I didn't get any pets over the hols, and none of my brothers did either, but I didn't want one so that's okay.

Back up to school tomorrow. Boo! School's okay, but being at home is better.

Dad's been up at one of the camps with some of the other healers. Their helping out up their because everyone's sick or something, but I don't know what it is. I asked Dad when he got home but he said he was too tired and we'd talk about it later. I don't like it when he goes to the camps. It sounds a bit dangerous to me. But Mum says you've got to help people who are less fortunite. And you have to do what the Lord Protector says, too, and sometimes that means making sure the muggles don't all get sick and die. I don't really understand, but that's how it works, so there you go.

Yeah, I didn't get a familiar this hols, either, though the twins were talking about tying up a couple of garden gnomes and bringing them back in their trunks. Or slipping them in Percy's and putting a release spell on that would set them free before we get there. If they do it, you'll probably be able to hear Percy all the way to Hufflepuff when he starts to unpack!!

I'm kind of ready to be back at school. I mean its nice to be home, and Mum's cooking is so much better than the elves make, but its sort of nice not to have so many chores to do. I wish Mum and Dad would get an elf then we wouldn't have to do so much work whenever we're all home. I mean, seriously, cleaning out the canning room and the rest of the cellars was the worst. There were tons of rats and you've never seen such big spider webs--ugh!--and, of course, Percy skived off and said he had to revise for Transfiguration, and of course, no one could argue with that because Mum and Dad are totally as scared of Professor Carrow as all of us. I mean, they gave the twins a huge lecture about not getting wrongside of Carrow, which was a laugh because you know, whatever you tell the twins not to do, they'll absolutely do, so who knows what they'll get up to now Mum and Dad have warned them off!

So, anyway, I'll see you on the train, yeah?

Well you know if they cant get elves they could get a mudblood or two. Mr Rosier and Mr Malfoy were talking about this at lunch yesterday. Theyve had all sorts of trouble getting pureblood families to take them as servants even when they dont have elves. And I know with your family its not that they hate mudbloods so much they cant bear to have them about. I mean I really think your brothers would have kept Carrows mudblood like a pet if they could have!

A mudblood could do all the heavy work for your mum. And I expect theyd rather come work for your mum than stay in the camps. Or work for Carrow.

Yeah. Uh. I don't think my Mum would go for it.

She says she doesn't need servants with all us kids to help get things done. She's just funny that way.

Haha! I'll have to come and find you on the train to see if there really are gnomes in your brother's trunk!

I didn't have to do as much chores as you while I was at home, I was mostly just helping to look after my brothers and doing revision because we've got exams at the end of the year. I did loads of transfiguration too but not because I'm scared of Professor Carrow because I'm definitely not. I just needed to do more transfiguration than anything else, that's all.

See you on the train.

[alt_ron]

Huh. There's loads of time before exams, though, when we get back to school. But, yeah, its probably Transfiguration I need most help in, but, oh! Ask me to tell you about the bunny my brothers transfigured on Easter! It was totally hilarious!!! I mean, if we did stuff like that in lessons, it would be the best subject in school! Aside from, well, yknow

Id stay home at Mr Rosiers longer too. It seems like the holiday just started!

[alt_ernie]

Yeah it was a short holiday, maybe because of the unicorn hunt and stuff so we left a bit late, but it was good to go home.
