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.

'Mione. It's 12.23 am on Monday morning, I'm knackered but I can't sleep. I had a drink (well, more than one) with Harry, Charlie and George, when I got back home from Hogwarts. I was feeling a bit sorry for myself, but then I felt like a complete git because at least I got to see you at all. So yeah. Harry and Charlie passed out, and George and I talked for a bit. Mainly about Lee and Angelina. I think he's going to write to them – tell the truth, like you said. I wish you'd been here, you're so much better at this emotional stuff than I am. (Hah! Remember the teaspoon? I've got a cauldron full of hot strong something for you now!) He says he doesn't care either way, but he's still angry (so am I!) and it might do him some good.
While I'm here and writing! Harry had an idea but I didn't have time to bring it up yesterday because it's one of those things that needs a private conversation. He said that if we want we can share Grimmauld Place with him and Ginny. Apparently Kreacher gave Ginny the idea (or part of the idea, I don't know, ask her). We could take one floor and they could take another, and the downstairs could be the common area. What do you think? I'm not against the idea, though I don't like the place much ... but Harry said that it needs work, so I 'spose he's going to do work on it? It might not be so bad (I can see advantages).
Anyway, I'd better try and get some sleep or I'll be useless at work. I'll finish this sometime today and send it off before dinner so you've got something to read with Tuesday breakfast.
Love you.

I had to look up agency, because I thought it was like estate or travel, and that didn't make much sense. You've got it a bit wrong (there's a first time for everything). I AM your Ron. Not just the parts I only let you see, but even the ones everyone can. You don't have to worry about my agency, because I know what I'm doing and I don't think it has anything to do with ownership. You're 'Mione (My Knee), and I don't own you – it's an equal thing.
This one has been harder for me too. I think it's because when we said goodbye at the train we (I at least) didn't really know what it was going to be like. I knew it would be hard, yeah, but I didn't really KNOW. But this time, it's only been three weeks (not even that, actually) and we can't see each other for another sixish ... and we know what those three weeks were like. Does that even make sense?
Last night I was thinking of it in MONTHS and that was a really bad idea. Broken down it's not as bad. Six weeks (actually a bit less) until Hogsmeade; another week after that is the first Quiddich for the season (Harry told me at breakfast when he got Ginny's letter), which we'll both come and see. The next Hogsmeade is five weeks later and then a couple of weeks after that is Christmas holidays ... and the year always goes quicker after New Years (I hope!). So with the Hogsmeade weekends and Gryffindor Quiddich we're not doing too badly.
Well, OK. It still stinks – but it's better than 10 months.
Nothing surprises me about Professor McGonagall anymore. Hagrid would get it too – I reckon he's still got something with that Madame Maxime, but it can't really see her giving up on Beauxbaton's to go live in his hut, or him giving up his hut and dangerous (sorry, INTERESTING) creatures to go live in some school in France.
Tell "The Men" (hahahahahaha) that I am the luckiest sod on the planet, but not because Mum's such a good cook (though she is) – and hello to Ginny and Luna (I'll write them something later this week).
Lunch is finished.
I Love you

How NOT to write a fanfic: Listen to Skrap Metal. Watch The Boondock Saints, and follow it up with All Saints Day. Then watch Sweeney Todd and The Passion of The Christ. Start reading The Icarus Agenda. Spend a couple of hours on youtube drooling over Dave Grohl and the way Nate Medel handles his bass.
Note to self: Read Harry Potter books to get back into the right frame of mind!
