Dad

[alt_bill]

Today would have been Dad's 46th birthday.

We'll have dinner at the Burrow tonight, Percy, Mum and me. Wish the rest of the family could join us, too, but we know you'll be with us in spirit.

Raise a glass for him tonight.

Yeah.


I wish we could be there, too.

I'm planning on getting an owl off to you in the next day or two. Along with a letter, I have a few things of Dad's to send to you. Mum's been going through his things. Not very quickly (it's hard for her), but she's worked at it a little at a time. Of course, his clothes don't really fit any of us, but I have several of his cardigan jumpers if you're interested. Percy's taking several pairs of his cuff links. But I also have some tie tacs, including some with Gryffindor lions on them, to pass on to you and Fred and George.

Do you think you might like one of his hats? One of those fedoras, you know. I know it may not be quite the thing for young men of our generation, but it was Dad's.

Hope the Weasley Hogwarts contingent will all be able to have dinner together tonight at least. Except I saw your message to Ginny. She's in the Hospital Wing? What's that about? Have you seen her?

Private Message to Bill

[alt_ron]

I would like one of those hats, yeah. Thanks. And anything else, really. I mean. I don't know if I'd wear any of it, but just to have, I guess.

And, yeah. Gin's in the Hospital Wing. She had a bit of a crying jag last night, I guess. I think everything just sort of piled up. Dunno. She seemed normal enough Monday evening during our exercise session (it's a YPL thing, y'know), but that's the last I'd really seen her before last night when she got called out about that private message. I had Revue rehearsal and other stuff until late on Monday and I don't think she was at breakfast yesterday. Or if she was, she must have got there early and gone before I came down.

Anywiz. I stopped up to see her during lunch, but she was sleeping and Madam P said she just needed some extra rest.

Right, then there's a hat and a few other things that'll be winging their way to you tomorrow.

Aw, poor Gin. Anyway, thanks for the report and for trying to go see her.

Private Message to Bill

[alt_ron]

Tell Mum I miss her.

Re: Private Message to Bill

[alt_bill]

Of course I will.

She misses you, too; we both do.

[alt_gredforge]

WE'D appreciate a couple of hats.

[alt_gredforge]

Matching ones would be wonderful.

[alt_gredforge]

Maybe with jaunty little feathers.

[alt_gredforge]

We'll start a new fashion!

[alt_gredforge]

Or, well, reinvent an old fashion, anyway.

[alt_bill]

I have a pair that are almost identical. Gents, they're yours.
