A little bit tactless

[Beth]

Dear Beth,
How are you doing? Sorry if you recieved this letter late. I've been very busy lately, what with moving house and all. It's very busy down here at the moment, and I barely have time to do anything. But at least I managed to write! How are your friends? Have you made any more this year? Tell them I say hello, and wish them well. Oh, I'm sorry, but the removals truck has just arrived, so I must get going. Maybe you can share the cakes I sent you with your friends!
Lots of love
Mum

Beth folded up the letter and began to open the brown parcel that was sitting on her lap. With a sigh, she lifted up one of the cakes. Raisins. How did she know her mother was going to do that? Raisins were one of Beths least favourite foods. But her mother would never know that. She's always just too busy to notice anything. Even the fact that after three years at Hogwarts, Beth had made no friends whatsoever.

Beth took a small bite of one of the raisin-filled cakes. Disgusting. And it wasn't the fact that they were filled with raisins, it was the fact that she had just discovered a rather long, brown hair sticking out of the place where she had just bitten.
