Private Owl to Parvati Patil
Parvati-
I'm so sorry I haven't owled in such a long time. Pig went missing, and I was really worried about him. And then I was so sure you'd owl when I hadn't, but you didn't. So then I was worried that your mum had warned you not to owl me or something so I don't even know if I ought to be writing this too you, but I haven't talked to you in ages now and I keep getting this sort of panicked feeling everytime I think about it.
Pig turned up again yesterday at any rate. I don't what he thought he was doing the whole time he was gone, if he fancies himself some sort of fierce predator or something. He's so stupid. I asked Mum if maybe she thought someone got ahold of him, but he seems normal and really, if you wanted to bewitch an owl, you'd do better to catch one that's not absolutely mental.
Is everything all right there? I had envisioned things going much better the first time I met your mum. I thought I'd be witty and charming and she wouldn't be able to help loving me and all of our problems would be solved. So sorry that I turned seventeen shades of red and lost the ability to speak when she stared me down and yelled asked what I was doing with you. Really, I ought to have been rehearsing for that or something. Although I don't know what you've told her and I'd hate to say, "I'm really very in love with Parvati" and have her keel over or anything.
And then that article in the Prophet, I don't know if she reads it but we're both mentioned and I thought she probably wouldn't like the reminder of how I nearly got you killed that. So I reckon it's good that I couldn't find Pig for a while because if he'd been here, I wouldn't have been able to resist owling, and she thinks I owl too much, so maybe this was better.
Mum's been eyeing my hair a lot. I think that means it's getting long again. So we should definitely arrange to meet again sometime soon so you can get it before she does. We could meet in Diagon Alley and go over to my house for a while- if you could think of a way to explain that to your parents. The cooking lessons are going quite well I think. I could make you dinner and everything.
I found a spare bottle of cologne the other day, and I don't think it clashes with my Ron scent or whatever you called that. Just because I thought you'd like to know.
I thought about just sending you all of the owls I've started in the last week, but as most of them say "PARVATI, I'VE LOST MY OWL. WHERE IS MY OWL? I'VE SEARCHED EVERYWHERE I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN STUCK IN THE CHIMNEY, NO HE'S NOT IN THE CUPBOARDS EITHER..." I thought I'd spare you all of that on about five different pieces of parchment.
I've been thinking about making some muffins and using them to try to lure Ginny out of her room, but I'm not sure what I'd do with her once she was out.
I've done all my Charms and Transfiguration work now. Mum keeps catching me at it. I think she's starting to entertain delusions that I might be Head Boy. I'm not quite sure how to break it to her.
I love you.
Yours,
Ron
