Year Six
~*SEVERAL WEEKS LATER*~
Charlie,
I visited your family a bit, no one likes Fluer so much, I went shopping for new school supplies with them. My sister has worked for your brothers most of the summer. All of Sunni's babies except one malem where already gone. I think the pygmy puffs, which by the way Ginny bought a purple one, and she's decided to call him Arnold.
Brandi
Brandi,
Fred and George had better of sent Verity or someone to get her. A fifteen year old witch no matter how talented has no business traveling alone these days. Our mom would kill them if she so much as stubbed a toe working for them.
Charlie
Charlie,
Bethi is fine and trust me OUR mom interviewed your brothers before letting her work for them. George voulenterred to get her every morning via side-a-long apparation from our living room to his store every morning right after breakfast and back each evening just in time for dinner. Besides we are safely back at school now, and she is planning to do the same every summer and holidays if she doesn't have too much homework. As for school Harry got to the Great Hall kinda late and looked hurt, I was confused cause he was on the train. We also have a new potions master, Professor Slughorn, and the Defense Against The Dark Arts spot went to SNAPE!?!?!
Brandi
PS-Dumbledore's wand hand looks weird.
Charlie,
Lots of new security things are around but several students have been taken home. We aren't telling Mom cause we aren't stupid, I'm just hoping she doesn't flip out at the Daily Prophet. Is Dumbledore with you guys, he is missing at meals alot lately. I heard in the Prophet that poor Stan Shunpike was arrested and a Hannah was dragged out of 5th year Herbology the day before, word has it her mom was found dead. If you know anything PLEASE tell me!
Brandi
Brandi,
Are you and your sister studying for your O.W.L.s yet? You know certain teachers won't let students in their N.E.W.T. classes without a certain grade on the exams. If there is any course you don't need for the Career path you plan to take you can drop it next year and therefore not need to stress on it at exam time and it gives you more time for the important classes thats how you get O's on the required stuff and even if you get a T in Divination who cares.
Charlie
PS- I'm sorry to say I don't know anything about what you asked. The Prophet's delivery owls doesn't come out this far I only read it when I come home for a bit and I only do that when I get a letter requesting me to do so from home or you.
Charlie,
Hermione has been going to Slug Club parties with Ginny. Harry is dodging and Ron is jealous. Katie got cursed and replaced by Dean (he wasn't the one that cursed her, we don't know who did that yet) as Chaser. Ron is nervous again close to the Slytherin game he accidently punched Demelza! Oh, I still love Care Of Magical Creatures and am not into Herbology is that ok for animal work? I'm ok at Transfiguration, good at Charms and BAD at potions.
Brandi
Mom,
We are heading home for Christmas. Harry is going to the Burrow and we all have been asked to Christmas dinner.
Bethani
Brandi,
How was your holiday? Sorry I didn't get to see you. Mom wrote to say that Prat Percy came home with the New Minister who wanted to prod Harry for dirty on Dumbledore and to be the ministries poster child! Ron says Harry gave the old coot what for and my other siblings, except Bill who's busy with Fluer, gave percy a faceful of mashed parsnip to remember them by! I should DOUBLE the gold I sent each of them for Christmas, you wouldn't of taken a picture would you?
Charlie
Charlie,
No sorry I left my camera in the other room. Hermione wasn't there but Bethi, our mother and I where. Just for dinner though. We are back at Hogwarts now and the 6th years are starting Apparation courses if of age by the start of next term and if they have the 12 galleons.
Brandi
PS- I still can't believe the twins past and YOU of all people failed! Two questions. HOW did you mess you if they can do it? What does it feel like?
Charlie,
Did you hear about Ron yet? He accidently ate some Chocolate Cauldrons full of Love Potioninstead of Fire Whiskey! When Harry took him to Slughorn for the remedy, THAT depressed him so he was given mead as a pick me up only it was POISONED! He was immediately given a Bezoar. They are hoping it was on purpose, maybe the Oak Tree the barrel it was matured in was treated with Doxy-Be-Gone? Your parents, Fred and George came and left before I found out!
Brandi
PS- McLaggen is filling in in for Ron in the match with Hufflepuff. He was trying to run the team causing us a loss 320 to 60 and poor Harry a cracked skull!
Brandi,
Yes I heard and by the time the owl arrived he was out of the hospital wing so I didn't bother coming. He wrote me to say the next lot to take the Apparation test is to practice this weekend at Hogsmead. Is this an official Hogsmeade weekend? If so I will come and visit to give you a study break. If not maybe Dumbledore will let me help you study for your O.W.L.s under that tree by the lake, I'll bring the Butter Beers!
Charlie
PS- Oh, I forgot, the apparatio issue was I didn't want to do it as much a they did, plus I had a never done a side-a-long and was nervous about about what it might feel like. You know how uncomfortable a portkey is. This is different but equaly annoying. Your whole body seems to be crushed for a second. Thankfuly I was never splinched!
Charlie,
Yes sadly even Harry isn't allowed to go this time, but I have gone and informed the head master that you are coming to study with me for my loaming exams. He said outdoors will be fine weather permitting other wise we can use an empty classroom, the LIBRARY is off limits while we have refreshments of any kind, because Madam Pomfrey would have our heads and he doesn't wish to write out mom's explaining why we are coming home with out them!
Brandi
PS- I got some left over junk food from the last Hogsmead trip and from Christmas. This is surprising because I went through about half of it the day I read that little boy tried to kill his grandparents!
Brandi,
Thanks, that was fun, and I hope I helped you. O.W.L.s are coming soon, though the results will come via owls over the summer. Is Ginny still with Dean? Everyone that writes me says they are bickering again. I know he wouldn't lay a hand on her, she'd curse him into a coma off something at least beyond the Bat Boogies! She'd do THAT to us for trying to protect her!
Charlie
Charlie,
Yes, thanks, I feel much better since seeing you. No, for Ginny, she dumped him for being too chivelrous. Question, I know she used to have a thing for Harry, but since Cho, he is behaving oddl, could he be interested now or is he up to something? He, Ron and even Hermione are always sneaking off lately. But as busy as I've been with classes I hardly noticed Ron and Lavendar going together until Hermione started avoiding Ron, and Lavendar started getting jealous when ever they WERE together!
Brandi
Charlie,
Did Ron tell you? Harry tried an unknown curse out and got detention during the Quidditch finals. We where down by 300 and losing buy 100 would put us 3rd, 200 would be bottom of the board. Ginny took over as seker and her ex took over for her. Well, we won the cup and Harry kissed Ginny and yes I mean a REAL kiss!
Brandi
Charlie,
The night before our O.W.L.s where to be starting there was a battle at school. DUMBLEDORE WAS KILLED BY SNAPE! Malfoy snuck in other Death Eatters through a cabinet in the room of Requirement, the DA mostly fought along side of the Proffessors & the Order. We all got fairly banged up but the worst injury was Bill, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you but he was attacked by the werewolf Greyback who I over heard got Lupin as a child. Though this time he was untransformed but still infection and perminant scarring is probable. On your way could you please get my mom? My sister and I want to explain to her in person why we MUST stay for the funeral and why we feel we MUST continue our magical education her next year. We love our abilities and friends. We didn't even finish our O.W.L.s!
Brandi
George,
I'm sure you already heard, but you and Fred are the only Weasley's not here yet. Our O.W.L.s were delayed I suppose till the first of next term. We are going home after Dumbledore's funeral. HURRY UP!
Bethani
Beth,
We are in the Hogs Head motel. We shared Charlie's room since he was already here, I suppose your sister wrote him the second the battle ended? He brought your mom, she is staying in the room with Fluer. Our parents are sharing with a Mrs. Finnegan who I suppose is Seamus's mom.
George
PS- I stole Fred's ink bottle. Also we saw Bill and he is requesting seared steaks that are raw on the inside.
Padma,
We are back on the train, I appologize if my writing is shaky or blurred by tears. The crowd at the funeral was amazing. Thousands of humans and even the cantaurs & mermaids showed up! I hope to see you next fall. Harry it seems isn't returning net year, something about Dumbledore's last request, I guess he believes he won't be done be September 1st because I KNOW Dumbledore wouldn't ask him to drop out!
