All right. I get it. I can get really caught up in work. Charlie does too, someone go take it up with him this time instead of me. My poor ears.

So the time Harry and I spent at Hogwarts wasn't as productive as I'd hoped it would be, but we have most definitely made progress. Good progress. I'm very eager to get back and see what else I can

Family getting to you?

Your garden sounds a little like the one I am curently watching through a high, arched window. You would like it, I dare say. It is riddled with twisting paths and little streams. I used to enjoy getting lost in it when I was a child.

[fangearring]

Nothing I'm not used to, believe me. I love my mother, but I think she's grown fond of scolding.

I agree, I do think I'd like it. I'm fairly certain that your garden is not teeming with gnomes, though. They add some character to ours in a different, equally untamed respect.

Oh? And you don't take the time to get lost anymore?

[slanting_eyes]

I would say you are old enough to be allowed to ignore it if it becomes grating.

No. No gnomes. The odd winged serpent, though.

I know my way around now. But yes, I do. Especially this visit.

[fangearring]

And I do. Politely. My mother, at any rate. If I ignored Ginny there'd be hell to pay and then some.

Winged serpents? Now, that's really not fair, I am supposed to be enjoying my family's company and then returning to work besides, and yet you continue to dangle Brazil just out of my reach like that. It's cruel of you, Blaise.

That's very good to hear. I'm glad for you.

Well, it took you long enough!

Easter Sunday? You come home for one day and expect people not to be annoyed. Forgetting the fact that I forget that Ron and I, in close quarters, have a tendency to not be able to stand each other after the first few hours.

You'd better have brought chocolate because Fred and George just raised the bar for older brothers.

Please, Gin, defending myself to Mum is difficult enough, I don't think I'd survive your wrath after hers.

Yes, I stopped at Honeydukes on the way home, as well as a few places in Diagon Alley. But really, I don't know if I could compete against Fred and George. They're in a league of their own.

Don't you try and skirt around me, William Weasley. You knew that what you were doing was going to rub people the wrong way so you'll pay your dues if you like it or not.

[fangearring]

You're right. You win. Is there any way I can make it up to you or am I just going to have to suffer your displeasure?

[solitusvir]

It's fine, Bill. I mean, I was the one who agreed. I could have just went home with Ginny and Ron instead.

I'll see what I can do about the castle once we all get back to Hogwarts.

[fangearring]

And I really appreciate it, Harry. All necessity aside, you were a great help and you've been a real sport about all of this.

[solitusvir]

Once you ignore everything creepy about it, it's sort of fun. But I am glad to be back.
