Ron Weasley

Hey, mate. Happy Birthday. I'm late, I know. Sorry. I tried sending an owl, but it came back tonight with the letter unopened, so I guess you didn't get it. Mum wouldn't let me send you any chocs, 'cause she said you get so many gifts from people you don't even know that the parcel room at Buckingham is probably just buried under a mountain of packages. Maybe that's why the owl didn't make it to you?

Anyway, I guess I'll see you this week, yeah? It's going to be wizard, I think! (In fact, it might be even better than I'd thought--I think maybe my parents aren't going to let Percy come along. He's in a huge amount of trouble right now, so I think maybe they're going to make him stay home. Which would be completely wizard since it was going to be dead awful to have him there shouting at me all the time.)

Hope you had a good birthday and all. See you soon!
