Ginny still sat on the floor. She nudged at Fred to wake up. He was dosing off in the middle of the hallway.
"Did we get any mail today?"
Fred nodded and pointed to Percy, then returned to his slumber.
"Percy!" Ginny called out, trying to get Percy to look her way. He pulled the phone from his ear and gave her a look that said "can't you see I'm on the phone?"
"Percy, where's the mail?" He tossed it over to her, and she glanced through it. A couple of letters from relatives about recent family updates, and also one from Mom and Dad, one from Charlie and one from Harry. Harry!? She hadn't heard from him in a long time.. What was he up to?? She decided to read Mom and Dad's first.
Dear Bill, Percy, Fred and George, my little Ginny and Ron,
Your father and I are very concerned about all six of you. I am on my way this very instant from Egypt visiting Charlie to go and consult the doctors about what can be done. I know they wouldn't have started anything without me and dad present, and if so, I hope it isn't life threatening.
Charlie sent his own letter I believe, and his concerns are listed in there.
You all must get some sleep and be careful in Kensington. I know he is being treated well there. I will see you as soon as I may arrive.
Mom and Dad
Ginny glanced up. She was the only one awake. Sydney had passed out on a pillow in the middle of the hallway not to far from Fred, and George fell asleep with his magazine open. Percy was still blabbing away talking about how Ron's funeral would be horrible. She gave a royally pissed off look to Percy. He always had to be the center of attention. With his badge and his girlfriend. God. She reached for the one from Charlie.
Dear Twins and Ginny, (most likely the only ones who care to read this)
I only say that because I know Bill is probably sleeping and Percy doesn't give a love potion whether I'm alive. I just wrote this to assure Mum that everything would be fine. She started going ballistic and driving Dad up the wall about six days ago.
Poor Ron, I know he'll come out of this soon enough. I heard that Harry is engaged, but I'm not sure in the rumors are true. Please tell me its to our very own, Ginny? Let me know.
Your brother, Charlie
She smiled a sad smile after reading, and noticed part of the paper had once been on fire. She assumed it was those bloody dragons he looks after.
Finally she got to the last one, Harry's. She was extremely nervous to read what was going on, hoping that he wasn't getting married. He was only a few years older than she was.
Dear Ginny and Twins, Mr and Mrs, Ron, Percy, Bill and Charlie,
I bear lovely news. I am engaged to a beautiful woman, Lavender Brown, and am to be married to her on this June 21st day, at Kensington National Canadian Park, at 4 in the afternoon. The reception follows at 7:15 at Lavender's house. I would love for all of you to join me at this wonderful day of my life.
Harry
Ginny was in shock. Didn't he know that Ron was in a coma? And why was he getting married to THAT witch?? She nudged Fred and told him to get up. They had to devise a plan.
"So what exactly do I get out of this?" Fred grumbled, rubbing his eyes.
"Destiny. Or a chance with her." Fred looked up, amazed her sister had stated the obvious.
"What's your deal, then? Getting revenge on Mr Potter?"
She put her hair up in a pony tail and nodded. "That's exactly what I'm doing."
