Chapter 1: letter one

Chapter Text

dear kara,

 

hey kara, i know you're probably upset with me right now. god knows i would be too, but you deserve an explanation.

 

i know i told you could come with freddie and i to the shop, but i just don't think it would've been safe. you're safer at hogwarts. with harry and hermione. hell, even ronald. and i know i shouldn't have left in the middle of the night without telling you, but i just thought it would be easier. i know it was a dick move though. and i'm sorry.

 

diagon alley is looking bad. even worse than when you guys had visited. but fred and i are trying to keep our spirits high. people come to us for that, you know? they come to the shop looking for a laugh, and that's what we try to give them.

 

if i'm being honest with you kar, i'm scared. it's getting scary. i'm not there to protect you. and i know you don't need the protection, and if you did you are best friends with the chosen one, but i just feel so guilty that i can't be there. 

 

but it's for the best. you can finish your schooling, one of us needs to have a job. how will you find a loving husband without one? kidding, and you know that. but for real, it's good you didn't drop out. i know how much you wanna be a professor, and now you can actually do that.

 

anyway, i have to go, the shop is about to open up. again, i'm so sorry. but hey, come visit any time, okay?

 

stay safe kar

 

-george weasley
