Summertime

[alt_harry]

I'm doing pretty well this summer. Father is taking me under his wing. He thinks that it's time for me to learn more. Like on break. Granger is here with me of course and she isnt much company because she's just a mudblood but it's nice to have someone who isnt old around. I miss you a lot Draco. There isnt anybody here except Father and Father's friends.

I mean Father and Father's friends are okay, they're teaching me ever so much. Seamus do you think that we could see each other some time? I think Father would be all right with that. Im very bored lonely. There arent many of Father's friends except the Malfoys who have children atall, except the old ones. They like sucking up to the adults. Some of them remind me a little of Weasley really.

I hope Father doesnt get the idea I need to revise like Seamus does during the summer. Seamus dont mention it to him if you do come okay?

Anyhow. At least the food is better here than at Hogwarts.

Do you think your Father would let you come here? Or I could come there. I'm bored too.

Aren't Vince and Greg around? I know they're not much company, but you can make them do almost anything and that's sometimes funny.

[alt_harry]

No, no Vince or Greg. Vince is getting tutored and Greg's on holiday with his mum somewhere, dont know where.

You could probably come here, I guess, I'll ask. He might not let you since you got in trouble I think he might want me all to himself though.

[alt_pansy]

Well, he's not got tutors all the time, has he?

Oh, wait, maybe he has.

And it would be so ace to get to come! I've been so good and after all, wasn't I helping you before? With that project, I mean? Oh, he has to let you! Or let me!

At least say you're going to Weasley's on Friday. I'll be there even though you know I'm dead pants at Qudditch. But if you have to play Beater maybe we've got a chance against you, ha-ha.

[alt_harry]

I cant go Friday. But I bet hell let you. He said we'd see how things went with Seamus. So Seamus and me will be on our best behavior.

[alt_padma]

Well, have you got your marks yet? If your marks are okay then you shouldnt have to work all the time, right?

[alt_seamus]

My marks were okay but Mr Rosier said my writing isn't! At least I thought they were okay, I'm not at the top of the class but I'm more than halfway up and I got the top mark in history.

[alt_padma]

Oh, you're the top mark in history. I'd wondered.

I'd do better I think but Binns, ugh.

[alt_harry]

They were better than before. So I improved. But Father said they weren't what he'd expected. I wasn't even in the top twenty I don't think. I didn't fail anything I suppose.

[alt_padma]

Wow, that's as bad as Parvati. Maybe worse.

But didn't you do well at Potions? Or Charms?

You must of done okay in Defence, I mean you stopped Professor Macnair, didn't you? He has to of given you full marks for that, right? You and Malfoy?

[alt_harry]

Well I did okay in Defence. And I did very good in Charms. But Father wasn't mollycodled by that. He said that he knew that I'd get that mark. Whatever that means.

[alt_draco]

I didn't know your Father has wings, haha. (Don't tell him I said that). What's he teaching you, though? Anything brilliant or useful?

France is interesting and confusing, and I need to write about it in my journal only there's no time yet for that.

[alt_harry]

I think the thing's he's teaching me would be useful if I wasn't eleven. Only I don't have to be a politician any time soon. So I don't know why he wants to teach me. I do want to hear about France. I wish I was there.

[alt_padma]

Ooh, tell! Please?

Haruman says they have places where people go in and watch moving pantomimes. And lots of perfumereys and amazing food. And he says they have a really tall needle there that people climb but I don't believe that, that's just silly.

Did reporters really flash bulbs in your face?

[alt_ron]

What are you saying, mate?

[alt_seamus]

I reckon he means Percy. Its dead confusing with so many Weasleys running around.

[alt_ron]

Ha! Well that's probably true. Percy's too many, all by himself.

D'you think he'd want to come along on Friday? Marvolo, I mean. I think my Mum was afraid his father wouldn't like it if he did.

[alt_harry]

Yes thats what I meant. Should I call him Tertius like the Headmistress does??

[alt_padma]

Why does she do that anyway? It's so old-fashioned.

Hey, mum wondered if you'd wear a robe pet. I mean, she wasn't asking me to ask, she was wondering if your Father would let you, it'd be nift for the shop, you see. Then everyone would want one. If you had one, I mean.

[alt_harry]

Arent they a little girly??

[alt_padma]

Oh, you must not have seen the ad last week. Mum's putting in a whole line of them with pets meant more for boys. I mean, everyone likes dogs and all, but she's adding on snakes and dragons and occamys and things.

[alt_seamus]

It would be wizard if you came over. Maybe we could go flying? Mr Rosier says your always welcome and he'll even let me out of my lessons with the tutor if you come over so please come!

[alt_harry]

Id love to come and Father says yes!!! But not Friday. Maybe on Sunday Father said. Do you have lessons on Sunday? Or if you dont we'd better make it Monday.

[alt_ron]

Hey, mate. Some of us are getting together at mine on Friday to play Quidditch, and it'd be really wizard if you wanted to come. The sides would be a lot better! But we wouldn't let you play Seeker, is all. Wood and Fred and George all have to play positions they don't play on the team, y'know? So it's a little more fair for the rest of us lot.

Anyway, you'd be welcome to come along if you wanted.

[alt_harry]

Sorry Father says I can't. I wish I could.
