The twins charmed my journal shut Sunday afternoon, and I only just got it to open up. Gits.
That's really brilliant about your dad and getting to see where he worked and all. What was in the box of his things they gave you? Anything nift?
From the way he talks when he's home, it sounds like Percy's making a perfect tit of himself at work. It must've been just jolly having tea with him. I mean, I can't imagine why you'd've wanted to do that. All he ever talks about is himself and how important everything he's doing is and how everyone tells him how promising he is. Just ugh.
Anywiz, I got your owl, but since I hadn't read this first, I didn't know she was coming, so I just wrote something really quick to send back with her. I mean, I guess there's not much to tell. It's not like I'm going to any museums here, unless you count old Mrs Merriwynch's house as one. I had to go help Mum clean it out because she's a neighbour and she's getting really ancient and can't do very strong cleaning spells any more. And Mum thought she needed company, too, so she made Ginny go along and talk to her while I had to clean cupboards and hang out washing and scrub between floor boards and sort through all kinds of stuff in drawers while Mrs Merriwynch said what to do with it.
But she let me have a really classic Silver Arrow that I guess was her son's when he was in school, except I guess he doesn't come home anymore so she decided there wasn't any point keeping it for him. Mum looked like she was going to say I couldn't have it, but then she changed her mind and didn't say anything. Anywiz, the flying charm's pretty weak, but I'm going to work on it and see if I can't get her into trim. It's really nift because Ginny's always banging on about how we don't have enough brooms when she wants to fly, so that won't be a problem if I can get this one going again.

So, yeah. That's about all of it, I guess.
