Inviting Hermione

Mum says that she asked Dad, who asked Dumbledore, who says it's fine if Hermione comes on holiday with us. Why is it okay if Hermione comes, but not Harry? Let's see, what's the difference...what would make their holiday with us different so as it would be better if they didn't come. Oh...yeah...

You-Know-Who.

Wanker.

Well, Dad says I can write to her, but can't tell her we're coming to get her. He says that Moody, yes that's right, Mad-Eye Moody, says the owl might be intercepted and we could be ambushed. Honestly, now Moody knows about our holiday. All this might mean that it's important, or perhaps, we're going on holiday with Moody and Dumbledore...no... don't think about it Ron, it does not sound as if we are going to Hogwarts over summer vacation.

I guess I'll just have to hint at it then...hmm.

Dear Hermione

Hope your having a good summer. Talked to Harry lately? Everything here is fine, Fred and George made my ears turn blue and grow bigger than my head, but otherwise it's been quiet and boring. Mum and Dad are working really hard. Ginny, Bill and Charlie are fine, Ginny says "hi". We're going on holiday soon, maybe you could join us.

See you soon

Ron

Yeah, that looks good. It says see you soon, so it kind of hints to her that we'll be coming, and Hermione is smart, she'll understand I can't say it outright. I hope she can come, if I have to spend the entire summer alone with Dumbledore, Moody, Fred and George, and now Ginny, I think I'll just keel over.

And it probably won't be my fault, if I do.
