Third series of notes: June 86 - Aug 88
June 4th, 1986
Buahahaha! What kind of performance was that??? Your seeker is barely able to stick to a broom.
Severus.
**June 4th, 1986
Dear Severus,
I thought we had agreed on not to write
any more notes? How dare you speak of my HIGHLY
talented seeker in such an impertinent and
unprofessional manner? But I must agree, he
looks like an apple on a dead twig.
Congratulations on the Quidditch cup - for the
first time in YEARS.
Minerva.
**June 4th, 1986
Thank you. And sorry about the note. Will try and stick to our agreement from now on.
Severus.
August 10th, 1988
Dear Severus,
Sorry to break our agreement of not writing to
each other, but something miraculous has
happened and I just have to share it since
no one seems to be available this summer apart
from Albus, who knows already: Neville has shown
first signs of magic. You know whom I am talking
about, don't you? Neville Longbottom has finally
proven that he is not a squib. Can anthing make
these holidays any better? I think not.
By the way, I heard Amos's son is about to join
us. There is a good chance that he will be in
Gryffindor, meaning that you have won the
Quidditch Cup for the last time this year,
my friend.
Minerva.
**August 12th, 1988
Dear Minerva,
Am enjoying my holidays in Germany, hunting
vampire slayers. It is a lot of fun, but I am
glad to come home in a few days time. Has Albus
mentioned anything about the Philosopher's
Stone to you, by the way? They seem to intend
to move it to Gringott's. The most ridiculous
idea I have heard in years. What place could
be safer than Hogwarts?
Oh, and don't expect too much of young Diggory.
I hear he possesses a lot of Gryffindor
qualities, but he is also a horrible coward.
And I might just mention that his father was in
Slytherin.
Happy holidays,
Severus.
August 15th, 1988
Dear Severus,
Albus has not been talking to me, but I am going to meet him in The Hog's Head next Saturday. Care to join us?
Minerva.
**August 17th, 1988
Dear Minerva,
I would love to, but I do not think I will return before the end of the month. And in any case, I avoid The Hog's Head when I can. Aberforth makes me nervous.
Severus.
**August 20th, 1988
Dear Severus,
Have been talking to Albus. It was quite an
enjoyable evening, actually. Aberforth is not
too bad, once you get used to his goat hanging
around - literally.
Hope to see you back any day now. Can't belive
another school year lies before us. My holidays,
at the very least, have been far too short and
packed with work once more.
See you soon, I suppose.
Love,
Minerva.
