Order Only: Private message to Charlie Weasley

[alt_bill]

Please tell me that Ellie blushes and giggles when she sees you tomorrow night. No offence, because I'm sure she's a nice girl, but if she's honed in on me...that's a complication I don't need.

Not meaning to imply that you do need a complication like that.

[alt_charlie]

I'll keep an eye out to see, but you're right, that would be a bit of a complication!

Well, she was definitely watching me tonight, but I don't think it was the kind of blushing-and-giggling Tonks was talking about. So you may very well have another admirer...

You ready to strangle Percy yet?

By the way: you should admire my restraint in not mocking you for losing that game when we played it out on Thursday night. I'm pretty sure I've earned the right to poke fun for at least a few weeks. Shall we hold off until after Christmas hols to start up the next one, or do you want to set it up now?

Percy is being uncharacteristically quiet. Subdued, even. Maybe deep down he knows that Dad's right and he's being a royal prat so he feels guilty--I can only hope--but he's still sticking to his resolve to end it all. He's just not talking about it.

But he's being a scrupulously considerate flatmate, washing all his dishes (and mine, too, before I can get to them), extra quiet in the morning, keeping everything neat as a pin.

It's sort of like the flat's being haunted by an exceptionally conscientious and morose house elf.

Let's wait on the next match for now. We'll probably end up playing a number of 'em live when we get together anyway. And I have a couple of busy weeks coming up, as I'm finishing year end reports. A new game would give me distraction, sure, but I probably won't cover myself with glory.

(Not that I did in that last match, anyway. Huh. Guess screaming and leaping is good for something. Once in a while.)
