Order Only

[alt_ginny]

And thank you especially for the picture of my new nephew, he is BEAUTIFUL.

Looks just like me!

Means he's going to be brilliant.

Re: Order Only

[alt_ginny]

He does, actually! Just like. I hope Tonks isn't too put out that the Sorting Hat's already decided Adam's a Gryffindor.

I brought my photo album over when I was visiting Tonks and Adam. And just as I turned to one particular picture of Ron, Adam made exactly the same face, a thunderous frown with the lower lip sticking out. It sent us into gales of laughter; we laughed so hard that Tonks almost choked on her tea and Sirius came up to see what all the noise was about.

But usually, he's much happier! He is simply adorable, and I can't wait for you both to meet him.

Re: Order Only

[alt_ron]

Wish were home. Then we could meet him, and come to the meeting on Saturday.

And you could stuff us full of pie, and life would be good!

Re: Order Only

[alt_molly]

Of course he is. Just like you.

It's my standard security charm dear, of course, so only you can see the sketch. So you needn't worry about keeping it, perhaps laying casually on the corner of your desk.

Re: Order Only

[alt_molly]

Isn't he, though? Charlie is just about bursting with pride.

And Ginny? Thank you. For yesterday.

Sometimes grief makes the strangest things--even terrible things--seem to make sense.

I'm sorry.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, thanks, Mum!

Both my favourites!

It was really nice of you.

[alt_molly]

Well, you know I love to cook. Especially for my own children. And I know you have had a particularly difficult week..

Private message to Ron

Mercy, I write that, and it seems like the most ridiculously understated observation I could make.

I dreamed last night that you were flying around the quidditch pitch. Just doing laps like you used to do over the orchard at home. I always thought that you found it calming, somehow.

The dream made me hopeful, that you'll keep your equilibrium, despite everything. I hope you have something that can give you the same kind of peace now.

Re: Private message to Ron

[alt_ron]

Thanks, Mum.

Yeah. I wish they hadn't cancelled Quidditch, or that we were even allowed to practise. I expect it's time to see if anyone wants to go out and fly around the grounds. Maybe tomorrow afternoon. Shame the weather's been so crap.

It'll be alright, Mum. Really.


Especially if you keep sending biscuits.
