Dear Hermione, Happy holidays! This being the first letter of the summer after a horrific fifth year and months of O.W.L.s, I think that should be the first thing I write. Happy holidays! How are you? I hope Muggle life is treating you well. I bet you're on some splendid holiday somewhere interesting. You'll lie back and study instead of lie back and relax. Typical of you. Speaking of vacations and holidays, I'm in Romania; the reason I couldn't write you in a while. Mum and Dad sent me. She would have sent me alone (said that I need some time off after last year) but Fred and George insisted on spreading Weasley's Wizard Weezes to as many countries as possible. Percy wanted to go, but Dad told him he causes me too much stress so he wasn't allowed to go. Charlie's shown me lots of different kinds of dragons. Norbert (you remember Norbert, don't you? How could we forget?) is a guard at the Romanian branch of Gringotts. He's guarding some speacial treasures for the Minister of Magic here. I've forgotten his name, but he's a really nice chap. He pays his House Elves I'll have you know. Charlie took me to meet him last weekend and he just adores Fred and George's company. He's promised to meet up with some of his pals in International ministires and see what he can do for them. They're ecstatic. We're learning loads about animals and stuff, but Charlie won't let us out past dark without him. You-Know-Who is supposedly lurking in a country near by. Fred and George say that He's in league with that group who bombed that one American city. You know...the one with the towers. I'm sure you've read about it some place. Anyway, sorry this letter's so long, but there's so much to say! I hope to hear from you soon.

Always, Ron PS: If you hear from Harry tell him I can't send him anything til he sends Hedwig. I've bought him something really cool, but Pig can't carry it. I'd send it by Romanian Owl Post, but I don't know where he is because he's with Snuffles this summer. There's a package (a small one) attatched to this as well for you. I hope you like it. 'Bye!
