Chapter 43
'Good luck, Rosie dear I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time. You and al can tell us all about it at christmas.' Molly Weasley exclaimed as she hugged rose tightly before giving Hugo a quick hug before ensuring that he had joined his mother and father in the floo. Just before rose was allowed to join them her grandparents engulfed her in yet another hug and quietly whispered 'we'll miss you Rosie, and we're proud of you'.
Eventually rose was able to get to the floo where a semi tipsy Ron, and Hermione, were waiting with Hugo before flooing home.
Upon opening her bedroom door rose was greeted by hedi flying towards her.
Although really quite exhausted rose made sure to write her reply before going to bed. It said:
Dear S
Thank you. The library in our house really is my favourite place and I think it should be everyone's. I'm more than happy to give you a hand to make yours warm and comfortable so long as your parents don't mind me helping you redecorate. yes we really do have a lot of books, but most either are my mum's or they were bought for her. She did do some work in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement but both of these were more making the laws rather than the enforcing of them. Oh and you are right our library really is heavenly.
Yeah, writing that list was not fun but if you truly feel you need to know then you should ask. Good luck.
I'm sure people will give you a chance and if not you don't need them anyway. Muggleborns don't count in this case as that's how they were brought up, so of course they know but by the same thing they won't know who you are so why it would bother you about looking like a muggle villain. So there.
You make me smile S. Wether you should be miffed that I said that is up to you, but lets face it you think its true as well.
I know right, I cried for weeks over that broomstick (although that was partly because my mum wouldn't let me get a new one as she decided it was dangerous). It really did hurt and it was also really scary seeing the wall coming closer and closer. I was 6.
Well if they think like that then maybe its for the best, if they can't see the true you and be happy about that then they don't deserve you. Don't every feel like your a disappointment.
hora tempus insquequo susverruca or hour time until Hogwarts, either way that's the incantation.
Thank you, I'm looking forward to meeting you too. Muggle studies? That's an interesting choice. And the difference as well, I hadn't thought of that that is really interesting. You do have a home other than Hogwarts though which is important.
Question 33 answer I really want to work on is cor remeo or soul return as it looked really interesting in the textbook but I would much rather focus on animagi transformations but I doubt we will spend much time on either of them. Why don't you think the draught of living death is very explored? And I also think you are right that does sound like a really warm spell.
Question 34 would you rather be caught by a muggle doing magic or have your memory obliterated of all magic (or some sort of major event in your life)
My answer is probably the obliteration although I wouldn't want to go to Azkaban either.
Yeah ok your dinner doesn't sound that great, I must admit. Did your grandfather really say that about and use the word mudbloods? I mean I don't doubt you but that word is almost unheard of now.
You can only be yourself, and if you end up in Slytherin well great, but if you end up in any of the other houses then that's fantastic too. You are your own person and you carve your own path. So what if you don't become the 25 consecutive Slytherin, they should and I'm sure will still be proud of you. I don't know wether for you this is a good or a bad thing but you don't strike me as a Slytherin, your a good person S, who deserves to be who you want to be. Be different, stand out, don't hide in the shadows of what others say you should be.
Muggles are great and we are much more like them than some seem to think. A willingness to learn about and interact with them can only be a good thing, and I'm sure that soon it will be a good thing. I'm sure muggle studies will be compulsory soon, we don't want or need WW3 and an interest in muggles can only help in making sure that never happens. Don't worry about them, it's not a bad thing to be interested in muggles, let me reassure you. I mean take my granddad for example, he loves all things muggle and he is perfectly fine and normal (well more or less, anyway).
Ahh, family arguments. I don't know about your family but that's one of the best bits of our meals (maybe because we are all so close, so are arguments aren't that bad, even sometimes just joking around). I mean they are a great source of entertainment at the meals (some times me and my cousins bet (either our trading cards and stickers or our different sweets and chocolates) on the arguments, usually beforehand like who's going to start arguing first). However it doesn't seem like that's quite what happened with yours, am I wrong?
this gift sounds nice, apart from the major Slytherin green colour problem, but unless it is charm proof (which is really rare, almost as rare as invisibility cloaks) then you can use a simple(I imagine anyway) colour changing charm to get rid of the Slytherin colour should you not end up there. And the fact it is similar to something they bought your father isn't necessarily a bad thing, although you may be able to transfigure it if it is a major fashion disaster. I'm sure they meant well S.
Well I'm not quite sure I'd put it like that but yes my evening probably was a little better than your 4 hours of apparent boredom.
Ok so it starts of all nice and fine like any other meal and then gets ever so slightly worse as my parents, uncles and aunts and older cousins started to drink as apart from a few arguments as I sort of mentioned just now it went ok until they decided not only to start reminiscing but to get out all of the (embarrassing) family photos. Groan. Anyway they eventually decided to put them away or at least they attempt to.
So a few more drinks later and they were slightly more than tipsy by now decided to play this muggle game my grandfather had last Christmas (they couldn't play it then, so why ever they thought it would be a good idea today I don't know, especially in their stat(although to be fair it was probably the slightly drunk state they were in that made them want to play it)). So this game was called LOGO and it was a sort of trivia board game, I don't know wether you've head of it? The game I'm sure you've guessed was an utter disaster, but still.
There was a little more than that but that was probably the longest parts of the evening and therefore the most important parts.
Night (or I guess it could be good morning) S
Love from
R
P.s time until Hogwarts is 1 day, 22 hours, 45 minutes and 27.5 seconds
