Here at the Burrow

[alt_molly]

Ginny, have you seen my large oval platter? I haven't seen it since dinner Tuesday night. Ron says he put it away, but he can't remember where.

George, it's your turn to muck out the hen house. No, it's not Ginny's, and she doesn't appreciate your trying to skive off on that particular chore by saying that it's hers.

Fred, if I've told you once, I've told you a THOUSAND times. Please WIPE YOUR FEET when you come in from de-gnoming the garden.

Percy, please be considerate of the other people in this household, and keep in mind that we don't have infinite storage for hot water the way Hogwarts does. Remember that when you take your showers!

Bill, I hope you can come over for dinner tomorrow night? Ron says he'd like to play chess again.

Oh, and Ron, I picked up that potion for you at the apothecary's this afternoon and put it on your bedside table. Remember, you need to use it every day if you don't want to get scars from those spots.

And don't feel too badly about it, dear. I promise it'll get better once you're older.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Oi!

Just kill me now.

We're actually rather surprised that she restrained herself from commenting about Dad's farts stinking up the bathroom.

I gotta say I find Sally-Anne Perks theory about your mum somehow behind a mistress of secret intrigue is too hard to believe. She can't seem to resist writing whatever comes into her head. No matter who's reading.

Ouch.

It's all part of her clever disguise!

I'm just glad

Well I'm NOT glad Sirius Black is dead, no matter what I say where other people might read (even owls, you know they do search post sometimes) but I'm glad Bellatrix Lestrange didn't have the chance to ask him any questions because even a Gryffindor would probably tell her what she wanted to know eventually. I was going spare, when I heard he'd been arrested, and I couldn't say anything and I didn't have anyone to talk to. It would've been bad if they'd found anyone but it would be a million times worse if

Anyway he went down fighting. So if anyone's mum is working with him, and probably his organisation does include SOMEone's mum even if it's not Ron's, she's still safe.

Yeah.

Well you COULD have gone to Madam Pomfrey, I hear she's got good spot remedies and then your mum wouldn't have noticed!

[alt_percy]

MUM!!

[alt_molly]

What?

[alt_percy]

Do you have to say this sort of stuff in the journals? People might read it!

[alt_molly]

Well, of course people will read it. That's rather the point, isn't it?

Order Only

[alt_bill]

Really, Mum. That's a bit harsh, don't you think?

Re: Order Only

[alt_molly]

Sometimes a little public humiliation is the best weapon a mother of teenagers can possibly have.

[alt_bill]

Sure, I'd be happy to come for dinner, thanks. Tell Ron to set up the chess board.

[alt_molly]

Wonderful. I managed to pick up a lovely bit of beef from the butcher, so I'll be making your favourite beef stew.
