Thoughts
"Things that are said"
'Things said in parseltongue'
It started like any other summer at the Dursley's. Harry got little food, little water, tons of chores around the house, and the rest of his time locked in his room. The chores he did gratefully, it helped to keep his mind off of what happened last year at Hogwarts. It was the time in his room he dreaded.
Sirius Harry thought as he tried to prevent tears from shedding.
Last year he had a vision of his godfather imprisoned in the Department of Mysteries and going there to rescue him instead turned out to be a trap which got his godfather killed in the process. Harry was still lost in his pain when he heard tapping on the window. He looked up to see an owl with a envelope at the window. He got up from his bed and let the owl in to his room. After untying the letter and getting some water from hedwig's water bowl, the owl left. Looking at the envelope for identification he recognized Remus's writing on it. Wondering what he would want he opened it up to find a letter and another, smaller envelope inside. Ignoring the envelope for the moment, Harry began to read the letter from Remus.
Dear Harry,
I want to start of this letter saying that nobody blames you for godfather getting killed, and I am quite proud at your dueling skills you showed at the Department of Mysteries that day. Inside this envelope is a envelope that Sirius gave me if anything was ever to happen to him to give to you. I have no idea what it says so you will have to find out for yourself. Hope the Dursley's are treating you well and if you need anything, just owl me
Your Friend,
Remus Lupin
Harry grew anxious hearing that his godfather left him a note to read and quickly opened up the other envelope to begin reading what Sirius had to say.
Dear Harry,
Hi Cub! If your getting this letter it means I was to reckless for my own good and did something stupid. Whatever I did, knowing you your probably blaming yourself so I'll tell you now, whatever I did is my own fault since I'm the one who did it so stop blaming yourself. There is a few things that I want you to do for me now that I'm gone. I want you first to become an animagus, I was going to teach you when I had the chance but since I have kicked the bucket I guess I won't be able to so you will have to do it by yourself. You will probably have to mail Moony for some books and advice on how to do it so I wish you luck! Secondly, I know that you love the old man, but I need you to not be so trusting of Dumbledore, I still am upset that he didn't help me from being put in Azkaban but more importantly, he sent you to the Dursley's which I know from your mother hates magic. I know why he put you with them but I still want you to be cautious, constant vigilance as mad-eye would say. Thirdly, I want you to have fun pranking all the students at Hogwarts for me. I know we did not have a lot of time together but it was fun while it lasted.
Your Godfather and loving friend,
Sirius Black (Padfoot) (Snuffles)
Harry read the letter from Sirius again with tears in his eyes. He was glad that Sirius did not blame him for his death and it helped to ease the pain tremendously. He was a little skeptical about Sirius not liking Dumbledore but he would think about that later. He decided to write back to Remus for his advice on becoming an animagus and sent it off with Hedwig. He went to bed that night and had the first sleep without nightmares for weeks.
