a bit of snow on the ground this morning. boot must start looking for rags for his feet.

was lucky last year. found some wool scraps. wool is better then cotton or linen, because it can keep feet warmer even if it gets wet. and boots feet get wet a lot. when boot took them off in the spring and left them in a corner of his cupboard, they disappeared a few weeks later. maybe master threw them out, dunno. (don't think house elves would ever bother with a mudbloods cupboard). master doesn't like boot to keep anything of his own. mudbloods shouldn't have things to keep. even rags.

rags are hard to find, though. house elves don't often keep ragged stuff around. boot often has to look sharp for several days before he can find anything to use.

Um, I don't want to offend you or anything, but I happen to have an old scarf in my trunk. Maybe you could use it? It's wool, I think. My sister Evelyn just knit me a new one and sent it to me by owl post, and I have my Gryffindor scarf, too, so I don't have any use for it, really.

I'd offer an old pair of shoes of mine, but my feet are pretty big (Evelyn always said they're big as boats), and I expect they'd fall off your feet.

It's no trouble at all, honest. I don't need it anymore and I'm just as glad it will do somebody else some good.

I'll bring it to my next Transfiguration class, and leave it on my desk afterwards.

I have an old jumper that you might use. It's too big for me, so I never wear it, and it's wonderfully warm.

Certainly you may accept these things. If you feel you deserve them, then take them.

As you will.

Guess you're set for winter, then.

Well, look at the tidbit. Standing up for itself. Developing a sense of self, are we?

Don't you worry. We'll get you fixed up. And, as per my most recent post, we're having a little soiree in your honour tomorrow night! That should give you something to look forward to all day, hm?

Oh Terry I would give you some of what I have but it would only get you hurt into trouble. I know that. I hope that everything is okay.
