Harry...

[alt_draco]

I'm sorry, but we just barely got to Buckingham when Mother decided we should leave to be there for Auntie Bella's baby. I really begged them to let me stay but Mother just wouldn't budge. I didn't see you anywhere and there wasn't any time, so I left your presents with some elf, named Dobbsy or something, and he promised me that he'd make sure you got them before today was over.

Granger, I don't know if Harry's been reading the books anymore, since he hasn't written in ages. I know you have the day off or something, but if you see tell him what I wrote, would you?

I just got home from the fireworks and all. And I saw Aunt Narcissa's post.

Did your cousin get born yet? Hey, if he did, he'll share Freedom Day and Harry's birthday. Won't that be nif wizard?

[alt_draco]

He was born sometime after eleven and before midnight, yeah, so everyone's making a pretty big fuss about it.

[alt_pansy]

Well, it's kind of a big deal, I think.

Aren't people born on the same day supposed to be, I dunno, linked or something? Like my mum told me that her great-grandmother and her grandmother both shared birthdays. And they could sort of find each other no matter what.

[alt_draco]

Well I don't know, there was probably other babies born today, not just here but all over the world. They can't all be linked to each other, can they? Maybe its because your grandmothers were related that it mattered.

You didn't get to see him at all? That's really awful.

Could you see the fireworks from your Aunt's house? I don't know where she lives, exactly. We could see the London fireworks, just barely, the really high ones. But our town also had their own fireworks show, too. It was nift.

[alt_draco]

No, I didn't.

If we'd been at LE'Strange Hill, which is in the middle of nowhere Hampshire, near Pennington or something, I wouldn't have seen a bloody thing, but luckily Auntie Bella and Uncle Rodolphus (and Hydra) were all staying at St. James, so there was a good view from almost all of the windows. The noise sort of drowned out the screaming.

[alt_padma]

Why was there - oh.

I dunno. I want my own babies when I grow up but I don't want to have to scream when it happens.

Maybe hearing your aunt like that will make your mother decide she doesn't want another baby, either. Or does she? I didn't see her answer you. Not that I was looking, I mean.

[alt_draco]

I think she's avoiding giving me an answer, but maybe the screaming put her off the idea. Auntie Bella's screams are really scary, too, I think Hydra ran away and hid somewhere. I'm definitely glad I'm not a girl.

Well Harry says he's been writing but I don't know if he's telling the truth. And he says of course he saw what you wrote, and that he'll see you at camp. He was a little miffed I think.

[alt_draco]

He hasn't been writing. I haven't seen him write anything in about a month. Or is it just me and I'm not seeing what he writes for some reason. I guess you wouldn't know, would you.

Miffed, really? It takes a lot to get him miffed. Blast.
