Private Message to Mum and Dad

[alt_ron]

Thanks for the birthday parcel. The biscuits are great. Actually, they're pretty much gone already. And I had some of the jam for breakfast and it was really it tasted like home, Mum. So, yeah, thanks.

Um. We're looking forward to being home for hols soon. Did George or Fred already ask if we could have friends over for one of the days? We were thinking maybe Quidditch, but maybe a broom trip to keep up our skills for CCF--well, for my lot, but G&F said that'd be fun for them, too. If it's all right with you, we'll start asking people now, so they can get permission and make plans and all.

Of course you may, dear. What day were you thinking? Or did you hope that some might be able to stay overnight?

[alt_ron]

Could they?! Stay over, I mean. That'd be so snitch, Mum.

Um. How many 'some', did you think?

[alt_molly]

Of course they could. That is, you know how crowded the Burrow can be, but if your friends don't mind, the more the merrier.

Oh, one thing that occurs to me....perhaps you might include some of the foreign students? If you've made some friends among them, I mean. I don't know whether they have a programme intended for them while the rest of the students are going home for the hols, but it seems sad to me that they'll be cooped up in the castle, and it might be nice to suggest it. Perhaps they might like to see a British home. Or perhaps some of the friends who've been here before might like to bring a guest?

You know I like entertaining, and if we have some stay overnight, we have Bill and Charlie's room, and perhaps you and the twins won't mind kipping on some of the couches, or on the floor with a bedroll? Just let me know who you think you might like to invite.
