Harry,
Hi mate! It's been a while, maybe a year or more now. I wrote to Ron and Hermione a couple of months ago, have you heard from them? They seem pretty good, Hermione plans on going back to Hogwarts to retake seventh year! Mental that is, but I guess you would know that, I mean you are the trio and all.
I heard you are getting a job in the auror department, well done mate. I always saw you as an auror, you were always doing stuff to help people. I always thought you must be numb to fear – you never really seemed to feel it, you were just so brave all the time – I wanted to be like that, brave – I wanted to be like my parents, but I never was; that was until fifth year. In fifth year I felt brave and that was because I felt a part of something, I felt a part of the bigger picture. I was Dumbledore's army like my parents were the order of the phoenix, I felt like I could finally be their son and that, where ever their minds are, they might actually be proud of me.
The day after the war at Hogwarts was over, all wizards in England were celebrating and it was thanks to you, you are the sole reason for everyone's survival, well not quite everyone. You know I really miss them, all of them. Colin Creevey was 16 when he died – he died in battle, what a true Gryffindor would have wanted, and of course the same goes to Fred.
While everyone was celebrating Voldemort's defeat, I was with Luna. Luna asked me to come home with her and fix her house. Luna's father had died in Azkaban. We walked through the remains of her house, when we came to her room it was half blown apart, everything was gone a part from the ceiling. Did you know what was on the ceiling Harry? It was a painting of you, Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Luna and myself – linked together.
Luna said that out of the whole house, this was one of the only things that stayed intact and she thought that was because of our friendship or maybe she thought it was because of the nargles? But anyway that isn't my point. Where were you Harry after the war? You disappeared for a while there. Luna needed you and Ginny, I wasn't enough.
I think I did love Luna but I wasn't crazy and extravagant like she was, so I let her go. I haven't heard from her since. I guess the friendships we make don't always stay intact.
I'm with Hannah now, Hannah Abbott, you remember her right? Gran loves her, always inviting her over for tea. You know, Gran's proud of me now – she calls me my father's son, and to be honest Harry I'm happy, very truly happy and I hope you are to.
Professor Sprout has resigned! Did you hear? Said something to me about wanting to travel the world, she said that she wanted me to replace her, so she asked McGonagall and I replaced her effective immediately. Exciting right? I get to do what I love; it was always my best subject you know? Never was very good at potions but I have Hermione to thank; I wouldn't have passed without her encouragement.
Are you and Ginny still together? Haven't spoken to her in a while either – I think everyone went out after the war to find their piece of mind and to grieve; I really must write to her, how is she going? I was rooting for her to end up with you. Dean's great but Harry she always loved you best.
If you ever wanted to catch up, write me, I'll be at Hogwarts or the leaky caldron (Hannah now works there)
It would be nice to hear from you,
Give my best to Ginny,
Neville.
