A Lost Letter

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Dear Harry,

Why haven't you been responding to my letters? I've written you more times than I can count this summer, and you still haven't sent me a single letter back! I had been thinking that it was Errol's fault (he's our ancient owl), but I understand that you haven't been writing to anyone else, either. If you don't get back to me soon, then I don't know what I'll do-- but whatever it is, it'll be drastic.

Well, assuming that you receive this letter, I'll tell you what's been happening around here: absolutely nothing! Oh, Percy's locked himself up in his room, reading "Prefects and Their Later Careers"--him and his self love, honestly! I'm telling you, if we're not careful, we'll have another Head Boy in the family--maybe even another Voldemort--he's very ambitious, and extremely arrogant.

Ginny won't shut up about you--she's your ultimate fan! She's so in love with you that it's sickening, you'll have to see for yourself, if you can come over sometime. I've been asking you all summer, and I'm going to ask again: can you come over to my house?! If the muggles will let you it'd be great! We could even practice Quidditch, and maybe you'd let me try out your Nimbus 2000 (all I've got is a very dated Shooting Star).

Hermione is obsessing over her holiday schoolwork, but I don't think I'll even start mine until the day we go back, how about you? Then again, Hermione's work is always so long, it'd take forever to get the load finished, and she would have to start it right away.

Well, if you don't write me back this time, don't be surprised if a flying car shows up at your bedroom window--I told you it'd be drastic.

There's no more to say here, hope to hear from you (if not I will see you) soon!!

Your friend,
Ron
