Seriously Sorcerous!

[alt_ron]

We're going to visit Charlie at the dragon preserve!

I mean, that's well stupe, innit!!!!!!!!

Dad just found out for sure yesterday, and Mum's going spare, trying to get everything ready. But that's a'right. Just gives her an excuse for going mental about who left their shoes in the hall or their brooms on the steps or forgot to put the gobstones back in their room or left a glass on some table somewhere.

I'm totally going to fly with dragons! Dead wizard!! Hey, Stretton! I'm taking the Silver Arrow along. Dragons should test whether those boosters worked, innit.

The twins have got big plans, too. I don't what they're up to, but Mum's cottoned onto it, and she went shouty crackers at them this morning. At 7 o'clock in the bleedin' morning, too. I mean, honestly, who gets up that early on Sundays? And then she got all the rest of us up and made us get all our laundry down for washing and made Percy get all the luggage down from the attics.

Ginny's still got to have her robes lengthened and Mum's got to buy her books, so I guess they're going to Diagon Alley tomorrow, maybe. And Mum's worried about whether Mrs Diggory will be able to come by and feed the chickens and goats while we're gone, and anytime anyone gets crosswise with her, she says they could be left back to take care of the animals since someone has to do it.

Anywiz, we leave on Wednesday, and I can't wait!!!

That's brilliant, Ron!!

I hope the Silver Arrow performs just like it ought to. Make sure you don't get hurt or something, because it'd put quite a damper your start of term if you were all chewed up and scorched and everything!

Seriously, though, be careful tunaface.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Heh.

Sorry I didn't write back yesterday. Mum took my book and made me go out and clean out the chicken coop and then repaint it. By hand. With a brush.

I don't know if she was cheesed off about what I said about her or about the fact I answered Patil back. Hard to tell with Mum, and she's really extra wound up with trying to get everything sorted for going away. Mind you, it wouldn't be any different if we'd had weeks to get ready. That just would've meant weeks of her going spare and making everyone work six times harder on chores.

Well. She's not as bad as I probably make it sound. And she did make an awesome dinner last night cause it was Percy's birthday.

Anywiz, I'll tell you all about the dragon preserve when we get back.

See you on the train, Fisheye!

Heh. Sounds like your mum alright.

We'll be sure to sit together so you can tell me everything.

It's probably a good job Marvolo isn't going with you. With you anywhere nearby, he'd be liable to get eaten by a dragon.

Private Message to Padma

[alt_pansy]

You'd better not joke too much about that sort of thing where everyone can read it, Padma. We all know Ron doesn't want to hurt Harry, but there are lots of people reading these things that don't.

Re: Private Message to Padma

[alt_padma]

Don't you know it's rude to write private messages in other people's journals?

Besides, I don't think he'd want to hurt Harry, but that doesn't mean he's not sort of a bad luck hex. Still, as is, I think the only person liable to get eaten up there is Weasley himself. Imagine trying to fly a broom around a dragon!

Re: Private Message to Padma

[alt_pansy]

Well, this is important.

I mean, I know you aren't besties or anything, and I'm not saying this just because I'm his friend. But people can get into serious trouble because of rumours.

And it's not like Harry hasn't gotten into serious danger when Draco or that mudblood of his was around, probably more than when he's been around Ron even. But because of rumours, a bunch of Aurors came over to Ron's house and questioned him for hours.

So saying things like that have serious consequences. Not just with reputations at school and stuff.

Re: Private Message to Padma

[alt_padma]

Well, if Aurors have already asked him questions about Harry, and he's not had anything to do with the trouble, really, then he doesn't have anything to worry about and they'll know it's all in fun.

But if they did come and talk to him in the first place, then it's obvious that they thought there was something to look out for, and I wouldn't blame Harry in the slightest if he decided to stay clear of Weasley.

And you should do, too, if you're so worried about the consequences.

Re: Private Message to Padma

[alt_pansy]

The only thing I'm particularly worried about is Ron getting in trouble again for something he didn't do. That's all.

[alt_ron]

Oh, ha bloody ha.

Don't be daft, Patil.
