Home!

[alt_ron]

It's great to be home. The food's so much better than at school. It's been so long since I've had real food--the kind Mum makes--I forgot what really good food tastes like! Awesome.

And tomorrow, we're going to Diagon Alley to buy a wand to replace the one that got broken on the way to school. I was sorta nervous about whether I'd still be in trouble for that, but Mum and Dad were totally wiz about it, and so tomorrow we're going to Ollivander's.

I hope you all made it home okay. I mean, I guess nothing was going to happen to any of us, what with all those Aurors on the train and at the station, but we all had to get from there to home, so I hope you all got there and nobody met any of the escaped prisoners or anything.

Don't be stupid, Patil. We couldn't have gone sooner because school wasn't out. And this is the first I've been home since September. When did you think we would have gone?

Of course. And they didn't tell you about it sooner because they wanted it to be a surprise, right? Even though if they'd told you, oh, I dunno, at Christmas or even your birthday, then you'd have been able to stop moaning and whinging about not having a proper wand - or at least, you'd have said, 'At least I've only got to get through for the time being and in summer I'll get a new one.'

So really it was all planned, all along.
