Samantha is an exceptional receptionist, although she has some challenges when it come to communicating through the phone with clients or even scheduling appointments in person. The dexterity of her hands allows Samantha to type at speeds previously thought to be impossible while on a keyboard. She's highly efficient with organization and has a proficiency with computers as well. This job has been a true blessing for Samantha. It allowed her the opportunity to move out and support herself without having to rely on her father's assistance. No longer sharing the same household, though, has given birth to some minor bouts of depression every now and then. Thankfully, keeping in contact with her cousin and pen pal have helped these episodes subside. 

When Samantha returned home, conjuring a fresh cuppa milk tea and a heavily buttered biscuit, the young woman was surprised to find a red envelope awaiting her attention. It was laying flat on the tabletop, apparently enchanted with magic. Samantha seated herself, using [i]Accio[/i] to summon the crimson letter to her hands. Upon opening the seal, Samantha immediately dropped the parchment as it began talking. Literally, someone's voice was echoing from the inside! The voice was heavily accented, but not the same as her own. This speaker's dialogue was obviously British. It took just a moment for Samantha's horror to transfer into excitement. 

"George?" The speaker's voice continued reading the script aloud and Samantha cherished the sound. He seemed elated, telling her about the wedding and even offering her an invitation to attend on behalf of the happy couple. The softest of laughs escaped from between her lips as the letter came to a close. Samantha's hands reached for the discarded parchment and held it closely to her heart. Hearing his voice, after all these years, was truly marvelous. Wanting to return the favor, Samantha grabbed a piece of paper and enchanted it to record her voice while writing. 

[i]George,

Ah (I) wish that ah cuid (could) see th' weddin' 'n' catch up wi` (with) ye, bit (but) ah'ament (I'm not) sure aboot (about) goin richt (right) now. Mah (My) cousin is suppose tae (to) be comin' by 'n' ah (I) dun (don't) wanna miss her. Anyway, ah juist (just) git (got) aff (off) wirk (work). 

- Sam [/i] 

Nervously sealing the letter and additionally her own voice as well inside, Samantha was hesitant to send it. [i]What if George couldn't understand her accent? Would he laugh at her?[/i] Samantha's insecurities got the best of her. She fiddled with the letter until suddenly a loud knocking resonated from her doorway. Someone was there. Anxiously approaching the door, discarding the letter aside, Samantha walked over. Peeking through the small eye-hole, a feeling of pure glee filled her core. 

Whisking the door open, arms spread wide, Samantha enveloped her cousin into a smothering embrace. The letter automatically sending itself to the Burrow without her realization.

The crushing embrace of his mother had never felt so wonderful. Months without seeing his family had been difficult on Charlie, especially when it came down to his mother. He loves his family, siblings included. Living in another country makes it challenging to arrange visitation. However, for the current moment, he was home. Once Molly surrendered her darling son to greet his other relatives, she hurried to the kitchen and finished cooking the grand meal alongside Ginny. 

"Fred! George!" Charlie's long arms reached out, snagging each twin by the shoulder and held them happily for a few moments. "You boys sure are identical," he laughed once sparing a glance at their faces. "Still causing mum and Ron tons of havoc?" Charlie always enjoyed the twins trickery. He found it amusing. After chatting up with the twins, Charlie went to reconnect with his little sister and Ron. Finally making the proper introduction to Hermione Granger and Harry Potter as well. 

"George?" Molly called from the kitchen, peeking from the open doorway. "This just arrived for you, sweetie." She tossed a red letter through the air, enchanting it to land precisely in the proper twin's hands. 

"What's that?" Charlie leaned over George's shoulder, easily towering the younger sibling at 6'5". The twins are also gifted with height, but Charlie is the tallest in the entire family. A fact that he continues to taunt William with relentlessly. "A letter?" Seems his brother was popular with someone. "I didn't know you had yourself a girlfriend, George!" 

Romance is not an area that Charlie is familiar with, himself, but he couldn't resist teasing the younger twin. Preferring the company of dragons, rather than women, Charlie has not had much experience in the dating world. "So," Charlie dropped an arm over his brother's shoulders. "Who is she, mate?"
