RECAP:
‘Oh god. Who did he think he was? Umbridge has been saying things about me?’ you thought. You grunted and put the letter to one side, you would write back I a while.
You reached for the last letter and opened it. A smile crossed your face big style.
THE NEXT PART!:
Dear Hottie,
Been hearing a lot about you lately! I am sorry I have not talked to you in such a long time, and I promise we will see each other soon.
How are you? I am well as always, I hope your holidays are not going to be too boring (I’m guessing your father is on the continent with the team), I’m staying here for Christmas.
So your dating my brother are you? He better be treating you well, otherwise he will be receiving beats from me soon enough!
Anyway, there is something I wanted to talk to you about. About two weeks ago, I received a letter from a certain brother giving me a mouthful about you. I’m guessing you will guess who that brother is. Anyway he said he guessed that I must be writing to you, and I must stop corrupting your mind and leading you off in a bad direction. Apparently you are following in my footsteps. Of course I was pleased about this, but obviously he was not. Anyway I wrote a rather rude and sarcastic letter back in your and my defense, making sure that I mentioned that I was always your favorite Weasley and that he did not need to be so jealous. I am yet to receive a reply but I am sure one will be arriving any day now which I will write to you about as I find this all rather funny.
I guess I do not even need to ask if you are going to have the same sort of reaction to him as I did, you always were sarcastic and full of it. Just like me aye? I also heard that Ron is doing the same too, I’m glad he is growing up into a ‘corrupted’ young man.
Awaiting your reply,
With you in your Dreams,
Charlie

You grinned to yourself, despite the fact that you hardly saw him and he was now… what… 22, 23? You were still incredibly close as if you had only seen him yesterday, not over a year ago.
Dear Chazzers,
Where do you get all this about me?! I hope you don’t spend your nights chasing up about me rather than going out and meeting girls, I know you are in love with me but you are going to have to date until I’m legal!
We best see each other this year or I am flying to you on my broomstick. (Don’t think I am being sarcastic!)
Anyway, yes I am fine, a little bored due to dad being away, but in a few days I have a ‘surprise babysitter’ coming. Oh how exciting it will be. (Note the sarcasm) I hope your Christmas is ok, hope you aren’t spending it alone as Percy has just told me he is. You know today I have received a letter from or containing something from all Weasley children but Bill. Do you know how he is?
Yes Fred and I are involved. I’m sorry if that makes you jealous but you know my heart lies with you. I assure you he is being nothing but perfect, and I think you know that I would be scary enough if he wasn’t anyway.
Percy is being a compete twat. He truly does think he has ‘been neglecting our relationship’ and has assured Delores Umbridge that I am nothing but a perfect student and have been corrupted by others. Pah! I am yet to reply to the letter I received today from the little git. Which I assure you will be completely sarcastic as always just how you like it.
In a letter Ron and I received from him back in September/October time he said that I should not ‘Follow Charlie’s footsteps and spend my school career doing something pointless and then go on to a useless dangerous career.’ I assure you I will be doing nothing but the sort!
Yes Ron tore the letter up right away, thinks he’s a compete moose to put it extremely lightly.
Awaiting your reply,
Your favorite female,
Hottie

This was going to need a little help from Cassia to get to Romania; there was no way you were going to send Midnight all the way there!
You ran downstairs.
‘Cassia!’ You called and she came out from the living room, where as far as you could hear she was watching muggle television.
‘Yes Hannah?’
‘Could you send this to the desk of Charlie Weasley please?’
‘Yes of course, I could send it to his pillow instead if you would prefer to know that it has got to the right place?’
‘Oh yes please Cassia.’
You gave the letter to her and with in a few seconds it was gone. ‘Thanks, I will be down to watch TV with you soon.’
You ran back upstairs to your room; you tied the other letters and sent them off with Night, you then sat down to write a reply to Percy who’s letter you would send via Cassia along with Draco’s to save Night too many trips.
Dear Percy,
I completely understand that your work comes first in your life, and that you are unable to have much time for much else. I am well and hope you are too; I will be spending Christmas with my father at home as usual. Yes I read your letter from Ron, unfortunately we have been unable to sever ties with young Harry Potter due to personal circumstances, but I assure you he is definitely not dangerous or violent.
I would just like to say that Darling Delores has carved ‘I will not waste my life on pointless games’ into my hand.
I also would like to assure you that I was provoked into the behavior that got me this punishment, but by none other than Delores herself. If you do not believe me I can only show you, and I doubt it will be gone by the time I next see you, as it has scared.
Sending gifts your way soon,
Yours,
Hannah

That was as good as it was going to get for him. You were bored and tiered so went down stairs to watch TV with Cassia and eventually come back up for bed.
The next day Cassia awoke you at 10.30, it was late but it’s not exactly like you had much to do. The weather was nice outside, freezing cold mind but there was no wind and not a cloud in the sky, perfect for going to mess around on the quiddich pitch. Just a shame that you had to do it alone.
You got up and got into the shower, and did all the usual morning rituals.
As soon as you were ready to you jumped on your broom and off you went. Come lunch time you had gotten a little bored and lonely so came back inside. Cassia had made you a jam sandwich so you sat down and opened up the paper. Same old load of bullshit. The paper was quickly thrown over your head and into the bin.
‘Hannah the post has arrived.’
‘Thanks Cassia.’ You said taking the letters from her hands.
You looked through, a few for dad, which you would go and put in his office later, one from Fred, one from Ginny, the others, and Draco… ‘Cassia this one is for you.’ You said passing her the envelope.
The excitement and surprise that came over her from receiving a letter… you actually thought she was going to start floating off the floor.
‘It’s from Miss Hermione.’
Of course. It had only been a matter of time before she started stalking Cassia. God knows what she will be like in the summer when you have her round.
‘Remember in your reply, you are the posh people over the roads. I’d rather they didn’t know about all this yet.’ You told her.
‘I don’t know why you are so secretive Hannah; they are not going to be any different because you have a big house.’ She said sitting down at the breakfast work top with you.
‘I know that’s what we think, but they won’t see it as big, it will be massive rich and snobby, plus Hermione doesn’t like the idea of people having house elves.’
‘But I’m free. Your family freed me; I’m here on my own will.’
‘I know I know, but…’ you sighed. ‘Lets just leave it until the summer; they are all going to be coming over then anyway.’
‘VISITORS!’ She yelped as she fell off the tall chair, you giggled at her.
‘Yes Cassia visitors.’
‘OH my! How many?!’
‘Errm… around…’ you mentally counted an estimated number, ‘10ish to stay maybe?’
Cassia practically stopped breathing at this. ‘Wow…’ she eventually let out.
The rest of the day was just as boring as the first part. Spent a little more time flying, some writing letters, doing a bit of homework. Luckily, tomorrow would be better; you were going into the nearby City to do your Christmas shopping. And the best part of it? Dad had left you a credit card. YESSS! Not only this, but dad always liked you to get some things for yourself for you at Christmas as dad wanted you to have something you actually wanted.
The next day you went into the city, it wasn’t hard to find the magical side of things and soon you were in a place much like Diagon ally. You had such a long list of things to get for people, some that would be magical things and others that you would get muggle wise.
It took you from 11 till 4.30 to get all of it done, with only a 20 min break for lunch, but you got it all done. You came back and you had got some magic wrapping paper, the sort that has the moving pictures on. It took you up until dinner to get only the first half done, and then you finished after dinner piling the presents in the corner of the room.
You had gotten Tonks some muggle girly DVD’s that she had been wanting for the TV Arthur gave her for her birthday. Sirius 200 of the best everyday sweets. Fred a big joke book he had been talking about but he had said it was too expensive for him to get it for Christmas and a new shirt. George 1001 of the best ever Pranks book with how-to’s. Harry you had gotten a quiddich book, a care-for-your-firebolt set and a couple of signed posters from various quiddich players. Hermione 3 books she had been talking about and hinting at since October. Ron a load of T-shirts and clothes, which would hopefully save him from the famous Weasley jumper situation and some sweets. Ginny a new diary, stationary and a Hugo Boss Femme (which you had noted to her to hide from her farther so he didn’t take it as it was muggle). Percy a new diary that was so big you could have written down every moment of your next ten years into it. 4 boxes of muggle Thornton Chocolates for Arthur and Molly. Draco some clothes, Charlie some quiddich bits and some stuff on the best Romanian clubs which you somehow managed to stumble upon while in the bookshops. A couple of books for Bill and some clothes and cologne for Dad. Dad had written to say that he had Oliver’s present sorted but you still got him some clothes anyway so everything wasn’t completely quiddich revolved. You also got a couple of boxes of sweets for anyone you may have forgotten or anyone who sends you something so you have to send something back quick.
Exhausted, you fell into bed and into a deep sleep awaiting the next few days which no doubt would be quiet.
