered if they hadn't hurt you. I'm also sorry that this ruined your day so horridly. Would helping you to weed out the guilty persons give you some recompense?

It's the Latin that should point us in the right direction, I believe. After all, it's not as widely know as it used to be, and I don't imagine that too many people would know enough to use it here. Given the who uses Latin anymore, we're looking for someone who is Pureblooded, Catholic, a scholar, obnoxiously erudite, or some combination thereof.

I am sorry for even thinking you would do such a thing. As you said, I was just going on the information I had. Now that I look over all the facts and think about it I should have known it was not you. You never step foot into the Ministry and there would be no reason for you to make the letter not traceable.

I would really appreciate that, yes.

You are right about the latin and when you mentioned Catholic, Pureblooded and obnoxiously eruidite my mind quickly went to none other than Terry Boot. I don't know of any other Catholic Purebloods. He did send me that owl a few months ago as well.
