((This is an IC owl to Charlie Weasley but I had nowhere else to put it as hte owlery won't work as both of them are grown-ups so voila - here it is.))
Heya,
Don’t hurt the Ministry’s owl! While she may be in a little bit of a bad mood, she’s still far from breathing fire at you. Even if she is a bit spooked right now because Mad-Eye is glaring at us with both of his eyes right now. I heard you were involved in rescuing Hermione and Colin, that’s how I knew you were still in England. Must have been quite an experience to find them, but I’m glad the kids were found. The DE attack on Hogsmeade and Hogwarts was horrible. Why can’t they leave children alone?
But actually that’s not why I wrote. I actually need a favour from you. Or from your mother rather. Or maybe from you both. Kris – I have told you about him – is getting married on the 13th June. While he’s rather young I think he will be very happy, but I was wondering if your mother could perhaps suggest something for a wedding present. I have never been to a wedding before (does she have any suggestions as to what guests are supposed to wear too?) and I’m quite confused I must admit. Could you ask her? Pretty please with a dragon on top? Ah, good, Mad-Eye looked away. I can breath a bit easier now. Unless he decides to test my reactions and send a random hex flying towards me. The happy fellow as he always is.
Save me from going insane and get back to me with bright ideas, will you? While I’ll try to avoid falling asleep on my work. Wish I had known earlier how much paper-work being an auror requires.

Kitten,
I showed Mum your owl, and started to explain Kris's accident to her, but she already knew about it. She has yet to make a suggestion, but I'll owl you as soon as she does. She shouldn't take too long doing that, but for once she didn't automatically know. Sorry for the delay in the response.
Cute-Boy.
P.S. Mum says for me to tell you that you must come to dinner one day.

Cute-boy,
Well, the attack that blinded him was in newspapers. He has survived nicely enough, even if the accident didn’t do anything to make him friendlier. But thank you to your mother in advance. Does she have any suggestion for clothes? I only have one nice summer dress, but it’s white so I can’t wear it to a wedding. The wedding takes place in Italy. At least Kris is taking care of the traveling arrangements for everyone. I have to survive among SLytherins! How are your knight in shining armor skills lately? Want to come along and play a living barricade for me to hide me from all the over-confident brats that are bound to come there? The invitation says I can take someone along if you’d like to come?
And no worries. Your mother isn’t really even obliged to answer. I’m just getting desperate and I didn’t want to pull out my hair. Doubt I’d look any better while being bald.
Dinner? Isn’t that kind of pushy from my part? Even if I still remember the fudge your mom makes. It’s so light and fluffy and completely fudgy. The very best I’ve ever eaten. Does she even know that I ate pretty much all of the fudge you received from Christmas every year? It was wonderful though.
Kitten.
P.S. Don’t mind the parchment. Moody didn’t throw a hex at me but rather at the letter.
P.P.S. Was the powder on the letter supposed to turn my finger bright-green or are your twin brothers there too?

Kitten,
Mum has finally made a few suggestions, her first she's not too thrilled with because she wants to suggest something that the two of them can enjoy, and she knows Kris wouldn't be able to enjoy it, and that's a portrait. She has also suggested some more personalized, and valuable things such as a hand made wooden fruit bowl with raised celtic designs, or even a set of crystal look alike figurines, made to look like the happy couple. Her list goes on through vases, and even personalized dishes. As for what to wear, she really has no suggestion, except for something that you would wear to a ball or party. She doesn't want to suggest something not knowing what type of clothing you prefer.
My knight in shining armor skills are just as good as they were when you twisted your ankle. It would be my pleasure to attend the wedding with you, although that means that you have to come shopping with me for clothes, because I only have jeans and t-shirts with me now. I sent all my nice clothes back to Romania considering that they were all winter clothes. I also had to send them an owl letting them know I would be back in approximately a month. Didn't explain much, just that there was some business here that needed to be attended to.
Sorry for the green fingers, mine are the same color too. Teaches me to borrow parchment that I find in the Twins room. I thought Mum had cleaned out all of their joke stuff. I totally understand working with Moody, and the way he enjoys testing one's reflexes.
Mum says she didn't mean her invitation for dinner to sound so pushy. She apparently really likes you.
On a ending note, get back to me on when we can meet for shopping. Although I usually loathe shopping for myself, I have a feeling I'll enjoy it while you're around.
Cute-Boy.

Oh, I like the figurines idea. I even have a picture of Kris and Cleo together from one of their visits to me- seriously, did we sneak out of school that much when I was a kid? Well, I know I didn’t, but did you? Or is the youth of nowadays simply spoiled? But from the portrait I can have the figurines made to be like them? Tell your mom she is the absolute greatest!
Shopping? Eh, you obviously haven’t gone shopping with me before. I can never pick out everything, noting ever seems to fit and generally I’ll whine your ear off. I don’t mind if you bring ear-muffs. As long as they are fluffy. They can be rabbit-shaped too. Or hat two high rabbit ears coming out of them. As to when we can go shopping? Whenever you wish. I can call in a favour from Moody and get off duty two hours earlier. We have to do it quite soon however as the wedding is on the 13th of June. Let me know when it’s good for you or just pop by whenever (though not at 3AM, please. I need all the beauty-sleep I can get). I live in Anglesey. I think I gave you the address at some point. I’m not connected to floo though.
You’re in that good shape? Are you sure a knight like you doesn’t have an appointment to go rescue some princess already then? I’d be glad if you’d come along though. Do you speak Italian by the way? I don’t. I know the word Si and Signor. I’m afraid that won’t get me far however. But hey, why should I worry? I leave it to my knight in shining armor to get me out of trouble.
Invitation to dinner. I meant that wouldn’t it be pushy from my part to come over? Or is it common occurrence that you bring home random starved girls who would kill for cheese-cookie right now? Never mind. I just might not want to know the answer. All cats love cheese after all. But I’d be more than happy to come over one day then. Actually speaking of food – I think I’ll call in my favour anyway and apparate home and get something to eat for myself. Presuming I won’t hurt my ankle this time. Apparation isn’t any good. But I don’t want to walk all the way down to the floo-network chimneys. I want a peach too.
Kitten
P.S. Water and soap don’t work. It resulted in turning my fingers from green to purple.

This weekend would be a great chance to go shopping, perhaps if you are off Saturday, we could just spend the day together again. I won't mind if you whine my ears off, just means I won't have to listen to Fred and George so much. Those two, honestly could tease anyone about anything. I'll take a trip to Diagon Alley in a few hours and demand that they tell me how to get the green and purple off of our fingers. They will tell me or I'll threaten to bring a dragon home next time to feed them to. It used to work, maybe it still will. As for dinner, Mum insists. She isn't considering it pushy at all. She will expect you to bring your appitite as well. Between me and you, I think she's trying to play match maker again. Oh well, We'll see what comes of it.
Cute Boy
P.S. Look in the owl's pouch. There are some cheese cookies in there just for you.

Saturday sounds great. I’m off. Have no plans either. Or rather had no plans as I have plans now. And are you sure the threat would work? Considering how magical dragons are, they might just eat your pet and use it as material for their next pranks. I would appreciate some info as to get the purple stuff off however. Or maybe not. It might be good practice to get it off on my own. Then again I’m not sure at least I would be able too. Ravenclaw teaches book smarts, not street smarts.
And I’d enjoy a dinner. Just not while my fingers are purple? Matchmaker? What do you know. I’m flattered. No one has ever tried to match me with someone before. Now I’m even kind of waiting forward to it. Is there some etiquette to match-making I should know? I wouldn’t want to screw anything up after all. Would a request for Bambi-eyes Scottish-ness would be too much? Now stop frowning at the letter. It was a joke. A joke I tell you.
And thank you for the cookies. They look delicious. You… didn’t make them yourself did you? I know you couldn’t cook in Hogwarts so unless you have improved tons… is it safe to eat them?
Kitten
P.S. And don’t mind the ink. IT was a birthday present as my cat broke the other inkwell meaning my kitchen floor is covered with small black footprints. I wouldn’t have sent you rainbow-coloured ink otherwise.
P.P.S. And the paper was still remaining from school-times. When I was in love with the evil sorcerer in that children’s novel and wanted to write him a love-letter.
P.P.P.S. Laughing is not nice!
P.P.P.P.S. By the way, o you know with what the papers are scented? It’s not nearly bad, but I can’t really recognize it.

Saturday's a date then. As for the parchment and the ink, it's fine. And unfortunately I can't recognize the scent although it's a bit intriguing. I'm not sure that there's any form of Match-Making ettiquette that either of us should be aware of, so just be yourself and pray that the twins behave themselves. I swear those two will never grow up. Would never frown at any of your jokes, I live with Fred and George so I know how to take a few jokes.
And Yes, the cookies were made by me. I had to pick up a few skills from Romania and cooking was one of them. One of the other guys I work with taught me how to cook when he got tired of feeding me night after night. They are perfectly safe. I have ate my own cooking many many times, and I haven't been harmed yet.
See You Saturday
Cute Boy
P.S. Don't know what makes Mum think that I need a match-maker
