Dear Mum and Dad,

It was a Hogsmeade day, so we all went into town. It was cold, but I wore my jumper under my robes, Mum, so I kept warm. Don't worry.

It was a bit naff today because loads of people had dates because of Valentines coming up, but that's all right because Zonko's wasn't so crowded as usual, or Honeydukes after they all went off to the Broomsticks or that cafe with the lacy curtains. What's it called? You should've seen it. Whenever anyone opened the door, loads of hearts floated out--like soap bubbles, only pink and sparkly. And heart shaped. Totally naff.

Oh. And I saw Percy. He was coming out of this inn called the Protector's Circle. And while we were talking, didn't Penelope Clearwater come out of there, too? She seemed a bit embarrassed when she saw me. Wonder what they could've been up to in there all afternoon?

Nice that Percy likes his job. He said it's really brilliant. And that he does super important stuff for Mr Malfoy. Shame it's all super secret so he couldn't go on and on, telling me about it. I've really missed that.

Term's going fine.

Looking forward to Easter hols. Did you hear they're getting up a trip for the visiting students? I guess maybe some of us in the YPL might get asked to join in for some of it. Maybe. They haven't said for sure yet.

And the Second Task is coming up.

I think that's pretty much all of it.

Your favourite son,
Ronald

Ronald Weasley, you sneaking vile snitch.

You may think it's a good thing you're at Hogwarts and out of my immediate reach. But you'd better believe it, no matter how long it takes I will make you pay.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

What ho, Ron,

I say, everything all right, then?

Well, yes, one can see that, what. I suppose one's asking: What did he do?

That is, if you're in the mood to talk about it. Perhaps it would help?

Egad, Ron. Surely you can't be that dense.

Mom's gonna have kneezles.

Or maybe that was your intention.

What's Percy done to you? Lately, I mean?

I'm glad you had a good time in Hogsmeade, dear. And I hope you're studying hard.

And I certainly wonder what they were up to in there all afternoon, too.

Which I'm sure is probably his private business, Molly.

Arthur! You can't seriously condone this, can you? He's only a boy!
alt_arthur: (Molly)

Re: Private message to Molly Weasley

[personal profile] alt_arthur 2012-02-12 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
On the contrary, Molly. He's of age. You know that.

Besides, for all we know, they may have simply been meeting for tea in a private parlour.

Meeting for tea, my foot! With that--that--FLOOZY!

Hardly that, Molly dear; she's Head Girl at Hogwarts. Why, you've always welcomed her with open arms every time she's come over to the Burrow.

Something which won't happen the next time she darkens my door, I assure you!

Don't fly off the handle now and say something to either of them you'll regret.

The boy's growing up, Molly. You know that. It's entirely natural.

As you very well know from what we were up to when we were that age.

ARTHUR, THAT'S ENTIRELY DIFFERENT! WE WERE ENGAGED!

Look, I'll talk to him. All right?

Oh, Arthur, come home! Why do you have to be slaving away over reports late on a Saturday night? I declare, I'm so upset I'm about to start breaking the teacups.
alt_arthur: (Molly)

Re: Private message to Molly Weasley

[personal profile] alt_arthur 2012-02-12 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, we can't have that.

Wrapping things up now; I'll be home very soon.
alt_percy: (Percy)

[personal profile] alt_percy 2012-02-12 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Mum! I...I can explain.
alt_arthur: (Default)

[personal profile] alt_arthur 2012-02-12 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps you'd better not, son. At least not tonight.
alt_percy: (Percy)

[personal profile] alt_percy 2012-02-12 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Bill's offered me a place to stay tonight. I think I'll take him up on it.
alt_arthur: (Default)

[personal profile] alt_arthur 2012-02-12 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
I think that would be best, yes.

Don't worry about your mother, son. She'll come around.
alt_molly: (Irate)

[personal profile] alt_molly 2012-02-12 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Don't be too sure!

I'm sure I wasn't embarrassed at all, Weasley, only surprised to see you on that street. As for the rest, really, it's no secret that your brother and I often take advantage of Hogsmeade days to spend time together. You make it sound perfectly sordid, but perhaps that's simply because a lad your age has only one groove in which to set his thoughts.
