Chapter 19 - Pig's Delivery

Majenta was home at last. Her final year at Hogwarts was now complete, and for all she knew she might never even see her school again. She felt so grown up and adult-like. She had a wonderful family, a boyfriend who loved her, job prospects on the way, and she was going to be 18 and able to apparate anywhere in under a month!

Majie had put a spell on the dishes so they would wash themselves ("very useful" her mother had said), and was helping make breakfast when suddenly an owl flew through the window. This was no ordinary owl though, it was a tiny minute owl that had a large letter attached to its left foot. She immediately recognized it was from Ron. It fluttered in front of Majie, allowing her barely enough time to untie the letter and move her hands back before it began to fly excitedly around the room. Majie's mother let out a cry seeing this crazy little owl fluttering about.

"Don't worry mum, it's only Pig, Ron's owl."

"Pig?!" Her mother exclaimed. "My goodness, I think it's insane!"

Majie let out a laugh, extending her hand towards the owl. "Com'er Pig," she called, while reaching into a small bag of owl treats reserved for her own owl, Clymar. The tiny owl landed on her hand and nipped her fingers affectionately before eating one treat at a time from her hand. "You be sure to be a good owl for Ron," She told Pig, then she pet its little head and kissed its beak before letting it fly back off through the window.

"Well," said Majie, sitting down at her kitchen table to open the letter from Ron. "Let's see what Ron has to say."


Dear Majie,

I'm sorry about Pig, I tried to get one of my brother's owls to send you this letter but they insisted I should just use my own. In any case, mum wanted me to owl you to say that your family is invited to our house next Saturday! My whole family will be here, even Bill and Charlie! It's not the best house but it suites us, probably not nearly as nice as yours I'm sure. Dad says you should bring some muggle devices since your mum is one (my dad likes collecting muggle things). In any case we will be having lunch around noon if you could get here by then. I miss you and can't wait to see you!

Love,
Ron


Majie looked up from the letter, a broad grin on her face.

"Well, what is it?" Her mother asked.

"It's from Ron, he says next Saturday we're all invited to his house for lunch!"

"Oh that's wonderful! Augusto, did you hear that? The Weasley's have invited us over on Saturday!"

"Ahh," Majie's father smiled at his wife and daughter. "They seemed like a jolly ol' lot, a jolly ol' lot indeed. It will be nice to see them again."

"Yes it will," Majie smiled again at the letter. "Well I'm going to my room to write him a reply."

"Alright dear, just be sure to come out and eat your breakfast once you've finished."


Dear Ron,

Mum, Pops and I will be glad to come to your family's house this Saturday. It sounds as if it will be quite lively with your whole family there! It will be nice to see everyone again.

I was really glad to hear from you. Pig gave mum quite a start, but I think that silly little owl likes me. I guess animals seem to like me. (Whatever happened to that friendly dog of Harry's?) Any way, I can't wait to see you either, this Saturday will be great! I love you and I miss you.

Majie


She folded the letter up and opened the door to her tawny owl, Clymar's, cage. "Here ya go buddy," she said before kissing his beak and setting him off through the window. "Saturday..." she sat back and thought.
