Bad news at breakfast

I got an owl from my Gran this morning, letting me know my Great-grandma Kate died. (Not Gran's mum, Great-grandma Kate was on the other side of the family.) I used to see her a couple times a year. She hasn't been real spry the past couple years, but her mind was sharp as ever. Still, old as she was and all, it was a shock to get the news. She was the kind of person you almost expected to live forever. She was always real nice to me and Evelyn whenever Gran would take us to visit her. Gran said Evelyn's a bit upset over it. She used to exchange letters with Great-grandma Kate once every other month or so.

Gran's arranged it with the Headmistress for me to floo home over the weekend for the funeral.

Hey, mate. I'm really sorry.

When are you leaving to Floo home?

That's sad, Nev. I'm sorry. At least you get to go home and see your family though, yeah.

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, Neville.

Do you have everything you might need, like a set of non-school robes that are appropriate for the funeral? Good shoes and so forth?
