A/N: Charlie was always interesting to me—and no one ever writes him with Percy!
The first letter is a bit before PS, I guess, the second during OotP, and the last at the end of DH—before the epilogue.
Disclaimer: The sunlight is purely fictional! xD At least, right now it is!
Prompt: Sun
"Dear Percy,
Hey, mate. It's Charlie. Of course.
How're you? How's Hogwarts without your big brother?
Tell Mum not to worry—I'm fine, and she's getting a detailed description of life here as soon as I'm not busy!
The dragons are amazing, Perce—you should see them! They're big and multi-coloured—so much cooler than the ones in the Hogwarts books. I've started learning all about them and their names. I love them, actually. All of them. I know how soppy that sounds, but I can't help it—I'm a man in love!
The guys here are pretty nice, but all the women seem to be intent on hitting on any new guy that comes. Plus, they're all disgusting, either not showering or putting on way too much makeup…
Everyone's supposedly in awe of me, or so my new mate Gordon tells me. He's American—you should hear him talk! But anyway, because I'm right out of school, they say I'm some phenomenon. Hah. Yeah right. I'm just some bloke who loves dragons enough to waste his last teenage years on them!
The sun here, Percy—you'd love it. You'd want to study it, but all I want to do is bask in it. It's never rainy over here. It's always sunny and dry and beautiful. Come move in with me and the guys when you finish school, yeah?
So…yep, that's life in Romania right now.
I know you probably didn't want to hear all that (or read, I suppose), but I couldn't write Bill—he and I never poured for hours over dragon textbooks when we were supposed to be asleep!
Write me soon, little brother—I'm all alone out here, and Mum won't give me a sensible reply!
Tell Ginny I love her and miss her, tell Bill not to die somehow (like he obviously will) and tell the twins to stay out of trouble. As for Ron—tell him he'd like it here. It's just sunny enough for him.
Charlie."
"Percy—
Stop being such a fucking prat! Go tell Mum and Dad you're sorry, and stop being a Ministry-loving idiot!
Tell Fred and George that they're right—for once.
No, strike that, because they'll attack you…
But anyway, just stop it! Let your idiocy go for once!
C."
"It's true, then, isn't it?
Fred's gone.
Right?
I know I'm right.
Fuck.
How did this happen?
Why Fred?
It doesn't make any sense! It should have been someone else standing by that wall!
The sun's gone today. Gordon says he'll cover for me here, and I'm coming home.
Congratulations on stopping being such an idiot just at the right time.
If you don't get this before I come home, then—I'll tell you in person."
