Year Five
~*SEVERAL WEEKS LATER*~
Charlie,
I can't thank you enough for telling me even as much as you did! Now that I'm THERE with them, I know. Tonks is also a metamorphamagus, I didn't think anyone could do what I could til meeting her but she can do extra things I can't. She promised to teach me to do them soon. Harry got in trouble for saving himself and his cousin from two dementors. THEY should be getting him soon. Hedwig just arrived and is pecking the HELL out of Ron. I wish you could be here too when Bill came but I guess dragons aren't a job you can do from home.
Brandi
Brandi,
Thats nice. Tonks is a cool girl just inquizitive and not exactly graceful. I take it my mother is making you under-aged lot clean all day? Also tell me it goes at Harry's trial please.
Charlie
Charlie,
HE GOT OFF!!! Also, Ron and Hermione are Gryffindor's newest prefects! Your mom bought him a broom and Hermione sent Hedwig to her parents and we threw a party to celebrate. Just before bed your mom was hysterical in the drawing room trying to chase off a boggart that kept turning into dead loved ones. I sort of was torn between being upset it was hurting her so much and wishing we could of kept it so Moony could teach me the charm!
Brandi
Brandi,
Bah they couldn't arrest or expell him on there on laws! The boggart charm is simple you look at your fear and turn it funny the word is Riddiculus. So how is shool going? By the time you receive this owl you should be there.
Charlie
Charlie,
Things are alright for me but Harry is edgy cause a boy in his dorm's mom didn't believe his story, also Ravenclaw is acting like he might just kill them if they stray from their packs. Cho spoke to hi a bit at breakfast but my usually brilliant sister is being stupid, she won't even LOOK at our table DISPITE being THERE much of the summer! I suppose she still has doubts I mean she isn't being MEAN just I think she feels Harry saw Cedric die in the third task and built up this delusion of You-Know-Who in his head. While Dumbledore just took him at his word dispite the fact he still could of just FOUND Cedric and lost it.
Brandi
PS- Ginny and I are pissed. We wanted to be confrontational but Hermione wouldn't let us, cause the new Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher is a ministry lady from Harry's trial.
Mom,
Hagrid's not here, Grubbly-Plank is back. The new Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher seems like trouble, I'm dreading the first class with her. I want Lupin back!
Brandi
Brandi,
Is Hermione stressing you out yet about your O.W.L.s next year?
Charlie
Charlie,
Of course! The lowest rank is TROLL and the homework is insane and I have a year to marinate in it. Also that Ministry bitch is a psycho, she teaches theory and told the fifth years Harry is making it up and when he set her right she had him doing lines during quidditch practice!
Brandi
PS- They had to make a Draught Of Peace in potions, will they be able to take a few drops during exams? They also tell me she was very insulting of the Defence TEACHERS cause they did there jobs! She has us taking notes during the whole lesson 'theory will get you threw exams and there is nothing out there waiting to attack you'. I HATE HER!!!
Brandi,
Ding ding ding! Congratulations my dear, you have discovered the word I was going to use for Rita last year! You win a chocolate frog! But really in all seriousness don't panic yet kiddo you will be ok just study hard. Maybe you will be the Gryffindor girl prefect next year though mom will go mental if its not Ginny. The twins where the only non-prefects in the family. But only two of my brothers made had boys.
Charlie
Charlie,
Ron tried out for Gryffindor keeper with his new broom and actually GOT it! I'm sure someone told you he got a CleanSweep for making prefect. Also, that evil teacher made Harry do lines for telling the truth and is hiding somethingtaht made it worse I know it. Also, my sister still isn't sure Harry wasn't losing his mind and as for Dumbledore it's not that he is senial, he's just quick to believe Harry because of what's he's been through which is exactly why she is unsure. As for classes, not much to say, but Grubbly Plank is still filling in. She brought in Bowtruckles! This morning it was in the Daily Profit that the evil lady is now High Inquisitor who can grade the other teachers!
Brandi
Brandi,
Hon, are you kidding? Ron told me all that immediately! Also that woman is supposedly bullying the "bad" teachers and trying to intimadate Magonagal, HA! Good luck! Well, I don't want you getting in trouble with her. Ron told me about what she did to Harry, and I'm sorry I can't in good conscience tell you,I must ask you not to press them, just TRUST me. I would of wrote Dumbledore straight away if Ron hadn't made me promise not too and I am a man of my word but it makes me sick, and Hermione knew how to assist him.
Charlie
Charlie,
I need to meet you at Hogsmeasde to tell you what we are planning, it's not safe via owl. Also my sister tearfully appologied for not believing us, I know she saw Dumbledore about this. She said he SHOWED her what happened but I don't know how!
Brandi
Brandi,
Fine ith me. I will get the date from my family and meet you to discuaa the matters at hand. Same time and place.
Charlie
PS- Its called a Pensive it shows memories, I wish I had one but they are way too expensive.
Charlie,
Thanks, also they tell me that in O.W.L. transfiguration they go from vnishing snails to mice and the more Hermioneish people can advance to KITTENS! Speaking of which, last week Sunni vanished for about a day, then I saw Crookshanks tail under a big chair in the common room. She was under there with him. Since then, she's behaving oddly. I wonder if she is pregnant.
Brandi
Brandi,
Thanks for meeting me. I had fun as usual. Just a heads up, remember to be careful what you put in letters, I hear some are getting intercepted. Whats up now?
Charlie
Charlie,
Hedwig got hurt on her ay back to Harry. Also the Quidditch team is trying to get permission to reform. Sunni is also constantly going to Hermione's dorm or Crookshanks comes to mine. If the kitty wasn't before I bet she is now, but she isn't showing just yet.
Brandi
PS- Treylewny's on probation.
Brandi,
This is going to get worse. So how's the Homework?
Charlie
Charlie,
THAT is going fine. Everything else sucks! We won the first match and Harry got hit by Bludger after the fact. Ron wants to quit and he was BAD. Harry, Fred and George where insulted and went after Malfoy. (Fred didn't get to him cause the Chaser girls grabbed him) All where given a lifetime ban by HER after Magonagall gave Harry and George a weeks worth of detentions.
Brandi
PS- Oh and a GREAT thing, Hagrid's back! I almost forgot, Bethi gave up on quidditch Isis doesn't like flying and she doesn't want to leave her alone during every practice and game.
Mom,
Hagrid's back and that woman is worse that I thought. Harry and the Weasley twins where replaced on the Gryffindor quidditch team. Ginny is the Seeker but I don't know the new Beaters. Also the Weasley's are having everyone over for Christmas so we will be staing at home and using the Floo.
Brandi
Charlie,
What happened last night? After studying Hermione, your siblings, Harry and I went to sleep. When I woke Ginny wasn't there so I got Hermione and we searched for the boys and none of them where at Breakfast! Do you know anything?
Brandi
Brandi,
Yes, I know what happened but I can't tell you here. GO home over Christmas. We won't be at home but I'll leave you a way there. Your mom will of course KILL ME, but its my dad that I'm worried about.
Charlie
PS- Please just tell your mother its very important and I am very sorry.
Charlie,
What you left was very clever, and I went back to tell mom she was ok with it. I'm there now, Hermione showed the following afternoon. We visited your dad he is improving, Bethi and I went to the tea room with Ron, Ginny, Harry & Hermione. We saw Lockhart and the Longbottoms in between.
Brandi
Mom,
Mr. Weasley is home, and we are going back to school. Sorry I won't be able to write more but Hermione says if I want an O.W.L. in every class I need to start before I get to the O.W.L. classes and that leaves so little time if I was still concerned with Quidditch I wouldn't even live to see fifteen. So having a feret may of saved my life! I hope to see you over Easter.
Bethani
Charlie,
Your dad's back and we are going back to school on the Knight Bus with Moony and Tonks.
Brandi
Brandi,
When is your next Hogsmeade weekend?
Charlie
Charlie,
It's fairly soon, last time sadly ended just before this letter arrived. Harry did an interview there with ther Quibbler. Did you see it? SHE banned it before I did!
Brandi
Brandi,
Anything more recent happening? Dad told me Padfoot told him what Dumbledore asked Snape to do with Harry.
Charlie
PS- The Quibbler isn't worth reading anyway, I suppose that will make people believe less!
Charlie,
Remedial Potions? Somehow I dout Potter takes remedial ANYTHING! But SHE fired Treylawny and Dumbledore hired a centaur named Firenze. She was livid!
Brandi
Mom,
We are coming home for Easter. Harry and company are staying but we'd rather see you again and discuss things freely.
Love,
Bethani
Charlie,
I'm home for Easter, but the owls maybe intercepted by the Ministry. Would you come home and visit? My house is in the Floo Network incase you didn't know by now. Also seeing as how your family stayed at school we won't be at The Burrow, so please come here. Mom knows your face from the picture I sent her from the ball last school year. Oh and Sunni IS pregnant, she should give birth soon and they'll be weaned and ready to be sold by summer vaction!
Brandi
PS- The group got found out, Dumbledore took the blame and left! We had just learned to make Great Friends!
Charlie,
We had the Quidditch finals today. First match since your Brothers left and the school went haywire. Lee had alot less gusto. I lost sight of Harry and Hermione, guess it was too rough on them, but THEY missed RON winning the cup for Gryffindor!
Brandi
Brandi,
Is everything ok? I've been hearing things from home.
Charlie
Charlie,
Of course we're ok. Not HAPPY but FINE. Whats going on with you?
Brandi
Brandi,
I'm back in England, I took a weeks vacation to be with my family, things aren't going well and everyone is getting worried. Mom is in a constant panic. Tell me if anything else happens. You know though, I can't send many owls from here.
Charlie
Charlie,
Well the week I was waiting for you letter Sunni's kittens were born. They look like half a dozen tiny fluffy tigers. My sister and I plan to do a few charms on them and sell them when they are weaned. I went to ask Hermione for help since her exams are over but I couldn't find her. MY sister and I searched and then relised Ginny, Ron, Harry and Luna where missing as well. I hadn't seen a one of them since just before dinner yesterday. Did they go THERE again like Christmas?
Brandi
George,
How are you and Fred doing with your shop? Sunni had kittens by Crookshanks and Brandi asked me to write you to see if you wouldn't mind selling them in your shop if we did some spells to make them more interesting. I enclosed a picture. I was thinking I could fix them and give the girls pink eyes and the boys blue . Maybe even change the breed or at least fur colors. I am quite good at transfiguration, Magonagall let it slip I got the best grade of every forth your in the school this year.
Bethani
Beth,
Forgive the girly ink, but Fred insists everything we do reflect the store and our robes are Magenta to attract attention to the store so even personal letters should be in a color to match our work robes though I know I saw him write his number down for a girl in olive green ink! Yes we have a telephone so even muggle borns can order from home even if they don't own an owl! As for want you asks about. Yeah sure, you girls can send them when ever you wish. I like the idea of fixing them and marking there gender by their eyes. But hold off on the appearances over all, maybe we could get a request and you could alter them tol order? Most young witches would pay threw the nose for a custom kitty. Fred wanted to know if your sister wouldn't mind mltiplying them with that spell she was given a ways back with her camera.
George
PS- Would you mind terribly coming to work for us over the summer? We already have a girl working the register and we are busy making and stocking inventory we'd really like you to take care of our novelty pet department. You'll receive a galleon per day a 10% discount on anything in the store.
Charlie,
Sirius is dead!!! The Daily Prophet admited they screwed up royally, everyone is back and Madam Pomfrey is tending to them. Dumbledore and Hagrid have returned also.
Brandi
George,
I'd love to! I just have to ask mom if it's alright. As for the spell for making more of them, we tested it on a ladybug to see if it would work on a living thing and nope not all, the poor thing blew up!
