Private message to Charlie Weasley

Mum was practically in tears this morning at breakfast, and when she told me why, I felt like a total prat. Forgive me, but the auspicious occasion of your natal day as Per completely slipped my mind. Slipped both our minds, actually. George mentioned it in passing during a Floo call this morning. Mum's been so busy getting ready for the Grand Opening, and I've...well. I've been distracted, too. But I do feel rather badly, not the least since you've been such a support to me this year.

Anyway, owl's on its way to you and should reach you tomorrow morning. Despite the fecklessness of your family, I hope you had a good time celebrating it with Dree and Em.
