Is it weird that I'm on vacation but I'm completely bored? Seriously. Harry's disappeared and Ginny's gone... off shopping apparently and I'm all by myself. Hermione's not coming until Christmas day so I'm on my own. And it's bloody annoying. Fred and George aren't even around to torture me. I went for a fly, I read all the quidditch magazines I own, I even helped Mum with some baking.

Someone entertain me. Please.

PRIVATE TO HERMIONE
Mum said I can come to yours for Christmas Eve, no problem. Your dad's not going to want to have the talk with me, is he? Should I have answers prepared?
END PRIVATE

At least tomorrow's Christmas Eve. Off to Hermione's for dinner ~~if I don't come back, Harry you get all my Quidditch stuff~~. Then Christmas Day, finally! Happy Christmas to everyone I won't have a chance to see.

You could use all this down time to catch up with some of your homework or simply relax. Perhaps your mother needs help with all the Christmas preparations, I'm sure she'd be grateful for your help.

Private to Ron
That's good news, mum and dad will be excited to hear that! Did Harry say whether or not he would be coming along too? My dad isn't going to give you any sort of talk outside of any regular conversation, so you need not worry about that.

	I'm not that desperate for entertainment. Plus, I doubt homework would entertain me much. And yeah, I've helped Mum a bit already. PRIVATE TO HERMIONE I don't think Harry's coming. It'll just be me. Good... they're not going to hate me, are they? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They were merely suggestions. I guess the only alternatives left are to stay in your room or go flying a bit. Private to Ron He just wrote to me and said he wasn't, so it will be just the four of us. Though, I can't figure out why you're under the assumption that my parents are going to hate you. They've never shown any animosity towards you before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You don't have to get them anything unless you want to. They'll understand if you don't and won't take offense to it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maybe some of the cookies I helped Mum bake? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Homework? Hermione! It's hols!

Private to Hermione
Sorry, I got a touch distracted these past two days, between my Healer session and just - life. Everything's fine, don't worry. Better than fine. Anyway I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to stick with the Weasleys on Christmas Eve. It's sheer laziness but at least I'm copping to it, right?

I best be getting a shower in. I have breakfast with Moody and Kingsley, and then I can return to the Burrow to have Molly insist that somehow over two days, I've lost twenty pounds. I'll see you Christmas Day. Happy Christmas Mione!

	Thank you! Holiday means reading for fun, like books on the Chudley Canons and Dark Arts Defense: Advanced Magicks for Most Vile Combat. Brilliant tome, brilliant! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harry, you really need to consider reading other genres besides those of Quidditch and DADA. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hjpotter 2008-04-02 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Remus gave it to me! As well as four others, and Moody gave me three, and Kingsley gave me one. Oi, wait: I have a book on Transfigurations from McGonagall, does that count? ~~The Use of Transfigurations in Battle.~~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	athenaspupil 2008-04-03 12:04 am UTC (link)
	I suppose that counts for something then. Though, when I said to branch out a bit more, I meant something away from actual school materials. It's okay to read for fun, you know. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Since when? Now. Watching Coronation Street for fun? Sitting down in front of the Beeb for half the day? That's fun. Installing a telly at Grimmauld was the best present to myself, ever. (Reply to this)(Parent)

That doesn't mean we don't have any that we have to complete before we go back. It's best to go ahead and get it over with.

Private to Harry
Of course I don't mind! I was merely offering because I thought it would be rude of me not to, especially since I invited Ron. I didn't want to make it appear as if I was snubbing you. But I am relieved to hear that things are getting better.

Say hello to Moody and Kingsley for me, and Mrs. Weasley when you see her later? You should take advantage of her food though, you know how much you like it and how much she enjoys spoiling you with it. Happy Christmas to you too, Harry!

Eh I have other reading that I can work on. That and sleeping until noon a few days a week.

Private to Hermione
And I appreciated it a lot. Though I rather think that Ron was hoping I'd decline. I think he's knotting his knickers over your father giving him the what for, but I swear, I have told him that he's bollocked. Not listening, though. But yes, things are better. Seeing the Order members, walking around the city in some of the Muggle parts where I'm just another bloke - time with Ginny alone? Things are much better since we last talked.

I did, and they send their wishes for a very Happy Christmas back, as well as Tonks and Remus, though you'll see them on Christmas. We're back at the Burrow, and Molly has already given me my own Yorkshire Pudding for lunch. She doesn't do this with anyone else! Do I look emaciated, Mione?

But she rather liked my new haircut, that was good, I suppose.

Private to Harry, Ginny can see now if she wants to

Ron is rather worried that my father is going to give him the talk. It's rather insecure of him to think so, especially since my dad isn't the sort to do something like that anyway. Besides, they both like him very much, so I can't see them being the least bit hostile towards him.

Time with Ginny alone? Were the both of you careful and sure to use a potion?

No, you look like you sometimes forget to have a meal here and there or that you overexert yourself where Quidditch is concerned, but you don't look emancipated. Mrs. Weasley has always been like that though, to everyone, but you especially for some reason.

You got a haircut?

Exactly. The talk, bloody hell. Ginny's been muttering about slipping him a calming draught before he goes over, maybe that isn't such a bad idea - ?

Yes, Mum, we were very careful, we used protection. It was - wonderful.

Now listen, eating is just something extraneous. I was raised to live with a little, I don't feel the need to make every meal per se. Molly seems disappointed if I don't have five helpings and lick the plate in between. I do try to satisfy her, though.

Yeah. It's - a bit longer than a buzz cut, I guess?

	Harry/Hermione/Ginny ginnyweasley 2008-04-03 12:28 am UTC (link)
	We did. Don't worry. ~~I can't talk about this in front of him!~~ And yeah...it was wonderful. He did! He looks completely, 100% different, but I personally think he looks dead sexy. Which means more girls pinning up his poster. Which means I'm now cranky. Bollocks! Bollocks to your sexy hair, Harry Potter! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harry/Hermione/Ginny athenaspupil 2008-04-03 12:31 am UTC (link)
	Good, I'm not sure anyone would be very pleased if something resulted from either of you forgetting, especially your mum and brothers, Ginny. What prompted you to get a haircut, Harry, and do you think it'll actually stay short for awhile? Usually it grows back fairly quickly, right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

You have no clue. I think we're all on the same page here. As we are all on the same page about not. Telling. Ron. Ever.

The stares, mostly. I had to go to Diagon Alley for a final purchase and it was the final straw, all of the stares, the people stopping me, the attention - I just - hoped I could disappear in plain sight, huh? The twins didn't recognize me at first, that's a good sign.
