A/N: Hello! Okay, this is my first chapter of Letters from Hogwarts. So baisically, this is all in letter format. This first chapter doesn't have too much to do with the rest of the plot, as it picks up 14 years later when the marauders begin Hogwarts. This is just starting the story off, so deal. Also, I'm not sure if all the dates in this are correct. Some, I actually check, some I don't, or they don't fit with the story. (Ex: Bella and Lucius are in James year at Hogwarts, and Andromeda is the eldest sister. I know this isn't how it actually fits in the real HP, but you'll have to bear with me.) Please, review. Oh, also, this chapter is by no means the best, so if you don't like this one, please keep reading, at least to the next chapter.

Dear Professor Dumbledore:

I am writing to you as an old student in need of a little help. I recently left my job at Borgin and Burkes, and find myself requiring an occupation. As I have always been interested in teaching, I was wondering if perhaps I may interview with you for a job as the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher, a post that, I believe, has been recently vacated. If you could reply to me as soon as convenient, I would very much appreciate it.

Yours Sincerely,

Voldemort

Dear Tom,

Though it pains me to tell you this, I believe that the DADA post will not be available to you at this time. This is due to your recruitment of

Dear Tom,

You are by no means qualified for a job as a DEFENSE teacher.

Dear Tom,

I wouldn't give you a job teaching students if you were the last


Dear Tom,

I would be happy to interview you the Tuesday after next at eleven o'clock. If this does not fit your schedule, please reply by return owl.

Sincerely,

Professor Dumbledore

Dear Professor,

Unfortunately, I am unable to attend our meeting on this upcoming Tuesday. Is it at all possible to reschedule?

Sincerely,

Voldemort


Dear Tom,

It is most unfortunate that you cannot attend the meeting tomorrow. However, as you seem to have waited to the last minute to inform me of this, I find it impossible to reschedule our meeting for anytime in the next three months, as I am a very busy person. By this time of course, I will undoubtedly have found another teacher. I am afraid I must inform you that you will either have to arrive at eleven o'clock tomorrow, or not arrive at all.

Cordially,

Professor Albus Wulfric Percival Brian Dumbledore,

Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry


Professor,

I will have to move my schedule around, but I will be there tomorrow at eleven.

Dear Aberforth,

Brother, I fear I have a favor to ask of you. I need you to come in and teach just for this year. I'm having trouble getting a teacher who will actually stick around, as our last three teachers were all killed or maimed while on the job. I only need your help for the next year or so, after which time you can go back to whatever it is you've been doing for the last seven years since I last saw you.

Your Brother,

Albus


Albus,

I am currently unable to come to teach at your school. I am very busy, as I am preparing to open up a new bar. Also, I believe that when I last talked to you, I said something about never wanting to deal with you and your superior highbrow ways in this or any other life time.

-Aberforth


Dear brother,

Aberforth, be reasonable. I need help. I can't find anyone else to take the position. Need a remind you that, the only reason you managed to make it through Hogwarts was because of me?

Love,

Albus


Albus,

I don't give a damn that you need my help. And I doubt the ministry would be too happy with you, trying to higher on someone who was nearly expelled twice. I told you to leave me alone.

A


I'll be there on the start of the term. One year only!
