Fred,
Thanks. I appreciate that you're willing to let me talk to you. And it's not your fault I'm behind, I've been the one slacking. I know you can't see this, but I'm rolling my eyes at you right now. Not doing your homework doesn't make you bad, but you're right, not turning in homework isn't really my think. I wouldn't say I'd rather die though ... if I don't get caught up I might very well give up on a few assignments and just hope they slide by without making too big of a difference.
I guess that's true. But until things go bad with the people I consider my family, I'm just going to trust them because they haven't given me a reason not to yet, right?
I am fine, it's just weird since you've been here every other year. Different, not bad.
~Anna @fred

dear anna,
You, rolling your eyes? Anna Weasley, I thought you were supposed to be the sweet one! Or, as sweet as Weasleys can get, since none of us are in Hufflepuff. Lame, right? I don’t think that the professors care that much. You’re their Champion! Just talk to them about getting an extension or something. I’ve heard that they do that, sometimes, though apparently ‘I was busy planning a prank’ is not a legitimate enough excuse to get an extension. Again, lame.
That’s a good way of thinking about it, I guess. Speaking of family, though, I have a question for you. I saw Roxy at Hogsmeade the other day, and she mentioned that there were some of our family members at the Gay-Straight Alliance meeting. Were you…one of them? I mean, are you gay like me? It’s fine if you’re not, it’s just that you’re the only one other than Roxy that I still talk to semi-regularly, and I was curious.
I was kind of hoping that you’d be bad without me, but ignore my ego. Love you. yours, fred @annelise

Fred,
Me, sweet? Wait, you do know who you're talking to, right? Actually, I'm not sure if any of us Weasleys really are sweet ... we're all pretty good at taking care of ourselves, no matter what's going on. Ooh, I'll have to try your extension idea next time. It's a shame you didn't say that earlier; I just spend a few days trying to catch up on everything! I did it, I just have no energy for anything now. Ha, I'm sure I could come up with a legitimate excuse ...
I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to ask me. The truth is that I was not at the meeting and I'm not gay. Actually, kind of along those lines, there's this guy from Beauxbatons that I just started dating, if you want to know the truth. I haven't really told anyone yet though. I mean, it's not a secret, I'm just a little nervous about how Dad will respond. You know how he's prone to overreaction? He'll probably say that all Oscar wants to do is keep me from winning, and I just don't want to deal with him right now. Do you have any suggestions about what I should say??
Ha ha, it would be way better with you here, if that helps. Love you too!
~Anna @fred

dear anna,
Well, if a Weasley had to be sweet, you’d be pretty high up on the list. You and Roxy, I think. I agree that none of us are objectively sweet, but in comparison to some of our cousins – well, my cousin, your sister – you’re like sugar. I’m sorry that brilliance takes time and that my brilliant idea wasn’t quick enough for you. Sorry that you’re burnt out, though. Next time, just skip the work, jeez. Or, I guess, do what I said…
It seemed like it was worth asking. As for this Beauxbatons boy, I think I’m fine with that, as long as it’s not the Champion. It’s not, right? Because that would be awkward. Can I shake him down for you? Give him the whole ‘hurt my cousin and you’re dead’ talk? Because I always wanted to do that with Roxy’s boyfriend, but she hasn’t brought home anyone yet, so my practice has been ruined. But yeah, maybe hold off on telling your dad, at least until after the Tournament or something. Or just tell him that you’re pregnant, and then rescind the comment and he’ll just be glad that you’re not pregnant, and any other news will seem mild in comparison.
It does help! (Love you more, twerp.) yours, fred @annelise

Fred,
Alright, I guess I can take being sweet as a compliment when you put it like that. Especially when you start comparing me with Lucy. I don’t want to be thought of as harsh or cruel like I know lots of people see her. I still love her though, of course. I’ll use your idea next time though. Now I’m just going to make sure I don’t fall behind again. At least until they tell us what’s happening for the second task.
He’s not the Champion. His name is Oscar and he actually started doing things with me months ago, before the Champions were announced. The more time I spend with him, the more I care for him. Ha ha, when would you have time to give him that talk? Aren’t you pretty busy working? And he’s here at school with me. I mean, if you really want to practice you can go ahead, but I don’t really think it’s necessary. My dad would kill me if I did that! Even if I told him right away that it wasn’t true. I do think I’ll wait a while before I tell him. I mean, it’s not like I owl my dad a lot, so if I did tell him he’d know something was up. Sorry, I guess I’m just bouncing all my ideas off on you. Hope you don’t mind.
Glad I could help. And how is calling me a twerp showing me you love me more?
~Anna @fred

dear anna,
Compared to Lucy, you’re practically cavity-inducing. I love her too, but damn, that girl can snap. I saw a picture of you two hugging after the First Task, though. She must be really happy for you. As for next time, I’m glad that my idea helped. If you get any info about the second task, you know who to owl. (Me. The answer is me. I’m curious and also really good at keeping secrets, I promise. I just want to know!)
Well, if he’s not the Champion, I don’t care. I’m glad that he doesn’t like you just for the Champion thing, I guess. That would be kind of awkward. I understand what you’re saying, about spending more time with someone and caring for them more. I haven’t been able to spend much time with the person I told you earlier I cared about, and I think that maybe he might just not be into me, so…Sorry, this shouldn’t be about me. Anyways, I am busy working, but I would be willing to take a day off to intimidate your boyfriend. As for Uncle Percy killing you, don’t worry. I’ve got your back. I don’t mind being a sounding board, as long as you don’t mind that all of my suggestions are a little absurd.
Nicknames always show people that you love them! Twerp is a nickname. yours, fred @annelise

Fred, Lucy is ... I would not say that she is happy for me. I think she was just happy that I didn't come in last place during the Task and that I didn't embarrass myself too much. Not that she cares about me embarrassing myself, but if I embarrass me, I embarrass her. Does that make any sense? Either way, I know she's not happy for me. She wishes she was the Champion. Did I ever tell you what happened the night the Champions were announced? Also, don't worry. I will let you know as soon as I receive any word about what the second task could be. I'm going to need as much help as I can get if it's any harder than the maze was. I'll keep you in the loop. I promise.
I'm glad you understand. I'm nervous that anyone I tell will think he just wants to be famous through me, but I don't believe that at all. I'm sorry you haven't been able to see that person very much. Do you mind if I ask who it is? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, I was just curious. Hmm ... I will give you permission to intimidate my boyfriend (not going to lie, I love writing that word!) as long as you promise to spend some time with me too. Thanks. I guess if Dad goes crazy, I'll just avoid him for a bit. Would you mind me coming to stay with you for a bit if it happens in the summer? And I like your absurd suggestions. They're funny and you have good ideas too.
I'm not sure Twerp is the kind of nickname you have for someone you love. That sounds more like a nickname for someone that annoys you .... but I still love you, whether or not you're annoyed by me.

dear anna,
I think I get that – she’s happy that you did well, but not for your sake. That’s lame. I know I don’t know much about having a twin, but from what I’ve heard of my dad and his brother, they were really close. Do you think that you and Lucy could ever be like that, or…? You don’t have to answer. I’m just trying to understand how our family works. No, you didn’t tell me what happened the night the Champions were selected, but I’m assuming that it had something to do with Lucy. And thanks for keeping me in the loop – I think it’s one of the best places to be.
Fame is a strange thing, huh? Maybe you could ask our family how they dealt with it – they’re all pretty famous in their own respects, and might have something to say about it. I…thought I told you already. Elias Greyback? Maybe I forgot. But since he’s in school, and I’m at work, it’s kind of hard for us to, you know, see each other. And I think he likes a girl anyways. Hmmm…I get to do something I enjoy, but I have to promise to do something else I enjoy, too? Wow, Anna, this choice is really tough. Of course I’ll spend time with you! (And not just so I can intimidate your boyfriend, though that part will be fun, too.) Right now I’m still staying with my parents, but I’m sure they could spare a room for you if you needed to get away for a bit during the summer.
I’m not annoyed by you, Anna, I promise, but I have to assert myself as the jokester king of all time somehow, and calling people slightly offensive nicknames is the best way to do that. Sorry not sorry. yours, fred @annelise

Fred,
I think she was only happy I did well because she's my sister and it looked good. You know, I would love to be close with her, but ... I don't think that will happen. Lucy seems to think that there's some sort of competition between the two of us because we're twins and she thinks she has to beat me or something. I don't know, it's hard to explain. Yeah, it had a lot to do with Lucy. She waited for me at the Gryffindor common room entrance so she could yell at me. Basically it was all about how I didn't deserve to be the Hogwarts Champion, how I was going to fail and embarrass myself in front of everyone and how I'm never going to amount to anything. And she said it might be interesting if the papers got anonymous information about me ... but I think she was bluffing about that. I'm not going to lie, it really messed me up for a bit, but I think I'm over that now. Maybe that helps you understand why it was so weird for her to hug me? And why I don't think we'll ever be really close with each other.
I should ask our family how they handle fame. Thanks for that idea! Oh yeah, I think you did tell me that. Sorry, I forgot. My mind has been all over the place lately. That does make sense, and I'm sorry things aren't working out with him the way you wanted them to. Ok! Then feel free to come whenever. I probably will warn him that you're coming though, just so you know. I don't want you to freak him out. Ha ha, well I'll let you know if I need to escape my parent's house then.
Well, I guess I can forgive you, but is it really necessary when it's just between you and me? It's not like anyone is going to know if you're nice to me, you know.
~Anna @fred

dear anna,
That’s…a bummer. I wish I had something better to say to that, but that stinks. I mean, I’m still going to hold out for Lucy, because I really do believe that people change, but I’m not expecting you to do the same or anything. I just felt like saying it, in case you felt bad because no one was on her side or whatever. Does she…have anyone? Romantically, I mean? Romance can change people, I’ve heard. I mean, look at James. Apparently the Lestrange girl has made him a lot less pigheaded, not that I see a difference. And your dad! I bet none of his siblings ever expected him to find love, the prat that he is (sorry, but you know it’s true), and yet here he is, somehow miraculously married to your mum. I’m sorry that Lucy attacked you, though, even if it was just verbal. I understand why it would be weird to have her hug you after that kind of display, though. Kind of bipolar.
I’m sure it’ll fix itself soon. Either I’ll get over it or he’ll show some interest or some third option I haven’t thought of yet. Don’t warn him, otherwise it won’t have the same effect! You can’t cramp my style!
I have to make sure I don’t slip, Anna. If I make an exception once, it’s just a slippery slope until I’m nice to everyone, and then where would I be? yours, fred @annelise

Fred,Yeah. Sorry I unleashed all that on you. I haven't told hardly anyone what happened with Lucy, but you can go on holding out for her. I'm hoping that the hug meant something is changing, but trying not to get my hopes up. I ... think so? Do you know Asa Creevy? They came to our house this summer and I think Lucy might be interested. At least I know they both did things together this summer. I think. I might be wrong. Lucy's never really confided in me so I can't be sure at all. I would love it if romance could help her like it is with James ... and like it did with my Dad I guess. I obviously didn't know him before, but I've heard it all before. I think Lucy gets her "act tough and don't care about anything" attitude from him. Sorry that was mean. I love them both, I just have a hard time connecting with them. Thanks. I think I'm over it now though. Well good luck! (not that you need it) Fine, I won't warn him. Don't you dare scare him away though. Really, I don't know if I'll be able to forgive you if you do that. Wow, so you don't have enough fortitude to compartmentalize? Just don't put me in the same category as everyone else and then it's easy to be nice! ~Anna@fred

dear anna,
It’s fine. I’m here to be your sounding board whenever you need one, though you can’t really expect much of me, emotions-wise. I’m about as emotionally mature as a three-year-old. Which is to say, not mature at all. I do know of Asa – they were in my graduating class. Isn’t it a little weird, that the two of them would date when they share some of the same cousins? I mean, I get there’s no blood ties, but still, weird. At least to me. And you don’t sound too sure of anything, so maybe you’re just making things up. Not to call you crazy, but you know, it’s easy to misinterpret romantic intentions. Do you think that it will help her? I didn’t speak much to Asa, so I wouldn’t know, but if they visited your house, you must have talked to them, right?
I won’t scare him away. Besides, if he’s able to be scared, is he even worth your time? I don’t think so, but hey, that’s just me.
I have plenty of fortitude, but no desire to compartmentalize. Just be happy I talk to you at all! yours, fred @annelise

Fred,
Well I guess an immature sounding board is better than none. Just kidding, I'm glad that I can talk to you about it. To be completely honest I hadn't thought about how Lucy and Asa have some of the same cousins. Hmm ... I guess that is a little weird, but not necessarily in a bad way. I mean, I liked Asa. When they came over to our house, I was the only one there so we talked for a bit and they helped me find all my things so I could pack for school (yes ... it might have been the day before school started. Don't even pretend like you didn't do that- I know you did too!) I could be making things up, except if I've heard correctly, they're going to the ball with one another, so wouldn't that mean something is probably going on there? I don't know if it will help her. I hope so, but I don't know.
Good. Don't scare him away. And I'm only worried about that because I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up with quite a few cousins questioning him at one point or another. Maybe he'll realize how crazy we are. But I think he's worth it, so I'm saying that's what really matters. (though I'm always glad to hear your opinion- though I may not listen! I'm stubborn that way, you know)
Well fine then. I guess I'll just consider myself lucky to be corresponding with you then.

dear anna,
Rude! I mean, I don’t think it’s really a problem, since they’re not like, biologically related or anything. That would be weird. Like, really weird. Illegal, maybe? I’m glad that you liked Asa, though. Honestly, was kinda worried about who Lucy would choose as a life partner, because she’s…well, Lucy. But anyways, yes, I am totally a procrastinator, but I actually pack in advance so that I can safely hide pranks within my trunk where they won’t be detected. Going to the Ball together doesn’t always mean they’re dating? Ugh, I want to ask. Should I ask?
I don’t scare anyone away! And if he was scared away by lil ole me, then maybe he shouldn’t be your boyfriend! Has he met any of the Hogwarts cousins yet? Because I would run away screaming from a relationship if I found out anyone had a cousin like Roxy. Just kidding – I love Roxy. But Lily? Wow, talk about intimidating. I know that you might not listen to my opinion, I’ve kind of gotten used to talking to the brick wall that is my sister.
Aw, don’t take that tone with me, young lady. I can sense sarcasm, and I don’t appreciate it. (I love you.) yours, fred @annelise

Fred,
Oh come on! So you can dish it out but you can't take it? If you can tease me, then I can tease you back. I guess it would be weird. I think Asa is good for Lucy. I haven't actually seen them together, but it just feels like a good fit, if that makes sense. Like, I met him and I kind of know her and it just seems like things would go well with them. But no, I haven't actually asked if they're dating. I'm pretty sure they are though, but feel free to ask if you want to. Just make sure you tell me once you know for sure!
I didn't say you scare people away. I just said don't scare him away, as in don't try to. He's met Lily, but she was kind of distracted, so it actually wasn't too intimidating. I think. At least, he didn't change his mind about taking me to the Yule Ball after talking with her. (thank goodness!) I do still want to hear your opinion though.
Whatever. You love the sarcasm. It means we've still got real Weasley representation at Hogwarts. (love you back)
~Anna @fred
