Chapter Twenty Eight - Owl
The closer it got to Christmas, the more the seed of homesickness grew in George. The reason he have not gone back was only one: Kagome. He knew if he go back to England, all the problems he had fled from would hit him and he won't have a schedule to come to Japan again. He thought about bringing the topic of her going with him several times. Things were not very well at her job since that Harada have been promoted and paid extra attention to her. Also, with the changing season she have been very sick lately, to the point of missing work for several days straight.
He just got back from the market when Kagome pointed him an owl over the kotatsu.
"It was knocking the window so I let him in to stay somewhere warm. If I'm right, it's Errol."
It was Errol, his family's old trustworthy owl, and it was carrying a large message attached to it's leg. George put the groceries away before greeting the owl. "Hello, old friend. You came pretty far this time." He put a bowl of water and some nuts for the bird after picking the letter. It was from his mother, asking about him, when he's going back and updates from his family.
"My niece is to be born in late April or early may. Ginny is graduating in early July and marrying in the same month, Ron and Percy will tie the knots few weeks after."
"Wow, what a busy year Johji will have." No matter what, she always find her humor to tease him.
"WE will have. You are coming with me, right?" she nodded weakly, probably to avoid the dizziness her sickness was causing. His mother asked if he was going back home for Christmas, only four days ahead. Kagome said she don't mind Christmas, that her culture valued much more the New Year's Festival but he didn't have the heart to make her travel the way she was, much less leaving her by herself. His family would have to endure this year without him.
Not owning an owl, George never wrote to his family in all the months he have been in Japan. Even back in his school days, he and Fred never bothered to send a letter, so in his quick response, he barely stated that he was well, not going back for Christmas and confirming his presence in the next year's events.
