An Opposite is a Perfect Match (MC x Garreth Weasley)

A Series of Correspondence

My Daughter,

I have heard from headmaster Black that you are excelling in your course work, and that you are also maintaining a healthy social circle. It brings me joy to know that you are thriving in your new school, despite your grandfather's fears that your Beauxbatons education was not up to standard. I do hope you are maintaining appropriate relationships. Headmaster Black's report of your close company included a few worrying names. Sallow, Onai, Blume, and Reyes, I believe? Perfectly acceptable families I suppose but not very influential at the ministry. Remember your connections can influence your father's position at work.

It is good to hear that you still spend a fair bit of your time with Ominis Gaunt. He is a fine young man. I am happy that you have transferred schools only for the opportunity for you to see him so often.

Continue your good work, it will pay off once you graduate.

Your Loving Mother

My Dearest Daughter,

I am so glad to hear that you are settling in at Hogwarts so well! I know that the transition was hard; you excelled at Beauxbatons! But your grandfather was right, you needed more of a challenge and Hogwarts is the perfect place to find challenges. I mean, for schoolwork, I mean. Life there should be perfectly pleasant, and if it is not, please alert me at once!

I am not surprised you were sorted into Slytherin house. Ambition runs thick in Wintrell blood.

Have you been making friends? I am sure you spend much of your time with Mr. Gaunt. A good boy but do try to branch out a little. Friendships can take you far—they are just as important as your marks.

Do not worry too much about my work at the ministry. It is long and exhausting, and simply a bit boring at the moment. We are currently drafting an edict to prevent the crossbreeding of Acromantulas and Thornback Spiders. A few of these vile creatures have been found, specifically in the north. I don't know what possessed those people to create such an afront to nature. Once the edict is presented though, things will probably get exciting.

Do keep me appraised of your studies and adventures! You know hearing from you is the highlight of my week!

Your loving Papa,

George Buchanon Beauford III

To my Little Sissy,

The final year of the ministry's Auror program really is grueling. There are some days I am able to sleep only a few hours, and many weeks where I stay awake for multiple days without even a wink. We, of course, are not allowed to discuss details, but we are finishing our sleep deprivation training soon and will begin fear suppression soon. It is truly awful, but we persevere for the sake of the wizarding world. We will be its strongest protectors one day. It is all necessary in that way.

I am sorry I write so little. But reading your letters is like feeling sunshine after a cold rain here. I hope you will continue to send them so frequently. Sometimes I tell the other trainees what you get up to in school; they find your adventures as silly as I do.

Love,

Georgie

My Dearest Granddaughter,

Your potions master, Professor Sharp has personally reported your excellent work in his class. I am so happy to know that you are adjusting to a tougher curriculum so well! I was worried your sub-standard education at Beauxbatons would leave you...underprepared, but it seems all our hard work from the summer has paid off! Continue to excel in your studies, my dear; you, and your family, will benefit from it.

Yours,

George Buchanon Beauford II

Rosaline, 

I was so happy to receive your last correspondence! The Hogwarts House Elves must be talented indeed, if your accounts are to be trusted, which they most certainly are. Perhaps you could charm a few of them into sharing a recipe or two and make them for me, next you are home.

Ah, home is dull without you, little Honeybee. Your grandfather shuts himself away in his lab every day, as usual, but there is not nearly enough laughter or cursing to be entertaining now. Your mother sits with me often and has taken to delivering my afternoon Wiggenweld potion. She always brings a lovely little tea service to wash it down, but the scones are not nearly as good as yours.

I am happy to hear you are making such wonderful friends. It is good to hear you are making a comfortable place for yourself, even among those who are less enthused by your name, or family, or your school house (truly what an awful young man this Mr. Prewett seems. I hope never to meet him). But my little Honeybee, do tell me more about this Mr. Weasley. You mentioned him but once in your last letter and yet I sense there is more you are not telling me. I will not stand for it! I must know if he apologized appropriately, or if he too is as much a Moonmind as his friend.

I await your response most excitedly,

Gramma Tevera
