HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I swear, you'll have the greatest time ever up here, it'll even beat the New Year's on '97.
You should probably stop drinking so much.
I mean it, but the firewhiskey down.
George. Stop. You're a pretty sappy drunk, you know that?
If you don't put down your wand, I'm calling Dad.
Chin up, mate,
Fred

Hey,
Look whose holy now?
George, stop crying.
I mean it, that's not- I- you'd better be crying with laughter, right now George.
What do you call a flying house-elf?
You get the answer in about seventy years or so!
Love you, please don't cry anymore.
Fred
January 3
Quit frowning, it's unflattering.
Remember when we blew up Moaning Myrtle's toliet? Or threw the fanged frisbee at Filch? And broke into Honeydukes for the first time? And set up that portable swamp in the charms-
DAMNNIT GEORGE I SAID STOP CRYING!
Fred
P.S. Please?
January 4
Sometimes, when I think about writing to you each day, I wonder what I would even say. But then, I sit down and start to write, and I have to remember that they're supposed to be short.
Knock knock!
Come on, you could at least pretend to play along. No, don't hit your head like that- ouch!
Fred
January 5
They only give us these letters this far afterwards if you really needed it. I tried to make a clean break like the others here, really.
But we're Gred and Forge, so we've never really been that neat, have we?
Gred

I'm glad Ron's been helping you take care of the shop while I'm gone. People have been pretty good to you, you know. Considering you're still hung up on something that happpened 7 months ago.
Fred
January 7
Sorry, that was a little rude, yesterday, wouldn't you say? I'll bet you're mad. I'll bet you're not even reading this. You're not.
Fine.
January 8
Look, I'm sorry. That was out of line, and I'm sorry. Thank you.
Love,
Fred
January 9
What would you say to Veritiserum candy? For ministry aurors on the go and such. If they're undercover, they can slip them a candy, and it's much less suspicious looking than a vial.
We'd have to have some kind of paperwork and registration for it though. Hmm...
Fred
January 10
Yeah, I thought about the Veritiserum candy some more. Probably not the best idea, I'd say.
I'll keep thinking.
Fred
January 11
George,
You know, Angelina and Lee don't like to see you so sad.
Fred
January 12
I mean, I get that you kept it bottled up for the last seven months, and you holed yourself up in work...It's just that's how they thought you were dealing with it.
So don't get mad at anyone, especially Mum. They just want to see you happy again.
Love,
Fred
January 13
That's quite the hangover you've got. New Year's was nearly two weeks ago.
Fred
January 14
Really, if you don't stop drinking, I'm going to stop writing.
Take your pick,
Fred
January 15
Thanks. I think I even need these letters more than you. Time passes really weird up here. Those seven months went by in a snap, when I think about it. It's sort of like I just left.
Fred
January 16
You should let Ron actually do something for once, other than manual labor. I know he's Ron, but if Hermione has stuck with him, he's got to have some form of a brain.
Fred
January 17
Right. That was stupid of me not to realize, wasn't it? You'll just give him all the manual labor and you can keep your mind busy. Well look, you'll have to think about me sometimes.
Fred
January 18
I was funny, right? So quit moping. You can smile, you know.
Fred
January 19
Plus, if you don't do something, you'll be old and fat in about a year. And I'll just let my letters make fun of you, then.
Fred
January 20
Great! You listened, you actually listened!
You are the greatest twin brother ever!
Fred
January 21
Good job not crying yesterday, I thought maybe that letter would tear-jerk- crap.
Fred
January 22
Hey, give Valerie the day off for once, will you? She's got a boyfriend you know. Make Angelina work or something. That's what friends are for.
Fred
January 23
Wow, I didn't realize Angelina was that good a salesperson. Let's try Lee next!
Fred
January 24
Go on, try it! Lee's good old commentator voice could come in handy!
Fred
January 25
Ha! I told you! That boy has dragged his mum in here so many times, I can't even count, and she finally bought something! Because of Lee! Give him a bonus.
Fred
January 26
Did you listen to that Chudley game on the wireless? Ouch! And I thought those boils hurt back in school.
January 27
I didn't sign my name yesterday. How do you feel about that? I guess it doesn't matter much. I mean, really, are you talking to anyone else that's dead?
January 28
I didn't mean to make you sad yesterday. Thanks for visiting my headstone though. It's a spiffing cemetery, those guys throw killer parties!
Fred
P.S. Too much too soon?
January 29
I'm sorry, I promise to not mention my dying so much if- Merlin, George! I am trying to write here!
Don't you roll your eyes at me, kid!
Fred
P.S. I think I'm older... Ask Mum
January 30
Smetimes I think you won't pick up my sarcastic or snotty tone sometimes, but then I remember that your Forge, and I'm Gred.
January 31
Crap. We're already a month in. I hope you don't think I'm wasting these letters? Good. Also, if you ever need or want me to stop then go ahead and yell at the clouds or something. I'll hear.
Fred
A/N: Yes, I believe I can balance both of my stories at once. Please, send me ideas for letters! It will take longer to update this story than TETAEF, because that story is mostly written. Thank you for reading!
