Letter from Luna

Dear Harry,

I know that this letter will come as a surprise but I wanted to write it. You are probable feeling really un-happy right now. I know that he meant a lot to you.

But don't feel sad, you do remember what I said about the veil. They are all there, just waiting to come out.

I remember how sad I felt when my mother died. I loved my mother; she was brilliant – just how you must have loved Sirius. He was your family.

I still remember when she died although I try not to think about it because it makes me feel sad.

Please don't think that what happened was your fault because it isn't and there is no way that it could have been. You did not mean for him to die and you didn't know that he wasn't in the Department of Mysteries.

You are such a nice person and so many sad things have happened to you, they shouldn't have.

Anyway I just wrote this to try and make you feel happier and to send you a birthday present at the same time. My owl does not like flying to much.

Anyway I have to go now. Daddy and I are about to go and interview someone who actually saw a greater trunked snore winkle. Can you believe it?

Daddy is teaching me the family business.

I will probably see you when term starts.

Love from Luna

Harry put the letter down. He took a deep breath and then wiped his eyes.

Thinking about Sirius still hurt, he still blamed himself for his godfather's death.

Pushing the thought of Sirius from his mind he began to open the other letters and parcels that he had received for his sixteenth birthday. He felt so alone but there was something inside him that knew that he was not.
