Hi guys! Sorry this chapter has been a long time coming but I've been super busy at work and have been staying late and going in on the weekends so it hasn't given me much time to write! Hopefully things will quieten down in a couple of weeks though. Enjoy.
Dear Harry,
Well I go back to Hogwarts in the morning. My trunk is all packed and mum's made sure all my clothes are washed and ironed and packed tidily. The past week has gone so quickly that I can't believe it's over. I guess it's true that time seems to speed up when you're dreading something. It's been a fairly good week though. The twins have been round a lot, they said business is slow so their other staff can handle it. We played Quidditch one day when Bill came to visit, me and Fred against Bill and George. We won! There was something in Bill's eyes though when we landed afterwards which made me feel like he let me win to cheer me up. I didn't ask though. I had to borrow Ron's broom though because of mine being confiscated by Snape and the Carrows. It was good to be able to get into the air and just fly around for a bit. Mum's been making me all my favourite foods, I guess she's trying to spoil me to make up for the three of you, Percy and Charlie not being here. I got an owl from Charlie yesterday, wishing me luck for school and that he wishes he could be here. I wish he was here too. Maybe when this is all over I'll be able to visit Charlie in Romania, I've always wanted to go to the dragon reserve. It was cool seeing the dragons in the Triwizard Tournament but then I was more focused on that fact you had to get past it. It would be nice to see them in a giant reserve and watch the keepers handle them. I don't know if mum would let me though because she doesn't like Charlie working there and she's always been more protective of me because I'm the youngest and probably because I'm the only girl. Maybe she'd let me go if you came with me? That way both you and Charlie would be there to 'protect' me and you've already faced a dragon so maybe mum would be cool with that. How about it? Fancy a trip to a dragon reserve?
We still haven't heard anything about Luna. Dad told the rest of the Order about the capture and so they've been listening out to see if they can find out where she is. The most probable place is Azkaban but usually they find out who's been taken there, I think they may have people keeping watch on it, so they know what's going on. But so far no one's heard anything. Dad showed me the latest Quibbler's though. Xeno really did go all out to support you so it's no wonder they wanted to find a way to stop him. I just wish it wasn't through Luna. Do you remember meeting Xeno at Bill's wedding? He was mad! I can see now why Luna says so many weird things. But I'd give anything to be able to discuss nargles or crumpled horned snorkax (no idea if that's spelt right but you know what I mean). At least tomorrow I can talk to Neville. I haven't been able to say much in my letters that I've sent to him because the death eaters might intercept them. I think he had a good Christmas though. He said he went to visit his parents in St Mungo's, like the year we saw him there. His gran seems to be annoying him though. We're going to have a DA meeting tomorrow evening to discuss what's been going on, we arranged it before Christmas. It seems now that the death eaters are stepping up their game and so we need to as well. Mum sat me down earlier and went on about how I need to behave myself and not get into trouble. She doesn't understand that it doesn't matter if I do something wrong or not. The Carrow's are just looking for things to punish me for and if they don't find them then they make stuff up. So it's better to actually do something and get punished rather than just get punished for nothing.
I've been keeping up with Potterwatch. They reported about Luna being taken off the train and also that several other people have vanished. More people have died as well, muggles and muggleborns. I just want it all to end. I want you to be here and Ron and Hermione. We could have played quidditch and gone for walks and ate all the food mum cooks for us. I want to be waiting to go back to Hogwarts with you, so we can all sit by the fire in the Common Room, chill out in the Room of Requirement and take trips into Hogsmeade. But I suppose that's not going to happen for now. But hopefully one day it will. I just need to try and keep my hopes up. Please stay safe Harry, don't let me read in the paper that you've been captured or killed. It's my worst nightmare.
All my love,
Ginny.
