You git!
I know you'd do anything to avoid work, but going and dying as a big war hero is a little much. Even for you Fred.
Oh, I get it; you had to out do me and my battle scar. I see how it is. I 'ear what you're saying.
Sorry. Bad humour. I still haven't mastered my ear humour yet. Not having you to bounce jokes off of doesn't help. Percy's You shall been trying though – bless the guy. He's not really up to out level yet though, but he certainly tries. Actually, Perc has been helping me a bit – quilt I imagine – with developing a replacement ear. Lend me Your Ear, what do you think? I'm not sure. If it doesn't explode or make you puke it's beyond me really.
You were the one with an eye for that sort of thing…
We got a store in Hogsmeade. Zonko's to be exact. It's even got two rooms in the back. You know, if you ever need a place to stay. Come for a visit, that sort of thing. Rude to not visit your own brother, even if they're no doubt I'm more attractive now. I won't hold it against you.
I've started spending time with Aberforth – guy has got a weird affection for goats. Quite strange. But he's someone to talk to. Or better, someone to drink with. Never saw the benefit of being friends with a bar owner before now. Even developed a taste for firewhisky.
I've been trying to develop something new – even the ear was Percy's idea – but I've got nothing. Can't seem to think straight. Nothing makes all that much sense.
Mum's stopped crying everyday. But she still hasn't cleared our room at the Burrow. Dad's well.
Ron's off and married. Ginny too (Harry went and made her an honest woman). Bill and Fleur finally had a little rugrat – Victoire – I think she's suspiciously hairy. Mum says that's not funny. But even Remus' kid wasn't that hairy. Strange if you ask me.
I don't really want to replace my ear. I can't go and fill in that one thing that's missing with a piece of charmed plastic. When you lose something like that, you go on missing it. You can't just wake up one morning and not notice anymore. Everyone just expects you to be used to it. How the bloody hell do you get used to something that was always there being gone?
Percy isn't replacing you.
I'm sure you don't have all the time in the world to read rambling letters from your brother. Though, I can't imagine what you'd be spending all your free time doing now. Floating? Peeping in on Lee?
The better looking twin,
George.
I miss you.
