Molly

Dear Mum and Dad,

So, I'm in Ravenclaw! Roxy is in Gryffindor, as Uncle George probably told you already, and Dom's been really helpful, she's showed me around and everything. The common room is pretty cool – you have to answer a question to get in! Vicky's said hi a couple of times, and she promised to show me to Transfiguration tomorrow, so that's good. I promise I'll write to Grandma and Grandpa. I promise not to get into any duels. I promise that I'll do my homework.

Love,

Molly.

Sarah –

Have you done your Transfiguration homework? I forgot. Can I copy yours – I swear, I'll let you copy mine next time!

Molly.

Rox,

I'm really not loving the new nickname. 'Mollster' is terrible. Pick something else. Oh, and yeah, I might've got into a couple of minor fights. Minor. It's not my fault – I didn't know how to duel with Stefan so I took Uncle Ron's advice and punched him. It didn't go down well.

Molly.

Dad,

Thanks for the howler. It was only mildly embarrassing.

Molly.

Grandma,

Is it true that Grandpa blew up the shed? How the hell did he manage that? No, second year is going okay so far, and Louis seems to be settling in. He's pretty popular, actually. I PROMISE that I'll stay out of trouble this year. Or, at least, I'll try. I am trying… it's not like I meant to get so many detentions last year, call it a learning curve. Oh, and Domi asked if you could send her some fudge, because apparently Vicky gave hers to Teddy. Those two are so in love, it's ridiculous.

Love,

Molly

Mum and Dad,

So, I know you've probably got the letter by now, but I thought I'd just say – I'm sorry! It was an accident, and Professor Fortescue thought that the gargoyles were sort of funny, so no harm done! Oh, and Drummond is out to get me, so whatever he wrote in that stupid letter is probably a lie anyway. It wasn't that bad.

Molly.

Dad,

What do you mean, you wish I was more like my sister? She's eight! You wish I was a whinging little cry baby?

Molly.

Roxy,

Second year – it's legendary! I haven't written to Mum and Dad for a while, I'll write when I have something they aren't going to criticise. Professor Longbottom was proper nice to not tell on me – I didn't fancy detention again this week! Have you written to Grandma and Grandpa yet? I've nearly finished my letter, so I'll send yours too, if you want.

Molly.

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

Louis is all settled in now, and I've attached Roxy's letter. I think Dom is taking Divination this year – I heard her complaining about it. I went for tea at Hagrid's yesterday, which was great, except he can't cook. How are you both? Is Grandpa enjoying his retirement, or has he gone mad yet? I figure this gives him more time to tinker with his muggle stuff.

Love you,

Molly.

Mum and Dad,

I know you're mad, and I know it was a tasteless joke. But honestly, the dragon blood washed off the wall, and everyone knows that the chamber of secrets doesn't have a monster in it anymore, so no harm done. Professor Fortescue wasn't that mad.

Molly.

Freddie,

I can't wait til you get here next year, then maybe the adults will stop giving me a hard time. We all know you're worse than I am! Is it true that you and James set off fireworks in Flourish and Blotts? I bet Uncle George was proud. Not a wise move, though, doing that with Grandma there.

Pick your moments, baby cousin!

Love,

Molly.

Dear Mum and Dad,

It might be too soon to tell, but I'm fairly certain that Fred and James are going to be more trouble than I am. It's been two days, and they've already managed to cause utter havoc. I'm telling you this, not because I want you to give them a lecture, but because I want you to be grateful that I'm actually a good student and model daughter in comparison.

Also, third year stuff is really interesting. I love Ancient Runes. Hey, do you reckon that they'll be looking for curse-breakers at Gringotts when I finish school? That would be amazing!

Love,

Molly.

Sarah –

So, Roxy told me that you told her that you've got a crush on someone. Who is it? Eh?

Sarah –

Okay, so not in Ravenclaw… umm… Hufflepuff?

Sarah –

Gryffindor?

Sarah –

He's not, he can't be in SLYTHERIN? Right? Please, Godric, don't tell me he's in Slytherin!

Sarah –

Yuck! What can you possibly see in Zabini? He's such a poser.

Dear Mr and Mrs Weasley,

I am writing to inform you of your daughter Molly's unacceptable behaviour. It saddens me to report that there was an incident last week where your daughter performed a bat-bogey hex on a member of staff. Fortunately, the incident was resolved quickly, and Molly claims that the hex was accidental, so there will be no further punishment from the school than the two weeks' detention I have already issued.

Kind Regards,

Filius Flitwick

Head of Ravenclaw House.

Dear Dad,

So, I'm writing this because I know you'll get mad if you read the letter without an explanation, but honestly, it wasn't my fault! Sarah and her stupid Slytherin boyfriend were there, they can tell you! I didn't mean to hit Drummond with a bat bogey hex, I was aiming for Zabini's friend, and he deserved it.

I don't know if you know anything about Jeremiah Smith, but he's a complete pain, and he was spouting off and being really mean about you, so I obviously wasn't going to stand for that. I hope you understand. I was only sticking up for you.

Besides, Professor Fortescue managed to do a counter-curse, and Drummond wasn't too traumatised, so it all worked out in the end.

Love you,

Molly.

Dear Gran and Grandpa,

How was Wales? God knows why you wanted to go on holiday there, but I hope you had fun all the same. Fourth year is okay so far. Al and Rose are settling in alright into Gryffindor, Roxy says, and they're nowhere near as much trouble as Fred and James, so that's something.

Oh, and Grandpa, I was wondering if you could show me some of that muggle stuff that you have in the shed next time I visit. I don't know why, but I'm really interested in it. It's so weird how they find ways to cope without magic, and it beats listening to Dad about cauldron bottoms.

(Don't tell him I said that)

Love,

Molly.

PS – Gran, can you send me some homemade fudge? I'm really craving your cooking.

Dear Mum and Dad,

Everything's good. I haven't been in trouble all term, so you should be proud of me! Give my love to Luce.

Love,

Molly.

PS – Can Sarah stay for Easter? Zabini broke up with her, and I want to be supportive and stuff.

Vicky –

I am too taking OWLs seriously! What on earth are you insinuating?

Dom –

Yeah, I'm free. Majorly curious about your 'big news'… Meet you in the common room later tonight?

Dear Mr and Mrs Weasley,

I am writing to you about your daughter Molly's unacceptable behaviour. I realise it has become something of a routine these past few years, but I thought you should be informed that last night, your daughter hosted a party in the Ravenclaw common room which not only distracted several students from their crucial OWL and NEWT revision, but involved underage alcohol consumption and resulted in property damage to several items of sentimental value to both the school and Ravenclaw house.

I have personally issued her with three weeks' detention for her actions.

Kind Regards,

Filius Flitwick

Head of Ravenclaw House

Sarah –

That howler was NOT funny. My dad's voice should never be allowed to reach that decibel level.

Vicky –

It's not very nice of you to take pleasure in my humiliation. That HG on your badge must stand for Humongous Git.

Dear Grandpa,

After Careers Advice with Professor Flitwick, I've decided that I've found my calling! You'll be so proud – I want to work with muggles. Professor Flitwick told me that I'm really good at charms, and so he suggested being an Obliviator. I think I'm going to go for it – after all, I can't fix my own mistakes, but at least I can make up for it by cleaning up after everyone else!

Love you,

Molly.

Dear Mum and Dad,

Okay, Sixth Year, fresh start! I'm taking the fact that I achieved ten OWLs as inspiration for turning over a new leaf, I promise. Also, just so you know, Muggle Studies and Charms have gotten really complicated this year, so I'll have incentive to get my head down. I really want to work for the Obliviators.

Lucy says hi, and she asked me to ask you if you could send her broom with your next owl. Stupid idiot forgot to pack it.

Love you both,

Molly.

Dominique,

How goes the training? I'm so proud of you! I tried to get Dad to talk some sense into your mum, but you know what he's like with education, so that's out! Still, even if most of the family think you're daft for dropping out, I think it's awesome.

Wish I could drop out. Sixth Year sucks!

Kisses,

Molly.

Rox –

He's not my boyfriend. Honestly.

Rox –

I don't think so. Feel free to ask him out, if you're interested. It's about time you got over that crush you've had on Neville, anyway. It's been six years, cous.

Dear Mr and Mrs Weasley,

I know you've come to expect bad news with these letters, but I am delightedly writing to inform you that your daughter Molly has shown such outstanding commitment to her studies this year that she has earned a fantastic opportunity for someone her age.

As you are no doubt aware, Molly has expressed a desire to join the Obliviators, and as such, I entered her name two months ago into a fantastic summer internship for her with the US Federal Bureau of Magic. Yesterday, I received a letter telling me that your daughter has been accepted to the programme. It is a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and after careful discussion the school has decided to gift her with an International Studies grant so that she may explore her potential without the expense to your family.

Enclosed is a permission slip and all the relevant forms. I urge you to talk this over with Molly herself, because she seems extremely enthusiastic about the prospect.

Kind Regards,

Filius Flitwick

Head of Ravenclaw House

Rox –

I know, it's a huge deal. I can't believe they offered it to me.

Mum and Dad,

You've probably got Flitwick's letter, but I'm going to tell you anyway. I got accepted to this summer programme in America to study with the Obliviators. Apparently, it's a massive honour, because they never accept people who still have a year of study. Please can I go?

Love,

Molly.

Luce –

Have you read the letter? I honestly think that's the first time Dad's ever told me how proud he is of me.

Dominique,

America is awesome! Last night, I tagged along on an operation where we had to obliviate an entire New York subway station. It was insane – someone had let a chimaera loose, so they had to call the Control of Magical Creatures guys as well. Roxy just told me – Quidditch for England? I'm so happy for you!

Merlin, look at us, all grown up and doing exciting things with our lives. Who would've thought, eh?

Love you,

Molly.

Sarah,

I've met a guy, finally! His name is Dan, and he's amazing. Dad will probably freak out – he's twenty-two, and American, and he works for Control of Magical Creatures Division. Whatever, though, I'm happy. I miss you loads, but I never want this summer to end!

Love you lots like Firewhiskey shots!

Molly.

Dan,

Yeah, I totally get what you mean. Time is dragging, and studying isn't exactly as stimulating as chasing after a man-eating briefcase intent on hunting down Wall Street stockbrokers. Seventh year is such an anticlimax after this summer. I miss you a lot, but it's good that the Bureau wants to take me back at the end of the year, so nine months isn't such a long time.

The weather is miserable. I miss the sun! Oh, and my family are really excited to meet you at Christmas. You're still getting in on the fifth, right?

Have a great Thanksgiving next week!

Love,

Molly.

Dear Miss Weasley,

Congratulations on your NEWT results! We are hereby writing to formally offer you the position of Junior Obliviator with the Accidental Magic Reversal Division. Please respond with your answer by owl at your nearest convenience.

We look forward to working with you again,

Ricardo Volantis,

Director,

Federal Bureau of Magic.

Mum and Dad,

So, I've just arrived in the good old US of A, and I'm already sunburnt. Washington is every bit as awesome as New York, and the academy training schedule is manic, so I don't know when I'll be able to write again.

Dan says hi. Our apartment is really nice – kind of small, but it's got a great view of the city. You can actually see the White House from my window! I can't wait for you guys to visit.

Give my love to Lucy,

Molly.

Sorry I haven't updated this in aaaaaaages. I'm back on track now, though, hopefully. Up next, Louis!
