Dear Angelina,
Yeah, I heard about those rioters! (But to your benefit, I only heard about them a few hours before I opened your letter. You know that you'll always be my number one reporter!) Some fans sure are crazy, especially those Australians! And Ron, of course, as soon as he saw that this bet we had going was not going to go well for him.
I had this great idea earlier this afternoon! We should sell life-size cannons that shoot glitter, candy, fireworks, and other nonsensical items! I'm betting that they would not only be a great hit for those who enjoy the art of pranking and being mischievous, but also for parties! Just think, glitter cannons! You could set them off, and it would fuel the atmosphere! What do you think? Ron says that they wouldn't sell because we would have to market them so expensively because of the amount of material required to make them, but I think people would be willing to pay a large amount for a cannon that shoots objects of your choice! We could always buy the used cannons off the customers' hands, so we could reuse them! Before we start this line, I want to know what you think about it. Do you think they would be too expensive? Is there a market for seventeenth century Muggle devices that explode magical items?
I miss having you around. You always make everything happier. I love you so much.
Love,
George

Dear George,
Why you ever sold that little boy all of those fireworks is completely beyond me! As much fun as Filibuster's can be, they can also be quite dangerous. They have a high rate of going off when they aren't supposed to because of their high flammability rate. You of all people should know that. Don't tell me that you forgot about that one time when one went off in your pants during your seventh year when you were trying to sneak three whole crates of them past Umbridge and her little Slytherin minions. Don't try to deny it; I was standing right behind you and I helped extinguish your pants.
The Harpies' seeker is almost back to playing condition. The healers say that she should be back on the field by tomorrow afternoon at around four o'clock. I practically celebrated when I heard the news. Not only has this game been going on for far too long, but I also miss you a lot. If the Harpies win tomorrow, (I expect that they will) you can expect me to be home around ten tomorrow. I've been assigned to some post game interviews with about half of the Australian team, so that's what might be holding me up if I'm late. I've also got a meeting with my editor, so that might drag it out even more. Who knew that coverage of a Quidditch match didn't actually end after the snitch was caught?
Anyway, I love you, and I miss you. Hopefully the post-game coverage won't tie me up for too long.
Love,
Angelina
