Ginny,
I know we only saw him a couple of weeks ago, when you were home, but you wouldn't believe how much Teddy has grown! I can't believe he's a year old already either. It just seems like yesterday that Remus was at Shell Cottage, telling us all about Teddy and naming me Godfather.
I had dinner at Andromeda's the other day and your mum threw a little birthday tea for Teddy this afternoon. By the end of the day, having been surrounded since lunch time, his hair was as red as any Weasley. It was quite endearing actually, but made me think of, and miss, you.
I relented and bought him that car play set we saw in the Muggle shop. The bike looks so much like Sirius' and I couldn't resist. He loved playing with them this afternoon but much preferred the stuffed dragon Charlie sent over from Romania, but no surprises there!
I've got a couple of photos here for you too. You can show Hermione how he's doing and put them on your wall or whatever you did with those photos you took at Christmas and Easter.
Good grief, another letter has just arrived from that reporter at the Daily Prophet I was telling you about, Barlow? You know the guy who keeps pestering me for an interview to celebrate/commemorate the anniversary. He's practically begging now, but I'm sure he only wants an exclusive for the front page slot or a cash bonus or something. Besides, I've already said everything I care to and I'm not sure I like him enough to do him that sort of favour.
To be perfectly honest, I do have a number of options on what to do on 2nd May and I'm not sure which one to accept. Kingsley said there was going to be a ball at the Ministry. He's hoping it'll become an annual event – maybe we can go together next year? – but I'm not sure it's my kind of thing. Your mum and dad are going to have a family dinner instead, I'm sure you can understand, and I have a couple of other invitations here too. You might have to recommend something, cos otherwise I'll end up pulling one out of a hat!
Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know how Teddy was and give you these pictures. He's looking a lot like Tonks isn't he?
Good luck with your exams, I'm sure you'll be fine! Don't let Hermione's exam revision timetables weird you out too much, you know how she gets.
With all my love, always
Harry
