Completion: Complete.
Dear Ronald,
I never had the chance to express my gratitude for the chess match. Despite your victory, which was purely by luck I assure you, you were most hospitable when it was surely your right to be bitter.
I can only hope I will be able to persuade you into another match. You are by far the only player (beside perhaps Dad, but one can only go so long hearing about muggle telephones and lottery scratch cards. Also I believe he's still quite sore with me.) in the family and out who is enjoyable to play against. I fear I have created a monster though, you are possibly too good. You were the only one who actually took to playing I admit - the twins set the pieces out and managed to teach them how to tie shoe laces together and generally attack feet. It took a long while and good scolding from Mum before they helped put the pieces straight, though I wouldn't trust the little demons anywhere off the table again.
I suppose what I am trying to say is I would very much enjoy a rematch, or perhaps just a lunch. The Ministry schedule is so erratic lately with all the trials and internal investigations it's hard to say when we could go out. If you send me a date I would be glad to try and clear my schedule. I'd love to hear more about all that had been happening with you in my.. stretch of absence. In particuliar with Ms. Hermione Granger - may I say you are quite lucky. I have never met such a clever girl in my life.
If lunch falls through I'm sure I will see you when I visit George's shop again. I'd like to see him sometime in the near future, besides briefly at the ruckus at dinner. I suppose I will have to go in the afternoon to see you all - I'm not.. fond of the idea of being surrounded by so many children with their pocket's full of pranks. Forgive me but I've had those tricks used on me since before most of those children were born, needless to say I am erring on the side of caution.
I hope your decision making is bearing fruit, please remember all I said. I may not be as insightful as Bill or practical as Charlie but I would like to believe I can say the occasional good bit of advise.
I'm sorry this letter comes so late, Ministry work you know. I was unsure of when I'd see you next so I decided to write.
Hope you are well,
Percy Weasley
