001 - Back at the Burrow
I suppose I ought to have owled, but you should have seen the look on my mum's face when I turned up this morning unannounced. Felt late to me, but apparently I had forgotten the time difference and surprised her before she had a chance to get coffee on (which would be no big deal for anyone other than Molly Weasley. Word to the wise: do not rob this woman of the chance to be a good hostess).

I haven't lived at the Burrow since the week after I graduated Hogwarts, and have only been home for a few days at a time. Seems strange that I will be there until I can find a place I call my "own." How do I even go about doing that? In Romania, I built a cabin. Perhaps I could do that here? I'm sure mum would get a hoot out of a miniature cabin for her son to live in, just on the other side of the garden.

Speaking of, mum's none too thrilled about Păcală and Luana taking up residence with the owls.

I feel as if I have been out of the loop for so long. So, what's new, England?

They really are quite incredible. You ought to check one out up close some day. Just not a Horntail, if you can help it.

You are a brilliant Quidditch player, Meg. Don't doubt it, ever.

That is a fair point. But I suppose you'll have Potter and I'm sure he'll attract a decent younger crowd next year. My sister included.

We ought to have some sort of reunion with the old crew. Pints all around.

I wouldn't say you're a spinster just yet. You have time. Though, I'm married to my dragons, so I understand how you feel.

I should. If only I knew a dragonkeeper who had an in to make it happen.

Oh. I. Thanks, really. I'm...thanks.

We might have Potter. He still hasn't signed yet. I'm sure he has other offers. I'd like it if he did though, I don't know who we'd get otherwise. Our reserve Seeker is pushing 50.

Oh yes. Whole crew. Yes. ~~Wouldn't want to be too familiar-like...~~

No, I really am. I have proof. And dragons are probably better company, but I get it. The cats never judge my consumption of alcohol or my inability to dress myself without looking like an idiot. I'm kind of getting better at the latter, even as I'm far worse with the former. No one's perfect, I suppose.

A dragonkeeper? I heard that one of those recently returned to town.

No need to thank someone for stating the truth.

~~Alright, fine.~~ If Potter doesn't sign, I'll try out for the team. I might be rusty, but I'm half your reserve's age.

Right? It would be a great time! ~~Is something wrong with the whole crew?~~

Dragons don't judge, either. Or perhaps they do. With fire.

Did they? Well maybe you can put in a word for me then.

I don't know, seems right to thank someone for complimenting you. I'm horrible at accepting compliments, really. I generally assume they are just trying to be nice. Which is awful, I know.

I'm sure even rusty you couldn't be worse...well, he's good, just old and slow. When you say it like that, it makes me feel less ancient.

It will be! Er, there is nothing wrong with groups at all, don't mind me, I'm silly.

Trial by fire, I hear is the best way to learn. Do or die.

Maybe we could do a drink after the game. To catch up, like. If you want, that is...
