alt_mollyI wish we could be together today to celebrate, but it won't be long until I see you. And I'll be making all your favourites your first night home, I promise!
Have a wonderful day, and don't get singed!

(The dragon shaped shortbread is amazing. They look perfect -- you can even tell which breed of dragon is supposed to be which! I'm going to feel guilty when I eat them, they're too pretty. Wait, no I won't, I'm totally lying. I had three for breakfast.)
The trousers and the robes are lovely, too. I needed new casual robes that weren't singed, and the trousers are perfect -- you've been practising your fire-repellant charms even more, haven't you? The owl got here while I was sitting in front of the fire, and as soon as I took the trousers out of the package and shook them out, the fire tried to run away from them from the good five feet away I was sitting. I'll feel nice and secure in them.
Ha, Robert just walked by and saw the shortbread tin, and reminded me to tell you that if you ever decide to leave Dad, he'll marry you in a heartbeat in exchange for the shortbread. I told him there wasn't much chance of that, you leaving Dad I mean, but he made me promise I'd pass the offer along.

Date: 2012-12-12 09:58 pm (UTC)I can't wait to see you all either. I'm so glad I was able to trade around so I could make it on Christmas for once.

Date: 2012-12-12 10:10 pm (UTC)If it's the former, you're getting better at bluffing, big bro. And thank you, it's incredible. And everybody's jealous as all get-out about it, and already queuing up to borrow once I've read it -- it might be old, but the bits of dragonkeeping lore in it are still accurate, and everybody wants to get their hands on it.
Thank you so much.
(Also, that's a nice try, but I knew you were going to do that. e5.)

Date: 2012-12-12 10:17 pm (UTC)How're you doing, anyway? Feels like forever since we've talked.

Date: 2012-12-13 01:13 am (UTC)We'll have a chance to catch up at Christmas.

Date: 2012-12-13 02:03 am (UTC)Can't wait to see you, little brother, and you can tell me everything you've been up to.

Date: 2012-12-12 05:35 pm (UTC)Hope my card got there in time. I reckon a dragon wouldn't even notice Pigwidgeon, and anywiz, he wouldn't even look like a big enough bite to be worth eating.

Date: 2012-12-12 10:20 pm (UTC)Your card got here first thing, and I tacked it right up over my bunk. Your awful jokes are getting even awfuller -- made me laugh for five minutes straight.
Order Only
Date: 2012-12-12 07:05 pm (UTC)I wonder if anyone's done work on whether people born in the late midwinter are more prone to be rebels? Seems like there are a fair number of us!
Re: Order Only
Date: 2012-12-12 10:23 pm (UTC)If we get a chance over the hols, actually, I'd like to sit down with you and talk things out a bit -- I've already told Dad the same. That barb Snape threw about not accomplishing much lately really has me thinking about what else I could do to be of use, even from up here.

Date: 2012-12-13 03:57 am (UTC)But I'll keep sending shortbread from time to time!
(no subject)
Date: 2012-12-13 03:58 am (UTC)And if you wanted to send a few tins 'round about February or so, I could probably clean up, bartering them around. You've got quite a few fans up here.

Date: 2012-12-12 01:59 pm (UTC)I imagine you'll have plenty of folk offering to raise a cup with you tonight, but if you'll stop in here over the hols, we'd love to drink your health and cover your tab then.

Date: 2012-12-12 04:23 pm (UTC)I miss you a lot. I can't wait to see you for Christmas. I will have something for you when we all get home.
I hope you are enjoying your day. Don't work too hard today.

Date: 2012-12-12 10:25 pm (UTC)It's been a great day so far. Although I can't tell if everyone's being kind to me today because it's my birthday, or because they want some of Mum's shortbread!

Date: 2012-12-12 07:07 pm (UTC)I know we've only met once or twice but I'm looking forward to meeting you properly at Christmas. I know Percy's anticipating having the whole family together, too.
