Letter #3 - Lots of good news... (June 27, 1999)

Dearest Mum,

Wow. So many things have happened since my last letter and for once, it's all been good news. So, the question is...where do I even begin?

First off, we're suspecting Fleur's around 13 weeks now. I'm not good with things like that so I just go on here say and all that. They do know they're having a little girl and they've decided to call her Molly Ginerva Fleur Weasley. How precious is that, Mum? They're having their own little Molly! Bill's ecstatic about it all. He can't believe he's going to be a father and he's already in a panic about what to do and what not to do. It's funny to watch him be all flustered and worried. Dad just grins at him.

Secondly, Ron woke up a few days after my last letter to you. Harry and Hermione were with him when it happened. I was home with Dad to make him rest for a bit. We got the fire-call from Harry about an hour after he was awake. Dad hugged him so hard and both had trouble letting go. For the first time since all of this happened, Ron cried. I was relieved, as was Dad and the others. As of today, Ron's recovery is better and better. He's doing therapy and it helps him recover quite well. Hermione still doesn't leave his side.

There is more good news, Mum, and I'm sure you'll be happy to hear about this. Harry defeated He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named a week ago. I was on the battlefield when it happened. It was a great day in the wizarding world. A celebration was held all throughout Hogsmeade for Harry and all those involved in the final battle. It was long, hard, and it was all worth it.

More news about Harry, Mum. You ready for it? -grins- This is the coolest part, I think. After the official ceremony, right in front of everyone, Harry kissed Professor Snape right on the lips! It was great to see all the shocked looks on everyone's faces, Mum. I knew there was more than met the eye with those two. Ha! Bill owes me a favor now because he lost the bet. I am so good, aren't I?

Tonight, we're having the Weasley celebration. All of the professors will be here, as will most of the survivors of the Order. We've had a banner made up with all those we have lost in the battle: You, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Neville, Luna, Lavendar, Parvarti, Padma, and the many others. Professor Dumbledore is going to honor all of the fallen with a special naming ceremony. He's asked for a statue be made and placed in front of Hogwarts for all to see, and to remember.

Now, for more of the news and the biggest yet...for me anyway. I haven't told Dad or anyone else about this, but I will do that tonight with Seamus. Since I'm no longer in school and I graduated top of the class, on graduation night, Seamus asked me to marry him and I said yes. We're going to be married at the end of the summer, or so we hope. He got an offer in Ireland that he can't turn down. It's a wonderful position for him and he wants me to be with him. I just couldn't say no. I love him so much.

I'm hoping Dad and the boys will be ok about the news, and about my leaving. I know it's rough on all of us, but with the war out of the way, I don't see how this could be a bad thing. We already plan to visit each weekend and I refuse to go more than a week without seeing Dad. I need him more now than ever before. I doubt I could stop seeing him all together.

Ok, Mum. Another good ending to another letter. I do hope you are all well and safe in your world. I miss you terribly and I'll keep you updated about what's going on. Hopefully, it won't be such a long time between letters.

I love you and please give kisses to my brothers for me.

Your loving daughter,
Ginerva Weasley
