I do not own Harry Potter. I have nothing to do with Scholastic, Warner Bros or Bloomsbury. I'm not JKR and I am certainly not making any profit out of this.

The Burrow
So they're talking about us, are they? Gits.
I was going to write you a nice long letter tonight, to make up for that three word wonder I shot off this morning (that owl was not happy about having to wait for me), but I'm knackered.
Today I ended up covered in gold and pink sticky stuff. What it's for, I've got no clue – hair or something, I think George said, but it was hard to tell because the prat was laughing so much. I'm still sparkling when I'm in the light, it's an interesting look and pink REALLY isn't my colour ... although Harry and Charlie seem to think that it's "fetching". Gits.
I had a really good day anyway (you really know how to write a letter, Hermione.)
I asked Percy (he came to the shop for lunch) about the two weekends; and he said that they definitely didn't do that when he was Head Boy, and he's a bit jealous. I hope you're OK with those dates, I was in a rush this morning (we were literally just about to floo out when the owl came), because I REALLY want to see you – and I want to give you your birthday present in person. I've already told George that I'm not going to be working on the Hogsmeade weekends, and he's fine with that ... as long as he gets to come along to the Halloween one, because he misses you too, and he wants to talk to Nev about something (maybe you should warn him?).
Harry asked if I could go with him to visit Teddy on Fridays. You know how he always took Ginny, but he can't for now, so this Friday just gone he went on his own. He said it was fine and all, but he wants someone to keep Andromeda company when he plays with Teddy. I don't know. George said I can take Fridays after lunch off, as long as I stay an extra hour on the other days and help with inventory. No problem there, it's only an extra hour, you know?
BUT (I feel an utter git saying this) I'm not sure about Andromeda. She's nice and all, and I like her, it's just that sometimes she looks a bit too much like Bellatrix and it freaks me out. Which I KNOW is totally unfair because she's nothing at all like that bitch ... but yeah, just for a second when I first see her I remember stuff that I'd really rather forget. I'll go, because Harry asked and Teddy is cute, and Andromeda probably DOES need company, but if you've got any thoughts on how I could get over that other stuff that would be good.
Ugh. I'd much rather think about our holiday that we're going to take!! Cardiff and Cardigan, definitely, because of why you said. LOVE the cottage idea. What about Ireland? Dad's got second cousins in Killarney (touristy!) and there's a lot of early wizarding history in the area. Is there anywhere else you'd really like to go?
Before I forget!
No, I don't leave your letters lying around (living in this house taught me that!!) so say whatever you want.
AND YES, I took my shirt off (Entertained? Does that mean what I think it means??? If it does, it'll keep me busy for AGES!!).
"Just you, me and nature?"
Music to my ears (or eyes, although at doesn't actually make SENSE). Just you, me and the middle of the motorway would do me at the moment. Merlin.
I'd say more, but I don't know if it's a good idea – have you got some sort of tongue tying thing we can put on these (or eye stinging, maybe?) so that no one else can read them ... on the other hand, maybe I should just try my hand at poetry and Seamus can recite them to the Great Hall over breakfast. That would cure them!
I miss you, 'Mione.
Love
Ron.
Well, we're getting there slowly. Thanks for the reviews, great stuff.
