This chapter is pretty much set up like a normal letter chapter. There is one scene that takes place in action because not everything can go on a piece of paper.

Theo,
You didn't say good-bye last night. I assume the young Grangers were tuckered out, I know Scorpius was. It was fantastic to see you last night, happy I may add, and it was to see Granger too, even though we didn't get along too well back in the day. I have to say though, and mother agrees, George Weasley and his wife are hilarious, which I guess is expected from the prankster Weasley. The others weren't too bad either. Pansy complained to Astoria but Astoria told her to shut it that they were welcomed guests. Mother wants you and Granger to come over for dinner sometime too. Though she didn't mention it, but it was implied, you should bring Serafina and Henry. Scorpius won't stop talking about her. Help me. It's annoying. He's only seven! He shouldn't be obsessed with girls.
Blaise stayed the night. He missed you. I mean, we all did. He's going to be around for a few weeks, staying her at the Manor, before he goes but to Tutshill for training. The three of us need to go out sometime, and maybe a second time where you can invite the fun Weasley. Just owl me that you are okay. I assume you made it home perfectly fine but things happen.

Draco,
We made it home perfectly fine. Sorry we didn't say good bye. Hermione was tired and the kids were already asleep. Maybe we can hang out Saturday. I understand if you want to go someplace magical but I know a good pub here in London if it'll suit yours and Blaise's pompous tastes. Just let me know when to invite George. Same for dinner too. Just give a few days advance so Hermione is prepared. We had fun last night. It's good to see Narcissa has never lost her hostess flare.
Also, this is Horatio. He is a barn owl the Longbottoms and Scamander's bought for Hermione to keep in better contact with people. She said he's as much mine as hers. Give him a treat. He's a peculiar owl who mainly likes vegetarian type food. Bacon is the only meat he'll eat. And crackers, he loves though. By this time, you should probably feed him because he starts squawking till he's fed. He'll leave either when you give him a letter or feed him again. He's kind of a pig.
Theo
It was storming the night of January 4th. Henry hated storms. The thunder and lightning scared him. He waddled towards his mum's room to sleep with her. He slowly opened the door. A flash of lightning illuminated the room. Finny was lying in there. She kicked in her sleep which made him not want to stay. He shut the door and decided to see Deo.
Deo was snoring when he walked in. He poked him several times before he began to stir. "Whuz you doin, Henry," He slurred, still not awake truly.
"It's storming and I don't like storms. Finny with mum. Can I seep with you, Deo?" the little boy pleaded. Theo slowly sat up and picked up the small boy. Henry snuggled into Theo. In return, Theo wrapped his arms around Henry. "Tank you Deo."
" 's no problem, buddy. Night Henry," Theo mumbled drifting back into deep sleep.
"Night Deo. I love you."

Dear Theo,
How rude! You let Henry sleep with you last night. That's not fair. You should've invited me too. I guess I can't be too mad at you. Mummy and were up early making breakfast, which I now watch you devour. You two weren't up by 8 so we went to check on you. Mum smiled really really big when she saw you holding Henry asleep. I was kinda jealous but then I heard you both snore. I think I'm okay with not being invited to your sleepover.
Love, Fina

Theo,
Muggle pubs are awesome. I stay in wizarding Tutshill so the muggle world is pretty much foreign for me. You seem to have it going. Drake told me that they got you season tickets as a gift. The first game for the new season starts in March. I expect to see you there along with Granger and the tiny Grangers. Invite the fun Weasley, Longbottom, and Scam along with their families. It was actually cool to hang with them last night. At least they showed up later so you, me and Drake had our own time. Let me know by mid February how many tickets I need for them. Keep me updated on your life, my twiggy beau.
Yours, the Italian Stallion (aka Blaise)

Georgie,
The other night was fantastic. Draco and Blaise had a great time, and I really have to thank you for putting up with them. Draco has really softened out since Hogwarts but he can still be pompous. Blaise his very narcissistic and has a huge ego. Blaise owled me the other day and wanted me to ask if you, Angelina, Fred and Roxy wanted to attend the first game of the Quidditch season for the Tutshill Tornadoes, since he plays for them. I'm getting ahold Neville and Rolf to see if they and their families want to come too.
The main reason I am actually writing to you is because the show Hermione and I are going to see for our date is in a few days. I need you to convince her that you and Angelina can watch Fina and Henry. Your mum has offered, but your git brother will be there. Don't ask how I know. Her parents offered but they're still a little unsure about me. I met them last Sunday before we met up. Potter and his wife offered too. Only problem is that they don't know it's me. They don't know about me. I need you to watch them. I don't care if you end up seeing the Potters or go to the Burrow. They just need to stay with you. It's Hermione's decision though. I just ask that you try.

Theodorey,
You can count on me.
George
PS. Angelina is all for the Quidditch match as am I. All four of us will go.

Hermione,
As you are probably aware of, you are going on a date on Saturday. Angie and I will watch Fin and Hen. Do not argue. It'll be easier that way. Think about it please. A night of just you and Theo watching Shakespeare and exploring how much you two love each other. Plus, we know who you are going on a date with.
George

George,
Theo put you up to this. I know he did and I'm okay with it. You're right. It'll be easy with you two watching the kids and because you know. My parents know too but they've only met Theo once and are a little...abrasive about his presence. As you could the last time you were at the Burrow when I was, your mother isn't fond of the idea of Theo. She doesn't know it's him I'm going with. She's not even that happy that I'm going on a date so soon after the divorce. I want to scream, George. She criticizes me for going on a date a month after I divorce. She criticizes me for how I raise MY children. She criticizes me for living with another man whom I'm not married to or is the father of my children. She doesn't criticize Ron for having another family though. Is it so wrong that I'm happy and in love? I'm rambling now.
The show starts at 7 on Saturday. Theo planned on us going out for dinner beforehand. He says we have reservations at a place at 5. Please be here a little before then. Normally, I'd rather just drop them off at your place but our evening is completely in muggle London. You're the greatest, George.
Sincerely and thankful, Hermione

Mr. Nott,
Stay away from my family. My children do not need a death eater in their lives. I don't know how you poisoned or cursed Hermione but it's disgusting. Leave them or I'll make sure you go to your cell in Azkaban.

Hermione,
I told you to keep them away from him. He needs out of there. It's not safe with him in your house. And you let him take you and them to Malfoy Manor! You were tortured there! Something has to change, Hermione. This is your last warning: he leaves or I intervene. Your choice.
Ron
Ron's an asshole but I think you already knew that. Please review because your feedback helps with my writing and helps plan what happens next. I've also gone back and edited the other chapters.
