George,
Thanks for a wonderful Valentine's day, I can't believe there's only half a week left of February. Thanks for coming to see me on the valentine's day, that was a wonderful surprise. (Did you charm that poor owl to be pink? I think you humiliated it, you should have seen how much it was blushing. It really made my day though, he was really cute!) I never even thought about the fact that I would be sharing a house with a wedding crazy Fleur, not to mention your mother, and Ginny… Any hotels in Diagon Alley? No? Well, expect to see me hanging around your shop and flat quite a bit.
Harry is getting better about the whole obsessing thing. He's finally starting to get a handle on the whole nonverbal magic thing. He managed to disarm Ron yesterday without saying anything. I told him that I believed him about the whole Draco thing and he didn't bring it back up for two days. He was excited that he'd convinced me and then he turned his persuading powers towards Ron.
I am extremely hard to impress, George Weasley. (It just so happens that you are impressive.) You have a very good point on the whole Slytherin thing. They are all to manipulative to be any real help with the Prefect system. They usually just cause more problems, (I'm thinking of Draco here.) I agree that they really only listen to Snape, they'll occasionally listen to Dumbledore, but not really.
Okay, I'm beginning to think that Ron is crushing on Luna, but that's just so strange. I never would have thought Ron would like Luna. I mean, she's incredibly nice, but Ron always acted like she annoyed him. I think it was mainly because she was so…different. That's honestly why I really like her, she also is extremely truthful. She does like Ron as well, but she's not going to tell him any time soon. She shouldn't either, she should let him ask her. Yes, Neville is most definitely crushing on Hannah, he even asked her out on a date for Valentine's day. He was extremely dull though, he just gave her a flower and asked her out. There wasn't any pink owl, flowers, hearts, or fireworks.
Actually, I think it did backfire on McGonagall. Every person she gave detention to that had to stay over Christmas went off on pranks. Literally, according to McGonagall she had to call Dumbledore in things got so bad. I bet you and Fred would have had a lot of fun with it. Filch is still moping around Hogwarts, he even was cranky to Mrs. Norris. She actually hissed at him! (It was really funny, I got a picture of it.) What are you thinking of doing to him? You have to be careful, you know that Mrs. Pince likes him. If you get him too bad she might not let me back in the library. Thanks for not pranking anyone we were about to have a class with. I have to say, Snape made a really great bat. It did take a little while for me to notice though, he always looks so bat-like.
I was really surprised that Smarmy's was safe, I kind of thought that you were going to make the whole corridor a prank trap, but it was actually okay. You and Fred did officially break the record, you have both now broken every single one of the Marauders records. (I'd say congratulations but that would ruin my prefect façade.) I've never seen Hogwarts in such a prank crazy state. You actually set a record for most pranks ever set in the school, other students joined in as well. I loved the hair trick, but I can't tell you how I knew because if I told you then that would ruin the fun of doing it again. (Because you'd fix the weak link that gave you away. (Dumbledore doesn't do red well either, but Harry really doesn't do red. He laughed when I told you he said that. He said, and I quote, 'he'll see how well you do raven.' I d watch out if I were you.)
Oh well, looks like neither of us are going to find out the answer to our questions, darn it. Well, I'll teach you about the lion some day, I'm too proud of it to keep it a secret for long. I don't think you'll be able to keep from telling me about the prank for much louder, you're also too excited about it. I think that if I visit you over Easter weekend that Angie and I'll fix the food. I'm sure Fred isn't a terrible cook, but I think it would be better to be safe than sorry. I'm sending you a book on stomach spells just in case you have to try some of it though, I can't have you getting sick before I get to see you, I'd have to hex Fred then. Angelina and I see each other on a fairly regular basis. Usually after your Hogsmeade visits.
I told you that if you went through with your all day prankathon I would put you in detention. It was fun though, putting you in detention. (I didn't know you could charm your wand to magically write the lines for you.
Okay, I'll trust you that no one can slip anything in your drink. Still, don't forget to be extremely careful. Remember, Constant Vigilance! I hadn't noticed before hand, but you're right, you are extremely careful about what you drink. You're almost as paranoid as Moody. (Kidding, no one is as paranoid as him. Does Fred try and prank you often? Do you try and prank him often? You two must be a mess to live with. How did your poor mother do it for all those years? Maybe I should start watching what I drink near you… I'm getting extremely good at hiding my emotions, I did learn from the master though. I don't think I know anyone whose better at pranking than you or Fred. I was surprised that I could prank you with everyone else there.
Perfect, since neither of us actually really won, we'll do a compromise. It'll be awesome. Where will we go for a picnic? (Which sounds lively by the way!) I think that skating will be wonderful, it'll be a lot of fun. I don't mind going for a flight either. I was worried that I would be scared when we went, but you actually made it fun. I'm more than happy to go out on a flight. Plus, I did promise that I'd do what you wanted. Just don't make us go to fast, or if we do, give me a kiss while you do.
Did McGonagall really scare you Friday? She worried me for a while, she looked serious when those frogs started appearing. (Where on earth did they come from? They just started coming out of the suits of armor.) The WWW fireworks almost pushed her over the edge though. (I particularly liked the lion that swallowed the snake though, we'll need it again for the upcoming quidditch match.)
The firework display that we skated under was beautiful, really truly beautiful. Thanks for making that such a wonderful night. I'll see you tomorrow for the debt/compromise night, I can't wait. I won't tell anyone what we're doing, well, I might tell Harry I'll be busy, but I won't tell him where I'm going. I can stay out semi late, but I do have to be back before morning. When Harry saw me hanging out at the lake all by my self he really did think I was going mental, he thought I was studying out there. I told him that I was meeting a friend and he managed to piece it together.
How did you make it where anytime Snape tried to deduct points he changed into a bat? That was brilliant and hiliarious! I really love that he had to get someone to turn him back, only the teachers or Dumbledore were able to do it so he had to keep flying out of class to get help. Unfortunately it did stop yesterday, but it was a blast while it lasted.
I never realized that Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes wasn't built before you owned it, that's really cool. Did you give any specific instructions for when they built it? I mean, did you request that it have two backrooms and two flats above it? I always wondered how you two kept managing to disappear of the grounds, and where you were going. It's neat knowing you actually did have a non pranking agenda.
Too late, George! I've already charmed the letter to say that you said that I was right, he-he! (*pokes back while laughing like a maniac.*)
You're really coming to Hogwarts for Ron's birthday? That's awesome! I can't wait to see you during it. I'm getting him a small present since he's turning of age. It's a really big deal for him, and you'd better watch out, I think he's going to hex you and Fred. He said something about Christmas magic, just warning you. I'll be waiting for you at the Three Broomsticks with two pints of butterbeer. Make sure that neither Ron of Fred follow you though!
Have you ever seen a real giant? Are they really that big? That's rather alarming, it would put them as being almost level with the height of Hogwarts… Wow. Did Charlie really give you a lot of heart ache with the whole wild animal/creature thing? I bet that was his favorite class, Care of Magical Creatures. When did he decide to go into dragon keeping? I bet your mum flipped her lid when she heard that. I think both of your older brothers have thrill issues, I mean Bill's a curse breaker as well… (Maybe it runs in the family, I mean you both are crazy pranksters.) I don't attempt to understand how Hagrid looks at the Blast End Skrewt and thinks 'cute' instead of run for the hills, much less how he thinks those disturbing and gross slugs are anything but ugly.
Pay up George Weasley, I read that 'he said she said he thought I thought' thing without getting confused. Okay, a little but I put it together with only one reading. I do think that Ron and Luna are a stranger couple than us, but Ginny and Harry aren't exactly normal either. Honestly us Gryffindor's tend to date odd people. We're just brave like that. I'm glad to know he no longer cares if I did whatever it was I supposedly did. He sat by me when we had dinner last night. It was fun, talking to him again. I think we're going to be friends again, I think we're going to be all right. Harry nearly did a backflip when he saw us sitting by each other, he was smiling ridiculously big when he heard us talking too.
Lol about Harry and the whole book thing. I almost showed him that, but I figured he probably wouldn't find it nearly as funny as I did. He actually tested the spell on Ron without meaning to. It only ended up flipping him upside down, but it was still extremely dangerous, he really shouldn't have done it.
I'm glad that Remus is doing well. I can't even describe how much he's helped Harry out just by writing. Any more news on the Tonks/Remus front? I bet they don't start dating till after school term. She's going to have to get past his guard, that could take a while.
Ginny would have hexed you if she thought you were going to get mad at Harry for asking her out on a date, I know that's the real reason you didn't do anything to him. He nearly did a cartwheel when he saw them arguing the other day, I had to distract him. I know Ginny was only dating others in an attempt to forget about him, it was actually my suggestion. I'm getting near the point where I'm going to lock them both up in a broom closet until one of them admits to liking the other. Her and Dean have even been fighting again, they won't stay together much longer. (Pavarti's excited about that, she's been crushing on Dean forever.)
I did just drag Harry along to help me, and as I've I told you several times before, George, I'm extremely persuasive. Fred and Angelina couldn't say no to me. (Plus they thought it sounded like a fun surprise for you and it meant they got the flat to their selves for a while.)
I have several ways of telling the two of you apart, it's necessary if I'm dating you. (Angelina can tell the difference as well.)
Flying Female,
Hermione (Library lover and Serious skater.)
Ps. I can't think of anything to bet on at the moment, but I might be persuade to give another kiss.
Pps. Of course I'd be your valentine's, the poem was lovely by the way.
