To:
Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger
That's great!
Oh my, I
can't believe he actually asked you out! I'm surprised, guys have
a strong sense of pride that usually means they take a long time to
ask someone they like out, in case their ego is deflated. He must
really like you! It took your brother six years to finally tell me to
my face that he thought I was 'beautiful'.
I must wonder
though, what about Adam?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Hermione Granger - Soon to be Weasley Ginny Weasley - Boo! I'm not getting married Adam the Spasm's crush
I
really don't want to know how my brother made it up to you for not
telling you earlier!
My sides are splitting in laughter. That's
not funny you know, I feel really bad now. Not wanting to sound
big-headed but do you think Adam'll be upset? I hope not. I know I
think he's an idiot with a crush on an older woman (he could be my
toy-boy lover) but that doesn't mean every woman will. True, they'd
have to be blind and probably deaf (to put up with the squeaking-
high voice "Er, hi, heeeee, I uh, like you, maybe.") but I'm
sure someone could see through that and concentrate on his, uh, good
features. Like, erm, his ability to er, well I can't really think
of any that's not the point. I'm sure that someone will like
him.
Hey, do you think Abby might? She's been ranting on about
how she 'hates being single' apparently it's 'sooooooo boring
and incredibly strange' god, she annoys me. I told her she talks
about herself way too much but I think she thought I was
joking, even though I wasn't smiling. I was deadly serious, but
whatever, I don't want to bitch, it's mean.
So what do you
think should wear? I still can't believe he asked me out. Wait a
minute, do you think I'm getting too worked up? After all it's
only a date, isn't it? He won't be as bothered as me I'm sure.
Why would he? I'm so self-obsessed, I keep going on about this
date when I don't even really know him. I'm
sorry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger You're not!
I'm sure
Abby would. Anything that's body is packed with Testosterone and is
in fully working order she'll be all over like a rash in about 0-3
seconds.
You're not self-obsessed! If you are, I'll tell you!
Worrying about this date is perfectly normal. After all you like this
guy right? So you want to look nice for him, that's understandable,
but just relax okay?
Your date's tomorrow so you've got
tonight to pick out what you want to wear and if you want tomorrow
I'll come round before your big night to help you get ready! (I'm
ignoring that comment you made about Ron and
me.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Hermione Granger - Soon to be Weasley Ginny Weasley - Boo! I'm not getting married Thanks
Thanks, that'd
help so much. I'll tell Abby, (evil grin) I'm sure she'll
just 'loooove' him, or scare him into hiding, not sure which but
I'm guessing on the latter. Heeee, destroyer of world laugh that
goes something like, mwahahaahaa god I just love being evil, it's
so fun!
Seriously though, I think I should set them up, it'd
get Abby from whining so much (I hope) and stop Adam from looking at
me in a way I want to puke (which happens a lot unfortunately).
Is
that being a bit selfish?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Harry Potter Robert Fine Your mental health
That's
right, you keep telling yourself that if it makes you happy.
Sarah
wants to know if you want to come over on Friday night, she says she
needs some moral support. Apparently I keep treating her like 'she's
gonna break,' god, they have a go at you for not being 'sensitive'
and when you do worry they want you to stop! At this rate I'll be
the one needing moral
support.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Robert Fine Harry Potter Re: Your mental health
Keeping
you on your toes is she? Sorry mate I can't. Got a date, you know I
told you I was going round to Lupin's next door neighbour to talk
about the cats? Well it turns out she's really nice and pretty so
were gonna go to Diagon Alley.
You'll have to watch out for
Sarah, make sure she doesn't throw a brick at you like last time,
but, if she does be sure to record
it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Harry Potter Robert Fine Sarah
I'll get you back for
that! She better not, but I think this time she might hex me, she's
been holding onto her wand much more than last time, when she didn't
have her wand on her. I'll have to watch my
step.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Harry Potter Joseph and Megan HI!
HI UNCLE
HARRY. DADDY SET THIS ADDRESS UP FOR US. HE SAID THAT YOU ARE'NT
COMING TO SEE US ON FRIDAY. SO HE SAID WE CAN TALK TO YOU THIS WAY.
MUMMY IS GETTING ANGRY AT DADDY. SHE SAID THAT HE FUSSES TO MUCH.
IT'S
FUNNY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Robert Fine Harry Potter Re: Sarah
Is that the best you
got? Getting your kids to terrorise my mail box? I thought you'd
think of something better than
that!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Harry Potter Robert Fine Don't get too smarmy
You wait
till they demand why you don't reply quickly enough. You'll be
begging me to take their account away, like a little puppy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger No…
Not at all. Stop
worrying. It'll be good for them to have someone to annoy and look
at funny.
So are you prepared? I'll be over at
6.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Hermione Granger - Soon to be Weasley Ginny Weasley - Boo! I'm not getting married I think I'm all set
Yeah,
then hopefully they'd be too tired to practice on me and you! Wait
a minute, I haven't actually asked them if they want to go on a
date together yet! I'll have to do that now! I think I got a little
too carried away with the possibilities there, oops.
I think I'm
all set. I remembered the little list Helen (a girl from Hufflepuff)
told me.
The Things To Take On A First Date!
1)
Mints (No chewing gum 'cos you'll have to take it out or forget
too)
2) Money (He won't want to pay for the entire date by
himself)
3) Cover Up (In case he makes you cry)
4) Tissues
(Same reason as 3 and also if you don't like the food you can hide
it in one of them, so as not to make him think your picky)
5) Floo
Powder (If he turns out to be a complete psychopathic weirdo who you
need to get away from but can't Apparate)
6) A pair of
knickers/panties (I don't think I'll be needing these, its only
our first date!)
7) Wand (This one's obvious)
8) Lipgloss (To
make lips
irresistible)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger Helen Slut
By any chance
was this Helen girl a bit of a slut? A pair of panties on the FIRST
date? That screams only one
stereotype.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Adam Ginny Weasley A girl called Abby
Hi, Adam,
sorry I was a bit short with you earlier in the week. There's a
girl I know, who's really nice, called Abby. I've told her all
about you, all good of course, and she wants to know if your free
Saturday night to go on a date. I've sent you an attachment of her
picture to help you decide if you want to, mail me back with the
answer.
Thanks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Hermione Granger - Soon to be Weasley Ginny Weasley Adam and Abby
More
than a bit.
Stage 1 of 'Getting Adam and Abby Together' has
commenced.
I told him she wants to go on a date with him, I
hope she doesn't say she doesn't want too and that Adam says
yes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger Re: Adam and Abby
Abby,
resist going on another date? Don't worry it won't happen.
I'm sure Adam will, even if it's only to prove to the guys in
Editing that he's not
gay.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Abby Ginny Weasley A guy named Adam
Hey,
Abby.
There's a guy I know from work called Adam. I told him all
about you, and he thinks it would be a good idea for you guys to hook
up. He wants to know if you'll consider going out with him on
Saturday night. I've sent you a picture of him to help you choose.
Tell me your
answer.
Thanks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Hermione Granger - Soon to be Weasley Ginny Weasley - Boo! I'm not getting married True
That's true. What
with the match-making over with and just waiting for their answers, I
think I'll go home and get ready for my date. YAY!
I'll see
you at
6.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Hermione Granger - Soon to be Weasley Ginny Weasley - Boo! I'm not getting married The DATE!
I'm REALLY happy. The date went very well. During the middle it wasn't so good, but at the end it was! I'll tell you what happened!
So,
after you left, at 7 he arrived. He looked very handsome, I can tell
you and he suggested we Apparate to Diagon Alley (we wouldn't get
covered in soot like we would if we flooed, which is really
annoying).
When we got there we went to a restaurant called 'Fine
Cuisine for Fine People', I know you'll have a go at me for not
going to Ron's newly opened restaurant but I didn't want him to
recognise me, he'd probably torment Harry with his 'I'm one of
her big brother's' speech (and I wanted to leave by 10).
So,
anyway it was really easy to talk to Harry. It's like I've known
him longer than only a few days and we got on really well. He was
telling me about his travelling when an owl came swooping into the
restaurant and landed in his food (which splattered on him) with a
letter tied to it's leg.
I was really surprised, it must have
been urgent or the owl would of just dropped the letter off at his
place, not follow him.
Anyway, he looked at the letter and went
really, really pale, I know what people mean now when they say
'deathly white'. I was really worried about him and so asked what
was wrong. Instead of saying anything he just handed me the letter,
which I looked at gingerly. It went something like this:
(Address
of Mungo's)
Dear Mr Potter,
It is our sad duty to inform you
that your uncle's condition has taken a turn for the worse,
resulting in him being close to death. It would be appropriate for
you to come visit him as soon as possible in case he passes away.
We
are very sorry to have to inform you by owl, but you were not
attainable by Floo Powder.
I look had looked up at him. He had looked so helpless and innocent. Seeing him look like that made my heart start to crack. I felt so awful for him, imagine getting that news, I don't think I'd be able to bear it.
He said he needed to get to St.Mungo's. I agreed, he needed to see his uncle. I asked if he wanted me to come with him for support, he looked like he needed it, and to my surprise he said yes. I hadn't expected him to say that, I just wanted him to know that I was there if he needed me.
So, when we got to St.Mungo's he went into Lupin's
room for a while and I waited outside. I didn't think it would be a
good idea to go in and see Remus with Harry. It was his uncle, he'd
need time by himself with him, I'm just the next-door neighbour.
After a while, he came back out and sat down next to me. We
talked quietly, not wanting to wake up the patients, about nothing
really in particular.
After what seemed like many hours a
healer came to see Harry. She said that Lupin was now doing well,
they'd managed to stop his condition getting worse, and return him
to health, but that they didn't know why, in the first place, Lupin
had suddenly gotten so ill. Apparently he was fine earlier in the
day, then, after visiting time, he'd abruptly become very unwell,
unwell enough for the healers to fear his life would be taken from
him.
Harry looked so relieved that his uncle was now okay, his
eyes full of joy but there was also confusion there too. Why would
Remus become ill for no apparent reason?
He left to go talk
with Remus now he was awake and returned about half an hour later.
He
thanked me for being so supportive and said he really appreciated it.
Then, he asked me if I wanted to go on another date with him later in
the week, this time hopefully with no detours to the hospital. I had
to smile wryly at that, and told him it was no trouble and that I'd
love to go on a date with him. He then leaned in and kissed me!
I'll admit not the most romantic date, but who
cares?
