Mum,
Oh, geeze. Er... the owl's name is Hermes, he's part of the raise that I got for making it past training relatively unscathed. I apparently need him for working, and he can also be used for family messages. They said having an owl to give relatives information on how you're doing is just as important to have them for business, especially considering my rank of Dragon Handler Apprentice.
I've recently had two boys that are about the same age as Ron claim me for guardian, due to the fact that I'd be a better choice to raise them than their own. They don't trust many beings yet, but Bill, one of the boy's house elf and I are people they know they can trust. And the house elf child's mother, but she's not been contacted because of the father. So, nothing against you, but you can't see them yet.
I do request for Ginny and Ron to come over to give them a couple more kids to play with. I let Bill know he could tell you some of the details, I really don't trust post. Or even floo, and the hurt one gave me some good reasons with times that people came and believed his guardians over him. And the runaway's father has lot's of resources and might like having access to the hurt one.
I'm not leaving them alone yet, and luckily I'm in the paperwork stage of becoming a Dragon Handler Field Apprentice. So I'm able to take them with me, slightly disguised. None of my co-workers blame the kids for sticking with me and have started to befriend them. Myrna is especially taken with them, thinks they're angels, and hopefully by the time I have to go back out to the dragons they'll accept her as one of the alternate caregivers. Also, with Ron's and Gin's visit, I'm hoping that they'll give the boy's more stories of you and get them to see about meeting you and dad.
Love you,
Charlie

Dear Diary,
Mum's letting Ron and I go to Charlie's to meet our new nephews. Which... is odd, because Charlie's not married, or even having a girl-friend. And Mum's not really happy that he won't let her see them yet. Fred + George are jeolous, but they get to go to Day-School so I think it's only fair. Bill came by for lunch today, told Ron and I to 'be care-full' because they don't get brothers + sisters + what happens when you see someone for 'days on end' with 'no escape'. I found that odd because wouldn't they have had to deal with each other?
He also took Mum aside and told her some things. She went pale and then REALLY red as Bill went on. She nodded a few times during all the things he said and then he left back to... Af-ri-ka. Mum hasn't gone on about Charlie since. I wonder what he said... Oh! Dinner!
After dinner Mum told us to go to bed and took Daddy into the living room so they could watch the stairs and make sure we weren't peeking. I don't think they know about the hole in the twins' closet. And thank goodness Percy's at Hog-Has-Warts, or we'd pro'lly all be in BIG trouble.
So, Mum told Daddy that one of the boys was hurt real BAD by the people who watched over him before Charlie found him. That he'd had scars and bruises and stuff, some that looked kinda like hands from what Bill said. Big hands, but the person who hurt him hadn't made it... ob-vi-ose that he'd hurt him. All of the marks were where his clothes were. Mum was really mad and ranted about the stupid people who'd hurt one of our new nephews and Daddy tried calming her down. She took a while though.
Then she started in about the other boy's dad and how he tried to get him to badly hurt different people. She was ex-special-lie upset about something that she whispered to Daddy, and we couldn't hear it, but Daddy went pretty pale. She was glad that both boys had Charlie and Bill, even if they weren't ready yet to see her and Daddy... crap. Mum. 'Night.
