I Hope You're Happy Now (Sir William)

[Deleted]

Dear William,

How is life? How is everything? The Triwizard Tournament is happening at Hogwarts this year; don’t worry I didn’t put my name in the Goblet. I could have; people have encouraged me, but it’s just not something I want to risk my life for. Too many good things to live for, you know? How is Isla doing? Last time we spoke she’d had some sort of work injury, I do hope she is doing better now!

It’s been a month now since we talked about you leaving the cursebreaker life and going back to your royal duties. Do you still feel like you made the right choice? I’ve always thought you to be the most royal of us all (except for me at balls!) but I just want to be sure you’re happy.

Hope to hear from you soon - give my love to Mum.

Susan

Dear Su,

Things are going well! Isla is recovering form her injury and she's gonna be on her feet in no time. Being stuck inside is killing her, but she'll get through it. She has a pretty handsome companion to be by her side, so, it can't be that bad.

I heard about the tournament, glad you didn't enter. Mum couldn't handle that right now. You do have a lot of good things to live for! Like becoming the Minister of Magic someday, right?

Awe, yes, that. I haven't talked to Isla about it yet. I don't want to stress her out. I'll get back to you on that.

Mum sends her love. How are Ed and Lucy? Lucy has written me a bit, but I want to know your thoughts.

Love Love,

Sir. William Windsor

Sir William of House Windsor,

I can imagine, she sounds like a very outdoorsy person so being inside must be horrible! Me I probably wouldn’t be too fussed, especially if someone was waiting on me hand and foot. I’d be worried though about that handsome companion with her - don’t let him steal your spotlight! (I’m kidding). Have you met any of the medical staff that just came on this year? I broke my wrist this summer and one of the Mediwizards fixed me up in no time!

I do need to be Minister of Magic someday, you’re right. I’m thinking being maimed or killed in a Tournament where theres a slightly big chance of that is NOT the best idea to achieve these goals. Plus, I promised a friend I wouldn’t and I keep my promises.

Speaking of, you should tell her! She’d want to know what she was getting herself into, ha ha. But seriously, if she loves you like you say she does, she’ll be understanding. And when she panics about her first ball I’ll be there to help!

Ed is fine, I’m about 95% sure our little Eddy has a GIRLFRIEND. I can’t say much more because I don’t know anything more, but he may be needing your advice in another department soon.

Sending all my love to everyone - tell Marcella I miss her cleaning up after me!

Love,

Su

@william
OOC: Marcella is their housekeeper, I’ve decided ^_^

Dear Su,

Geez, do you have to use that whole title? Your very funny. Haha, nah, it's okay. I like the attention

Yeah, Isla doesn't like being waited on so much. She would prefer to do things herself... luckily she's letting me help her out every once in a while, so that's nice. I try not to be too... overbearing? I don't know, I think it's okay. I haven't met any of the new people at the hospital, no. How did you break you wrist? I must have missed that.

Who knows, maybe some day you'll be the Minister of Magic and I'll be the Prime Minister and we can do business together all the time! That would be fantastic. I'm glad you keep your promises. And thank that friend for me?

I'll talk to Isla, I promise. Just busy right now. I'd love if you could gif her some help, hopefully she allows that! Ha.

A... girlfriend? What? I doubt he'll tell me about it but if he did I'd love ot help him out but... let's be real, I'm asking you for advice, so why doesn't he?

Marcella says she loves you and misses you too. She dusts your room often, wanting it to be spotless when you come home.

What are your living plans after graduation anyway?

Love love love,
Will

Dear Will,

Don’t lie; you totally get a thrill whenever you read your name full out like that!   

Have you tried taking Isla outside? Is she allowed to go outside and maybe get some real fresh air? I think she’d like that; I think maybe even I would get some cabin fever eventually if I was cooped up for that long (depending on how much waiting was being done on me of course!) I broke my wrist after falling wrong on the sidewalk (go figure), but luckily a mediwizard was able to tend to it immediately. He was Head Boy last year - Casey Finnegan. Nice chap. 

Oooh please don’t tell Ed I told you; he’d kill me! He came to me at the beginning of the year to ask for girl advice about his best friend (who I didn’t know he had), but from the way he was talking about her it became very clear to me that she meant far more to him than just a friend. I see them in the halls together sometimes, and they look really happy I’m glad for him. It’s funny though, you two are in relationships and I’m the single one, yet I am the one who is so great at giving advice! 

I think I’ll come home, if you’ll have me of course. It’s close to the Ministry which is ideal, and then eventually I assume I’ll find my own flat, with someone who will put up with my high maintenance. Maybe I’ll steal Marcella to come clean this hypothetical flat for me  

Love You! 

Su

Dear Su,

All right, all right. You got me. The fancy title was pretty cool. Maybe King will be added to it.

I'm sorry it's been a bit since I've written! Isla is finally out of the Hospital and I haven't been able to get two seconds of relaxation since. The girl is like a.... Collie or something. Just running around with so much energy. It's giving me motion sickness.

Oh, I know of Casey! He's only a few years younger then me so we did have school together for a while. He's a good guy. Are you guys friends?

Okay, I swear I won't talk to Ed, promise. You can handle the advice on that front. I'm glad they look happy. Is she in his house? Slytherin? And don't worry about being single, Susan. You have plenty of time for that stuff. That's why you're good at advice, you're not distracted from being a part of it!

Mum would love it if you came home, Su!!! So would I, obviously. And I'm sure Marci would come clean for you. She sends her love, and this box of chocolates.

Love love,
Will

(Included with a box of chocolates from Marcella XD)

Hi Will,

Don’t worry, I’m so glad to hear Isla is out of the hospital so I forgive you for taking your sweet time responding to your dearest sister. Does she own a dog? Maybe you should get her a dog; one that likes to run around so that you stop getting so much motion sickness. 

You could say Casey and I are friends; we had lunch the day that he fixed up my wrist (he wouldn’t even let me pay as a thank you!) and we’ve been corresponding via owl ever since. I don’t think Lysander approves of him much though… 

The box of chocolates was delicious thank you! Definitely didn’t eat them by myself in two sittings (okay one), nope. She always knows my favorites and I can’t resist! I think I will come home then at first at the very least. I’d like to take a holiday though after graduation as sort of a present. Probably to Paris; you know how much I simply adore that city. The shopping, the river cruises, the romance. I’m sighing aloud just thinking of it. 

Also, excuse me. What do you mean King will maybe be added to your title?? Is there something you’re not telling me?? 

WRITE BACK SOON. 

Love, 

Su

Dear Su,

Well, she lives on a farm so there are plenty of animals, dogs too. More than one. She has a lot of animals to run around with, Su, but I like being with her. Even if it means running around like a crazy person. Heck, I'd do that for the rest of my life if she wanted me to.

I'm glad you guys are friends! Sorry about Lysander, though. He's probably just protective over you and worried about you. Just tell him to trust you and make sure he remembers how much you love him. If he loves you too he'll understand eventually.

Hah! Marcella is so pleased you liked the chocolates. Paris would be fantastic. I could come with you, if you wanted. Not sure how I feel about the romance though... maybe you should bring someone else.

I was joking about the King thing! Though, Uncle Richard's health is deteriorating rapidly. Did mum tell you? I mean, we don't know him that well so she may not have. That makes me third in line for the throne. I hope that doesn't happen, though, of course.

I WROTE BACK!

Love,
Will

Dear Will,

Aw, sounds like someone is in LOVE. Have you said that to her by the way? Did she run when you told her? Kidding!  You just sound so very happy brother dearest, and I am glad you've found the person that loosens you up a bit!  I don't want you to come on a romantic trip with me to Paris!  Perhaps Casey will come with me if things progress the way they are.  He's meeting me in Hogsmeade on Saturday and he simply won't give me any hints on what is going on.

I do hope so, but trying to find the right time to talk to him about Casey has been difficult.  He had an accident you see, and its' left him blind.  The Healers hope that it is only temporary but nobody knows for sure.  Hopefully he'll get more answers in the coming weeks; one of the most acclaimed Healers at St. Mungos' is coming to have a look at him to see if there's any way to speed up a recovery process.

It comes as no surprise to me that Uncle Richard is in poor health; you've seen his girth.  You would make an excellent king though; would Isla like being called Queen Isla though?  That sort of sounds like that Muggle movie 'Frozen' remember with the ice queen.  Not that Isla sounds like she'd be an ice queen of course...nevermind.

Has there been any news on the New Years Ball?  We have the Yule Ball here for Christmas of course, but we are allowed to go home after that for a week or so.  If it is still happening, you know I will be there!

Love You,

Su

Susan,

Love? Geez, that's... a big word. No, I haven't said that to her. She probably will run... but then she'll run back. I hope. I think.

And yeah, I guess she does 'loosen me up', sure. It's an adventure every day, that's for sure.

　

Casey and you in Paris? What a thought! Tell me how your Hogsmeade meeting goes? Surprises are good, if you trust the person, so that sounds fun. But... maybe I'll have to have a talking to with him soon!

　

Oh no, poor Lysander. I hope he's adjusting okay! I'm so glad he has you to help him through it. Was it an accident in class? Man, poor guy.

　

DON'T EVER SAY 'QUEEN ILSA' out loud. She'll hear you and then never speak to me again. And no, she wouldn't be like Elsa, haha, she likes sunshine too much.

　

Mum says information on the ball should be coming mid November, so I'll get back to you. I expect you all to come.

　

Love,
Will

Will,

Good to know - I won’t mention how much you lurve her when I finally get to meet her then I’m glad you’re on this kind of adventure; you’ve definitely needed it! I think she sounds like the exact thing you were missing in your life. You’ve taken on this responsibility of ‘father’ since Papa died and you need someone to remember to stop and smell the roses every once in awhile!

Oh goodness, where to begin with this date to Hogsmeade. It started off quite lovely; he’d prepared a picnic of Madame Puddifoots food for us to eat outside since it was so nice. We talked and then I ended up giving him a short waltz lesson. Then...I fainted. I ended up having a bad stomach bug, but Casey got me back to Hogwarts and stayed with me until I fell asleep for the night; he wouldn’t leave before then. It was nice to know that he cared enough to stay, and it made me feel really good. Of course now HE has the stomach bug, but he says it was worth it.

I eagerly am anticipating hearing the details; with a few more lessons perhaps Casey would actually be presentable to society! I’m assuming that if things continue and you bring Ilsa I’ll be able to bring him with me?

Love Love Love,

Susan

@susanvictoria,

Did you really just write 'lurve' on a letter to a member of the royal family? Maybe you need some reminders of etiquette since you've been at school for so long, sweetheart.

It is a good adventure, isn't it? I've never really... Okay, okay I'll say it. I've never really felt this way before. Like I'll do any of the crazy stuff she asks me to do. And yeah, the roses smell good, but that doesn't mean I don't still have responsibilities. I still do, maybe more than I did before. Anyway, I just feel like I have a lot more going on in my life right now, and most of it is good!

You painted?! I'm so sorry, I hope that didn't ruin your day. I'm glad that Casey was there to help you out. I'm not surprised that he wouldn't leave until you fell asleep, he seems like the type. That's why I like him. I hope that he feels good soon. Maybe I should go and visit him? Hahaha.


I will be bringing Ilsa. It would be great if you could bring Casey, as long as he knows that it's a no magic situation. But I'm sure he would handle it well. Are you guys free next week? I was hoping to come to talk to you and the others about the ball and some other things going on at home.

Love ,

WILL

[Deleted]

Hey Will,

I certainly do NOT need etiquette lessons as we know my manners are wonderful. Simply playful banter between an elder brother and his charming, delightful sister. But you definitely do love Isla, I can just hear it in your words. Don’t worry your secret is safe with me for now Oh did I tell you Casey signs his letters love.

I am worried about Casey. He is really sick; he has dragon pox. I’ve written several times to the Healers at Saint Mungos demanding to know status updates; one finally wrote to me out of sheer exasperation to say she would let me know when casey could have visitors. So I suppose my lessons have paid off after all!

We’re free next week; just give me a date and time and I’ll make sure everyone is there.

Love,
Susan

@susanvictoria ,

Okay, okay. Just be quiet about it, all right? Yeah, keep it a secret. What was that you scribbled out? I saw the word Casey and LOVE in there. What are you trying to say!? You can trust me.

Oh, dragon pox isn't going to kill him, Susan, Leave those poor healers alone. I'm sure he's going to be just fine.

I'll be there Monday at two!

Love,
Will
