Letters

So, where have I been? One word: internship. I’ve been absolutely swamped. This chapter is short, but I felt like I should give you guys something.

On the relationship between Harry and Rika. I see them as having a similar relationship to Padfoot and Moony. Rika is constantly annoying Harry and rambling about how cute he is, and acting like she has a huge little brother complex, whereas Harry gripes and complains, but really loves all of the attention.

“Do you have all of your clothes?” Remus asked.

“Yes.”

“Hygiene products?”

“Yes.”

“Nutrition potions.”

“Yeeees.”

“Wand?”

I rolled my eyes. “Yes Mama Moony, I have everything I could possibly need.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes. Absolutely.”

“You’re sure you need nothing else?” He asked, smiling.

“Moony, yes! Stop talking! Yes!”

“Well then,” he sighed, airily, “I guess you won’t want to pack this IPod I have lying around…”

I gaped at him. “I-IPod? I can have it back?!”

“I wouldn’t feel right letting you go to the Dursley’s without a little music on your side.”

I launched myself at him, causing him to release a small ‘ooph’ noise. “Thank you! Ohmygosh, I love you so much! You’re the best guardian ever!”

He rolled his eyes, chuckling. “Careful, you’ll make Pads jealous.”

“Did I hear someone call for the great and majestic Padfood?” Sirius said, walking into my room.

He held out his arms and I let go of Remus to hug him. “I’m gonna miss you, pup,” he said, ruffling my hair.

“I’ll only be gone for a month. Then you’ll have me and Harry to bother.”

Sirius grinned, eyes sparkling youthfully. “Just imagine the torment the three of us will unleash on Moony!”

Remus sighed, already looking tired. “Be on your best behavior.”

I turned giving him a strange look. “You want me to behave for the Dursleys?”

“No, I was talking to Sirius; I don’t know how I’m going to survive a month alone with him.”

Shaking my head, I grabbed a handful of floo powder. “Bye! Take care! Don’t kill one another! Love you!”

I stepped into the flames and called the name of the train station where the Dursleys were to pick me up.

Tonks knocked cheerfully on the door to Remus’s house. The door was answered by her cousin, Sirius, who quickly beckoned her inside. “Tonks, you’re just in time to read the letters!”

“Letters?” She asked as Sirius steered her into the kitchen. Remus was seated at the table, thoroughly engrossed in a piece of parchment. On the back of his chair stood a snowy owl.

“Harry and Rika wrote to us,” Sirius explained.

Tonks nodded. “It’s been two week since she’s been with the Dullsleys, hasn’t it? How’s she holding up?”
