I have to say, I'm loving the Olympics right now. Oh how darling the girls competing in rhythmic gymnastics are. Simply amazing, I almost wish I asked mother if I could have done taken it up when I was 6.

Not only that, but England won three gold in Equestrian. Oh, it's all simply fantastic.

Oh Bunny, you simply must come over this week and watch the group events for the rhythmic gymnastics. Oh please say you'll come over.

And, if anyone else is interested. I could even talk mumsie into letting me make a day of it. Like a party, only less mess.

[Can you feel his frustration and irritation from the other side?]

Then maybe you lot should stop then. And stop calling me ducky, I'm not a bird.

I don't even want to try and think of him in that.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Oh but you're very sweet when you're teased. And I call everyone ducky, it's endearing.

I think there are a great many people who are in the same boat as you there.

[di_intraining]

I'm glad someone's having fun, but I'm not. For God's sake Victoria, we're going to be in 5th year. I thought we're pass that stage of teasing already.

I think he'd be good at archery though; he's got damn good aim.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Oh don't be silly, Greg. No one is ever past that stage of teasing.

Arthur's got at a great many things. He'd be good at a lot of things in the Olympics.

[di_intraining]

We can't stay kids forever. Eventually we're going to have to grow up.

I agree with Archery, but you're stretching it a bit much don't you think? You always think so well of him.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Mumsie still picks on Daddy. So clearly, growing up has nothing to do with how often you tease people.

He's a great person, of course I think well of him. He's a good runner and he also has a fair arm so that's also good for throwing events.

[di_intraining]

Your mum does that?

[Tact Lestrade, tact.]

He's lucky to have you around then.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Of course she does, she loves him dearly. And if forever giving her ammunition to be honest. I swear his finds her teasing funny.

He doesn't need me around to be lucky.

[di_intraining]

Guess all parents aren't alike then.

For crying out loud You know what I mean Victoria.

[And by that, he means Arthur's less than stellar relationship with his brothers.]

[nobodyscrumpet]

Admittedly my parents are a touch strange. But when a muggle marries a witch and a witch marries a muggle, it's not going to be exactly normal on either side.

He'd be luckier if I could look after him better.

[Isn't all that much of a defence against them really.]

[di_intraining]

Trust me on this, Muggle marriages aren't always normal either.

Don't be You do a g I think Arthur appreciates what you do for him.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Well then I'm glad they're not the strangest out there.

He'd do the same for me.

[di_intraining]

It's bette Strange isn't too bad. At least they love each other and you.

I'd bet my life on that.

[nobodyscrumpet]

I'd like to think the love me more than Peter.

You know, maybe you aren't as woeful as I thought you were. You're a good friend.

[di_intraining]

Peter's your younger brother, right?

I'm no Thanks. It's a nice sentiment. I'd like to think that I'm not messing up my friendships.

[nobodyscrumpet]

More like a Cornish pixie that mumsie took pity on.

If anything, Arthur could be the one doing that by accident.

[di_intraining]

You haven't seen my sisters. I bet they'd give your younger brother a run for his money with their tricks. I have a feeling they might end up getting letters to Hogwarts in the future; some of their pranks just scream magic. You can bet Dad's not too keen on that.

He's a little prickly at times, but he's damn loyal. I haven't had a friend like him since, forever, I think.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Maybe one day we can unleash them on each other. It could only make the world a better place by tiring them all out. Or summon the four horsemen.
Your family still isn't quite at home with magic then?

A little prickly? I say he must have been on his best behaviour around you then. And I would say stupidly as opposed to damn. He really is a darling boy though.

[di_intraining]

Bloody Hell, it'd be the apocalypse alright.
Not really. Dad's still a bit of a sceptic about it. Mum's never really said anything either.

I've never had any problems with him. Serious ones, at least, and nothing quite as bad as the first time we met each other.

[nobodyscrumpet]

If it gets him out of my hair, I welcome it.
Daddy only came to terms with it when I came home my first year, according to mumsie.

Oh... What did he do to you?

[di_intraining]

I'd feel bad subjecting the world to the twins and their mischief.
That's not too bad. My dad prefers not to talk about it.

Did he never tell you?

[nobodyscrumpet]

I'm sure the world will carry on.
I'm sure he'll come around eventually.

Arthur ends up having a lot of strange things happen to him when I'm not around. It's hard to keep track.
