[googlefont="Caveat:700"] Fred,
I appreciate your certainty, but my future hypothetical first-born might have multiple uncles, so you might have competition! And they'll definitely have honourary uncles, so you'll have to be very cool. You've got a headstart - don't waste it.
I promise not to tell any of them you think they're too old to be cool. It'd break Dad's heart, for sure. I'm not interested in doing that.
Well, meddling with James is alright. He needs a little meddling from time to time. He's dating Natalia Lestrange still, right? Be nice whenever you meet her - Andy, who's her little sister, was in St. Mungo's for a month recently because she had a mental break. So maybe no sanity jokes? Might be a sore spot.
No expulsion. Got it. Although Quidditch doesn't technically require any NEWTs, so I'd manage anyway.
Roxy

The solution to this conundrum is to only date people that don’t have any brothers. You have enough options already that excluding some people might actually be helpful in finding somehow to match with! And just so you know, any hypothetical uncles that this kid probably won’t have won’t be able to hold a candle to my coolness.
If you told Dad that, I’m pretty sure I’d be disinherited, and then you’d definitely have to work in the Wheezes. Just keep that in mind.
He is still dating Natalia as far as I know. He hasn’t asked me if I want to meet her yet, though, so I’ll wait for that before asserting myself as the most important person in James’s life, et cetera. Rough about her sister. I’ll try to avoid the sanity jokes, then.
Don’t bet your life on a technicality, Rox.

[googlefont="Caveat:700"] Fred, So, okay, my list of requirements for someone to date:
- Has no brothers. (Especially not cool ones, not that anyone could be a cooler uncle than Fred.)
- Isn't evil.
Anything else I should add? You can be all big brother-y and protective, I'll ignore the list anyway, probably.
Your threats are unnecessary! Cross my heart, I won't tell Dad you don't think he's cool, even though he tries so hard.
Hasn't he been dating her for a year now? It's okay, you're still the most important person in my life.
Roxy

That list looks good, but I’d also add ‘attractive’ to it. These genes are too good to waste on someone who’s not as hot as we are. Is that weird? Or gross? Or offensive? Honestly, I think working in the shop has skewed my perception of that sort of thing, so I need you to act like my conscience. I know you already do that anyways, but now I’m giving you permission to, so ha! (I don’t know why that’s ha-worthy, but I felt like a ha belonged there.)
You see, everyone says that my threats are unnecessary, until they’re totally necessary. Dad probably already figured out I don’t think he’s cool anyways... so maybe I don't have to worry about disinheritance. It’s Uncle Bill I’m more worried about.
Do you really think I pay attention to who James is snogging? I try not to think about it, actually. And I’d better be the most important person in your life!

[googlefont="Caveat:700"] Fred, Well, I'm hardly going to complain about that addition. It's kind of cocky, more than weird or offensive, but it's true. We have AWESOME genes, even if the conscience one skipped the male side of the family.
Oh, you're right. Uncle Bill is so used to being the cool one. And he's got a solid repetoire of nasty spells, what with all those years of curse-breaking. Disinheritence is not a concern - not that it really was for me anyhow - particularly nasty jinxes are. (Dear Uncle Bill, if at any point you're reading this, I think you're awesome and very cool.)
True, I try not to overthink who's snogging who. More power to them. Just do it... over there. Where I don't need to see. (That goes for you too. Except you have to tell me if you are. Because I'm your sister and your conscience and stuff.
Oh hey, Hogwarts gossip: Lily throws epic parties in the Room of Requirement, and I have excellent friends who spike the punch. And then we danced like fools. It was great. Lily suggested sparkly, light-up stickers that change with the music, that she could hand out when people show up. Think that's a Wheezes idea?
Love you! Roxy

Cocky I’m fine with. It’s not like our family’s from the gutters or anything. (I know that depends on the person you ask, but personally, I think our family is pretty kick-ass, so maybe we get a pass to be a little bit cocky. Or maybe this is just a circular logic kind of thing.)
I am not showing these letters to Uncle Bill! So that little addition was totally unnecessary and also makes you seem like the better kid, which we both know is totally untrue, since neither of us are kids anymore and I am totally better than you. So ha. Again.
Well, now that you’ve mentioned it, I want to know who’s snogging who! Especially our cousins, since apparently I need to know who they’re snogging, based on what you said about me needing to know James’s girlfriend and such. No snogging for me. Werewolf boy was a bust. What about you?
That is… honestly, pretty lame gossip. Back in my day there was at least a prank every week to report on, but I see you’ve been slacking on that. I do like the sticker idea… maybe not sparkly, but light-up stickers that change with the music could be good. Maybe like Muggle glowsticks? I’ll start working on a formula now.

[googlefont="Caveat:700"] Fred,
Circular logic, but whatever. It's true, we are a kick-ass family.
Okay let's see if I can get this all right: 1) Rose is snogging Scorpius Malfoy (again) since the Yule Ball 2) Al is snogging Dusti Flint 3) Anna's snogging a boy from Beauxbatons, Oscar 4) Hugo's still snogging Xanthippe. It's still sickeningly sweet. 5) As of the Yule Ball, Ondina was snogging Daryl Thomas, but I think that's been and gone. Probably more than snogging, actually. 6) Louis is snogging Georgie Linley - one of the Americans, you might not remember 7) Lily, Dom, me, Lucy, and... probably whoever else I've forgotten... are not snogging anyone. I think. I'm not, anyway.
Merlin, there are so many of us. That's enough snogging updates for one letter, you can wait for the rest of the school in subsequent letters. Or decide you don't care, which mostly I don't either.
Talk to Lily or Louis about why there are no pranks! I was never going to take on the role, and you knew it. The posters were enough from me. I would, however, like full credit for passing on Lily's sticker idea. I accept payment in bubble gum, as always.
Love, Roxy

That is a lot of the word ‘snogging’ to read all at once. Did you maybe consider getting out a thesaurus? I know you’re a smart girl, Roxy, and I would appreciate more syntactical variety. You bring dishonor to our family. But thanks for the info – I think I mostly knew all of that, since not much has changed from the summer (except for Anna and her foreign boy – ooh la la!). Good to hear that at least some of my cousins (and my sister) can keep their lips to themselves.
Even if you weren’t going to take on the role yourself, you could have at least bothered one of your cousins until they did! C’mon, Rox, don’t you have at least a little bit of family pride? As for payment, soon you won’t need me to buy you bubblegum, because you’ll have a job of your own. Don’t Quidditch superstars make more than lowly cashiers anyways?
