For those of you that knew him, Percy Weasley's left the City.

Maybe he'll be back or maybe the lucky git's finally gone home. There's usually something more to say in these sorts of posts but I can't really think of anything.

But basically that means Weasley's Wizard Wheezes will be closed until further notice while things are shuffled around. Don't worry—we'll get back to stocking you lot with pranks and joke sweets in no time.

Thanks.

My brother left the joke shop to the three of us, so if you'd like to talk about that, we can try and suss it out.

And if we haven't been properly introduced: hi. I'm Ginny.

We're a big family. It's easy. But I'm sure you've heard all that by now.

[unflagging]

I've heard a little, yeah, which is why I really am sorry your brother ended up leaving the City.

[hexuality]

It's alright. I mean, I'm sort of used to it—which sounds awful, I know, but I'm the youngest in the family. The rest of them always get to head off somewhere first and I'm supposed to wait my turn. It's how it's always been.

Gives you the advantage of knowing what's coming, maybe. Or, maybe that you'll get your turn eventually.

[hexuality]

A bit of both, I suppose. Besides, I've gone home twice.

What about you, Rory? How long've you been here?

[private;]

[unflagging]

Sounds like it was his turn, then.

Two months, I think? Yeah, two months--almost exactly. In other words: not long.

[private;]

[hexuality]

Funny. The first few months felt the longest to me. Different perspective, I suppose.

[private;]

[unflagging]

Well, they've been an interesting couple of months.

[private;]

[hexuality]

Yeah? Nothing like home, I expect.

[Lying again.]

Yeah, I can't say we've ever had an outbreak of zombies in Broken Bow, Nebraska. So it's pretty much nothing like home and more like the movies.

[And this is all completely untrue because...I mean, this is the guy who brought a world to its knees, killed a few kings, ruined ancient and noble kingdoms, and succeeded in getting a cowboy addicted to a magic grapefruit-colored crystal ball. I mean, really.]

[Oops.]

Closest thing to zombies back home are called inferi, but I can't say being bitten by one would do any good. They'd sooner kill you. Then again, I got bitten a few weeks ago and that wasn't all sunshine and daisies, either.

[That and, you know, boxes of these flying things lying around labeled "HARRY POTTER MODEL SERIAL #465-17-CC NDJKR 'Don't Mess with the 449! We'll Kick the Slytherin Out of You!'" and stuff...]

"Inferi." Can't say I've ever heard of that. No surprise there, though.

I heard it wasn't exactly sunshine and daisies. I think I got lucky. Either that or I'm good at hiding. I'm glad of either skill.
