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.

Thanks Brat

He didn't say a word, but he get's that look, you know? Now don't YOU worry, he'll be fine and I'll keep an eye on him until he goes. I don't know how it's going to work when he's away during the week, but he'll be here on weekends so I think it'll be alright.

About the homework, yeah, that can be a problem. If it's getting too much only do what you REALLY have to for week, and ease off the extra stuff (or stick to just reading, it's easy to doze off).

Everything here is good. You didn't get any undercurrents 'cause there are no undercurrents to be got.

Love

Lunch Room

Weasley's Wizarding Wheezers

'Mione

All I want to do is go home, have something to eat and then go to bed. No, that's not true actually. What I WANT to do is sit on front of the fire like we usually do, and you can read one of your books while I either talk to George or play chess with Harry (or both).

It's been a bit of a day. Not a bad one or anything, just a busy one. I couldn't even tell you what happened, it just WAS.

I did end up talking to George over lunch though, and yeah, the smart-arsed git had figured us out. No surprise there. He's also going to try figure out something to get HER off the hallway wall. Between the two of you, the old bag doesn't have a hope.

Good on Nev and Hannah, that's all I can say. Harry tells me that Ginny has christened Seamus "That Irish Man-Tart" and from what you said that sounds about right. I had to laugh about you reminding Dean and Valerie about the Room of Requirement – I'm sure it must be against some sort of rule, but Dean's not stupid and will probably remember in his own time.

There's this woman who keeps on coming into the shop for skiving snack-boxes, at least once a week and sometimes twice. I thought she might fancy Charlie or something (she's probably in her 30's), but I don't think that's it because she doesn't seem to care who serves her. Has there been a rise in the rate of skiving kids at Hogwarts? Somehow I don't think there's a big black market in them or anything, but it's a bit strange. I pointed it out to George and he can't think of anything either, but he reckons it's odd too.

Anyway, lunch is finished so I'd better get back to it.

Did you know that if I imagine it hard enough, I can almost feel your hair?

I love you

Ron

Chaos Central

A gift for my two best girls.

Your lovelorn wanker boyfriends gave me the idea for this, although they don't know it; I'll tell you that it took some doing (not in the least the consumption of some seriously dodgy firewhiskey with Aberforth), and it was all cloak and dagger stuff, so they've got no idea.

Ginny, yours is the one with the indigo frame (I still think it's purplish blue, but if you say it's called indigo I'll take your word for it) because I know it's your favourite colour.

Hermione, yours is the sunset one (again, orange in my opinion, but what do I know?) because you seem to like having orange things attached to your person.

I've made them unbreakable, so everything should be roses.

Percy helped with this, so we both expect your eternal love and devotion forever and ever amen.

Because I'm a natural born showman, I'll be putting two wrapped brown packages in front of the aforementioned lovelorn wanker boyfriends at breakfast – around the time you both should be reading this letter. I suggest that you open your packages right NOW, and you'll know what to do.

Love

Genius George (and Perfect Percy)
