Order Only: Private message to Charlie Weasley and Molly Weasley

[alt_bill]

I'm sorry.

I know I really fucked things up.

I'm all right, I'm safe. And I won't do anything stupid. Or at least anything more STUPID than I've done so far tonight, which is a really low bar, isn't it, because that was just flat out IMBECILIC.

I'll come home when I'm ready. And I'll apologise to Ron, and to you. If any of you will ever speak to me again.

THERE YOU ARE. Merlin, Bill, I was SO WORRIED.

Promise me you won't go drinking. Or take any potions you really shouldn't. Or if you're flying, Sirius said you had your broom, promise me you won't crash into anything. On purpose or not

Everything can be fixed, we'll figure out what to do from here, just come back when you're ready and we'll start fixing it but PROMISE ME you won't do anything to make it worse because you think you 'deserve' it or some shite like that.

[alt_bill]

I won't. I swear. No drinks, no potions, no broom crashes.

Charlie...is Ron all right? Did my last spell hit him? I couldn't even tell.

[alt_charlie]

I'm so angry at you about that

The Obliviate missed, yeah, and the twins say they did a lot of fast talking and got him off the ledge. He's safe, staying with a friend tonight.

Will you tell me where you are, at least? I know you probably don't want to see any of us right now, and I won't come looking for you, I just want to know where you are.

[alt_bill]

Thank god.

I'm flying. That's all. Over pretty deserted countryside. I just came down to write in the journal a bit because I knew you'd be going spare.

If only Dad

[alt_charlie]

Yeah. Thanks. I was worried.

I'm still worried. Will you wake me when you come in? As soon as you come in? Doesn't matter when. I'll make you a cuppa like Mum did for us the other morning when the rooster woke us. We don't even need to talk about it.

[alt_bill]

I will.

I saw you exchanged private messages with Tonks over on your journal. Did she, uh, say anything about what happened at Laszlo's?

[alt_charlie]

Yeah, she did. Just to me, though.

She's all right, too. But you really owe her an apology.

[alt_bill]

Shite.

[alt_charlie]

I told you, we'll deal with it later. The important thing right now is that you stay safe, and I'll help you figure out how to start fixing things from here once you're feeling a bit better.

[alt_molly]

Bill, I don't even know what to say to you.

[alt_bill]

That's all right, Mum, because believe me, I'm saying it all to myself.

I'm sorry.

[alt_molly]

I'm just glad that you wrote to tell us you are all right.
