Wednesday, Again!

[alt_ginny]

My, my! The week just passes by so fast. I look forward, to just hanging around this weekend. I have managed to keep up with my work remarkably well, so much so that I don't have to worry about trying to play catch up on the weekends. Any studying I do on Saturday or Sunday is just extra work that will advance my skills. So everything is going well on that front.

But I do wish to speak about something that concerns me. Ron, what was that package that you received today? You didn't open it immediately. That is what I would do with any package that I receive from home. In fact, you didn't seem excited about it at all. What is wrong with you? I have been checking my journal all day to see if you have written about what you got this morning, and you haven't. You need to write something sir! How do you think Mum is going to feel? You haven't really addressed her in ages. Whatever is going on with you, you need to fix it. Please do so soon. How very Un-Weasley of you to not consider her feelings! I am very disappointed in you.

Mum, just wanted to let you know that everything is well with me and Luna. Those gloves you sent us are really coming in handy. I hope all is well at home. I have even been keeping up my knitting. I will send home the socks and hats (I almost forgot to tell you I figured out how to make hats) soon.

Oh well, I guess I should get ready for tomorrow.

When did you get to be Percy, Jr?

[alt_ginny]

When your head fell off your shoulders, and proper manners escaped you.

[alt_ron]

And, not that it's any of your business, but I got socks.

If you want them, I'll give them to you.

[alt_ron]

They're red.

[alt_ginny]

No, thanks, you keep them. I know how you make socks when I want them.

Order Only

Arthur . . . ?

Re: Order Only

[alt_arthur]

I know, Molly. Best to just let it be. He'll open up on his own, when he's ready.

Until then, I think it would be a better strategy to avoid unnecessary prying.

I wonder...maybe you might ask Charlie to write to him? Not fishing for anything, exactly, but if Ron writes back, he might let some things out he wouldn't tell you or any of the others at Hogwarts.

[alt_molly]

It's a thought.

I'll owl him tonight.

[alt_molly]

Never mind, dear. I'm--I'm sure Ronald will let me know himself if he has any problem with the package. Or the letter. If he needs to.

[alt_ginny]

I hope all is well Mum.

[alt_molly]

Quite well, dear, although I certainly miss you girls. (Well, I don't miss you bouncing on my bed to wake me up in the morning!)

I'm about midway through dealing with the apple harvest. I've run into a bit of a delay since the apple press broke last week (and I don't have my helpers there to help me do all the peeling! I don't think I'm going to put up nearly as much apple butter as I did last year.)

I tried that pattern you gave me, but I must have mixed up some of the colour switching. My dark blue stripe on the hat didn't stay straight but sort of starting wandering off on its own. So I changed the pattern midway through, turning it into stocking cap instead of a round hat.

It's going to be four feet long by the time I have it tapered down the end. I'm quite proud of it. I'm sure no one else will have a hat like it. I think I'll put a tassel on the end, Ravenclaw colours, you know.

[alt_ginny]

That would be wonderful. Do show it to me when you are finished. Then you will have you make me one if you can repeat the mistake.

[alt_luna]

Sometimes mistakes are the best possible thing to happen.
