Bill Weasley's Journal

I'm glad to hear that things at Hogwarts seem to have gotten back to normal. It sounded like a right mess up there. Work kept me busy all this past week. It seems that the Hogsmeade branch of Gringotts is far less structured than the London branch, and it takes forever sometimes just to locate a file. We also had a number of withdrawals which almost wiped out our reserves. I'm not sure what the sudden rush was, but Carris had to go to London to request a restock.

I still intend on getting up to the castle soon. Mum has been quite insistant that I come visit, although why she doesn't come down and meet me in the town is beyond me. At any rate, it will do me some good to talk to my youngest siblings and see some familiar faces besides Fred and George.

I don't suppose the two of you intend on taking any responsibility for the mess you've caused, do you?

It seems that things at Hogwarts are quite... chaotic. From everything I heard, this giant April Fools prank that's been pulled has had some less than pleasant effects. I intend to drop by the castle to see if I can help, since the entire staff and student body have been affected in some way.

I can't believe I let the twins talk me into helping them with their mischief. What a mess. If Mum found out, she'd have the heads of all three of us. I had no idea that it would be such an effing problem. I must have a good talking-to with Fred and George. They've got quite a bit of clean-up to do, as do I. Merlin, why did I let them talk me into this?

I finally got into Hogsmeade and have settled in with Fred and George. I'll tell you though, I would not wish that couch on my worst enemy. It's a bloody nightmare. I'm amazed that I got to sleep at all. At any rate, I hope to see Mum, Dad, Ron and Ginny, and even Harry and Hermione, soon.

I also need to get in touch with Dumbledore and find out what the Order is up to out here. I certainly need to get involved as soon as possible, considering it's the main reason I moved out here. I'm just hoping not to be bored out of my mind until then. Hogsmeade is no Cairo.

The head board of Gringotts has finally approved my transfer to the Hogsmeade branch. Took them long enough though, considering I put in my request in September. But there's no accounting for goblins; they'll be as thorough as earthly possible. At any rate, I'll be glad to be near the family again. The twins seem more than happy to shack me up for a while until I can find my own place. From what I hear, their shop is really booming out there. I bet the Hogwarts kids are thrilled.

This transfer is none too soon. Fleur keeps owling me, asking to meet. We broke up a year ago; I don't see why she doesn't just move on. There's not really much I can do for her, as I definately have no plans of getting back together.

Yes, this transfer is exactly what I need.
