You know that party I was arranging for my parents? Well, mum found the guest list and "persuaded" me not to go through with it. She didn't want a "fuss". Honestly, it's a big anniversary, you should have a bit of a party. But it's a no go. They did have a wonderful time on their holiday, if you were wondering. I've never seen them so brown. Mum

I'll owl your mum when I get off of this thing. I miss that woman. I was really looking forward to seeing her at the party, but it may be better that it doesn't happen. With work and getting ready to move into Aunt Amelia's flat. I'm hoping to be in there by the end of the month...

I can't believe no one's mentioned our little Hufflepuff reunion. I suppose it's because most of us are together all of the time anyways... It was a lot of fun, though.

I'm glad you came with us. I would have been fine on my own, but I really didn't want Michael to get the wrong idea. It's nice to see a friendly face around the Ministry, though.

I'm really glad you and Hannah have each other. I've never seen her go so long without having a nervous breakdown or needing a Calming Draught for some random reason. It's nice. She's happy. And it's nice to see you happy, too. My dad really appreciates the protective charms. He's got some on the property, but he feels there can never be enough.

That would be good. Knowing her your return owl will look something like "Why don't you pop over for dinner, pumpkin?"

If you need any help with moving and that, just call, okay?

I noticed that too, but we were all there, pretty much. Good fun, it was!

That's all right! It was good to see the old codger again. He's doing well for himself.

Very happy, thanks. I just wish there was something I could do for you. In these times there can't be enough protective charms. And anyway, all I did was strengthen the ones that were there and add a few. It was the least I could do.

Well, I would love to pop over for dinner, so if that is the reply, I'm accepting the invitation!

We'll need help. I'm telling you that right now. I mean, we'll at least have my dad, but that may not be enough. I was planning on making asking you and Justin to help anyways.

He is. And I'm really happy for him. He always seemed so driven at school. It's nice to see someone using that drive.

Ernie, I appreciate you saying that. But I will be ok. I've got Justin and Hannah and you. And that's plenty. It really is. It'd just be nice to hear from him. For closure, at least. I don't think my heart could break anymore, so now it's just time to pick it up and find some way to piece it back together. I'll figure it out sooner or later.

It's bound to be! You should all just come over for dinner and let my mum fuss, hahaha.

I'll be glad to lend you the towering pillar of masculinity that is Ernie Macmillan.

It is. He has an uncanny ability to be able to make work look like it's fun all of the time. Good bloke.

I know you will. You've always been the strongest out of us four, in my opinion. I'm glad you know we are here for you.

I'm definitely up for dinner. I'm not really fond of having to fend for myself all of the time. It'd be bloody great to have a nice homemade meal.

Hahaha. *cough* Excuse me. Yes. Towering pillar of masculinity. Mmhmm.

Good bloke, indeed.

Thank you for thinking so. Right now, it doesn't really feel like that. Here's to hoping I can get back to that whole 'strong' feeling.

This week then.

Why are you laughing?

Maybe...I don't know...maybe it's time to put certain things behind us?

[_susie_bones_]

Sounds good to me. Just let me know exactly when your mum wants to have it and I'll be there.

Oh, um, no reason at all, Macmillan. No reason at all.

Oh, Ernie, I would love to be able to wake up tomorrow morning and just not care anymore. And it would be so much easier if I just knew something. But knowing nothing is making it so much harder to let go. I want to. Oh Godric, do I want to. But I don't know how. I have no idea how to.
