AN: Here it is, my next set of letters. Sorry it took me so long - Still really busy but my course will finish soon. Hooray! Anyway, read, enjoy, review :D

Dear Ginny

How was your summer? Did your brothers let you join in with Quidditch this year? I'm having a busy time here at the moment – a Muggle tourist stumbled into one of the pyramids being investigated by the Goblins and got trapped in a sarcophagus. It's been trouble trying to sort it out and cover it up, not to mention trying to establish what a tourist was doing there in the first place! I heard that Gringotts had trouble in Diagon Alley, too. Something about a break-in, but nothing was stolen. I'd be amazed if that person got out alive – they'll probably find him rotting in a passageway somewhere in a few years time.

Anyway, How did Ron feel about starting Hogwarts? I hope Fred and George won't tease him too much – Percy will undoubtedly attempt to keep them in check but I'm not sure how effective that will be. You'll have their teasing to look forward to when you start next year!

Take care, Gin, and be good.

Lots of love, Bill xx

Dear Bill

I had a good summer, except that they still wont let me play Quidditch with them. I've worked out how to break into the broom cupboard, though, so while nobody's here, I've been borrowing their brooms and I'm going to teach myself how to fly.

Ron was excited about starting Hogwarts, obviously. I wish I could have gone this year, I'm just as clever as Ron! Mum keeps saying I'm too young and it'll be my turn next year. Fred and George promised Mum not to tease him too much but I don't think they were really sincere. Percy got made a prefect in the holidays so he'll be able to give them detention if they cause too much trouble.

I went with them all to the station and guess what? Harry Potter was there, you know, the boy who lived. He must be the same age as Ron because he didn't know how to get to platform 9 and three quarters! Ron's so lucky, he gets to start Hogwarts this year and he sat next to Harry Potter on the Hogwarts express. It's just not fair.

That thing you said about the Muggle getting stuck in the sarcophagus made me laugh (once Dad told me what a sarcophagus was). Muggles are so stupid sometimes. I don't understand why Dad finds them so interesting.

Mum has been nagging me for ages to tidy my room and she says if I don't do it now then I have to wash up after dinner, too. So I'm going to send this with Errol now, even though I'm not sure he's really up to flying to Egypt. Please write back soon.

Lots of Love, Ginny xxxxx

Dear Ginny

Sorry I haven't written earlier, you know I'm not very good at keeping in touch, even with you. It's got quite cold here now, but there won't be any snow. I'm expecting a big Christmas bonus so I've been able to get you all Christmas presents – they're on their way!

So you met the Boy Who Lived, then? I hope Ron was tactful, though I doubt it. I hope he's finding his first year just as exciting as I found mine, and getting into a little less trouble than Fred and George, but a little more trouble than Percy. Not long now 'til you can start, Gin. At least you don't have to worry about the sorting – with all 6 of your brothers in Gryffindor I'd say there's a fair chance you'll be sorted there too. You will, of course, have to share a common room with the others. I'm glad I left Hogwarts before the twins arrived! Their company is not something I expect I'd enjoy when trying hard to finish a transfiguration essay.

I hope you've been careful when borrowing brooms from the others – they're not the best brooms, you know, and can be temperamental at times. Please take care of yourself.

Sadly I still have work to do before I get my holiday, so that's it for now, though your Christmas presents should arrive soon.

Happy Christmas, Gin.

Love, Bill xx
