Disclamer: I do not own any of these characters, they are the property of Ms. Rowling.

A/N: Thank you to those who have reviewed:-) Don't worry I will include letters from Sirius and Remus in later chapters, all in good time;-)


Quidditch and Petrifiers
Dear Severus,

This is very touching, so you were actually worried for Weasley and Potter, I am quite amused. And thank you for the quite amusing article, I always do enjoy a good flying car.

And I do remember you yourself mutilating that poor tree in your school-days, we don't want to bring that up again, now do we?

To Severus,

Excuse me, do you think I do not know that Malfoy has bribed you? And what is all this with the Slytherin Quidditch team needing the pitch all the time, one could almost believe you were afraid of loosing.

-Minerva


Dear Severus,

I have heard reports of a most alarming nature; that my son apparently should be the new seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch team. I must admit my concern on this matter. Could you please enlighten me on this subject, as his father apparently knows nothing, but I do fear that Lucius has been involved in some way.

Are you sure it is quite safe to play seeker, he is, as you might be aware, only twelve?

I have the honor to be
Narcissa Malfoy


Dear Severus,

What do you think of this business, It is of cause serious with a petrified cat. But I do fear that the magic, which can petrify a cat can also kill a student, it did last time as you know.

I am sorry for prejudice against any house, but could this be the work of one of your students? One of the prefects perhaps? Do you have any suggestions, because I hardly think it was the one under suspicion last time, that was the perpetrator.

Normally I would be wary of my Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, but I doubt strongly that he would have the wit, even though he most openly admits to know the entrance to the chamber.

Could you come by my office to discuss this.

And please, I doubt Harry has a vendetta against cats.

Speaking of cats, I got the oddest memo from Minerva, it would appear that you have begun accepting bribes?

P.S. I enjoy Raisin Toffee.


To Severus,

How can it be my problem, that you are unable to control your class-room?

I know you might think it serious that someone might or might not have nicked some things from your personal stuck. Yes this might be a lead! But you get nicked things every year from that stock. Don't you ever actual consider locking the door?

However I really doubt this is a help, use your common sense! Furthermore all logic would suggest that the one responsible was from YOUR house, would it be possible for you just for once look into own bosom first?

-Minerva


Dear Friend,

I found this news disturbing. The chamber of secrets, do you say? And a petrified cat? I do recall some similar things happening, some years ago. And here I am quite sure the perpetrator was caught and expelled. Could it be the same person, since this person now actually works at Hogwarts?

This is surely the fault of Dumbledore; to let a person, with a known criminal record, work at a school.

Thank you very much for the invitation to the house match between Slytherin and Gryffindor, I am looking very much forward to the match, with my son playing seeker.

Furthermore Narcissa is in a bit of a fragile state, you should perhaps not mention this chamber business to her.

I have the honor to be
Lucius Malfoy


To Severus,

If an incident like the one a the match today, should accidently occur again, I warn you, I will disqualify your whole team.

-R. Hooch


My dear Severus,

I hereby invite you to join a new dueling club I have founded, and I ask you to become my assistant.

I know that this great honor bestowed on you will be among one of the greatest thing you will ever experience. And that it might frighten you to duel me, who always has been known as one of the best duelers to have lived, as it was me who among other great adventures defeated the Vallagy Vampire. But do not fear, I shall not harm you, I will be as gentle as I can.

No time to be modest of the great honor it will be to actually try dueling with me, I know you cannot wait to get started, but you will have to wait another week. I have already announced this great news to the students, and they are as exited as I know you are.

If anyone should get injured, you know that my abilities in healing is remarkable, and I will be able to heal any injuries that might occur during the dueling.

Love and Hugs

Gilderoy Lockhart,

Professor, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

To Severus,

Good luck on the dueling. And please, I need a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher the rest of the term as well, do not under any circumstances make serious injuries, please!

Best
Albus


To Severus,

How could you willingly make a dueling club with HIM?? If anyone get injured I demand that you immediately send them to me, no self-healing!
