Molly sighed and read over the letter again. She felt badly about excluding her children's friends from coming, indeed some of them were more like family, but they needed to be able to be together as a family without hiding behind their friends. She waved her wand and the letter copied itself onto five blank sheets of parchment. She addressed them and tied them to Errol's leg.
"These go to the children, Errol. Make sure they get them and don't mix them up!" She said sternly. Errol looked at her reproachfully, and took flight.
To our lovely and charming children:
Since the weather has been so lovely, we've decided to have a family picnic on Sunday out in the apple orchard at noon. Please bring a blanket and your broom if you want to fly or play some Quidditch. And this is a Weasley only picnic, so you can't bring your friends - sorry! We just want to spend some quality time with our children and not have to share you.
Write us back and let us know that if you can make it! Errol needs exercise.
Love Mum & Dad
