Dear Neville,
Sweden is wonderful. We're camping in a beautiful, green forest. The trees are so tall and friendly, and the grass is so green! It's just so...lovely. We haven't had any sightings of a Crumple Horned Snorcack, but Daddy and I aren't ready to give up!
Ginny has been writing me letters as well, all about Harry, of course. I never really know how to respond to her letters, since I have you. She has also been sending extra supplies of parchment and ink. Which is great, because I only brought a few extras.
We found a really nice river. It's on the smaller side but the water is very blue and cold. it reminds me of our day at the stream. Daddy and I have been using it for water and bathing. We occasionally apparate to a restaurant if we don't want to cook. Which defeats the purpose of proper camping, but I don't mind.
How has your summer been? One week in and already exciting? Or have you been lounging around the house? I miss you so much and I can't wait for our Diagon Alley trip!
Lot's of love,
Luna

Dear Luna,
Hello darling! It's been wonderful to hear from you! Sweden sounds like the place for you! It's too bad about the sightings, don't worry, you'll find one! Poor Ginny, I wish Harry would just open his eyes already and see what's in front of him! I think about that day at the stream a lot, it was fun.
How has my summer been? Well, Gran surprised me and took me to Italy! Can you believe it? It's very sunny there, and I've even picked up on some of the language! We've been to mostly muggle area, but have you ever seen wizarding Italy? I swear, you can feel the magic. So far we've visited Florence, Venice, and Milan. Gran took me to a bunch of museums and the Italians seem like pretty cool people. What really fascinated me was the muggle Renaissance!
I've gotten letters from Dean too. He told me to eat pasta, because there is nothing like "real Italian food". I must say that I agree. I love and miss you!
Can't wait to see you again,
Neville

Dear Neville,
Italy? Make sure to look for the rare species of Girosheia, they're animals that Daddy has been looking for! They like to hide in bushes, so be careful, though they aren't dangerous. I didn't know there was a wizarding Italy, it sounds fantastic! Maybe we can go there together one day? I've heard of the muggle Renaissance, lots of art and learning and wonderful things happened then!
Daddy and my mum went to Italy after they got married, he told me to tell you to try the lasagna there, he says it was so good that he ate it almost everyday! I've heard that there is a lot of plant life in Italy that isn't in England, maybe you can study it and learn more about Herbology?
Life in Sweden is great so far. I've hiked more in one week than I have in my entire life! We've been in a different location every time we move. We will pack up the tent, hike some more, rest and sleep there. We've been following the river for the most part, sometimes venturing off. I love you too!
Miss you,
Luna

Dear Luna,
Exactly twenty-eight days until I will see you again! Can you believe it? Summer is passing in a flash! I've met a bunch of people in Italy. I think I know the language well enough to have a decent conversation! Some guys invited me to go to the skatepark with them, they were muggles. I accepted. I don't think I ever want to see another skateboard in my life. A skateboard is a board with wheels that guys like to ride. It requires a lot of balance, something I don't seem to have. I got very bruised up that day.
I told Gran what your dad said, we went out to dinner last night and ordered lasagna. It was delicious! Your dad was definitely right about eating it everyday!
I've never hiked in my life, so I wouldn't know what to tell you. Make sure to rest your feet! Hermione told me that if I ever have a heavy load and lots to carry, to put an undetectable extension charm on a bag and pack it into there. So, I'm passing on the advice!
Gran already knew Italian when we arrived, so she made a bunch of friends her age. They're out at the moment, doing who knows what. She seems to be a social butterfly, she has a lot of friends in England, and a lot of friends in Italy. Well, I best be going to sleep now. I miss you too!
Un sacco di amore,
Neville

P.S. That means "Lots of love"

Neville-
Thanks for the tip, Daddy charmed my bag and it has helped us a lot! I can't believe we didn't think of it! So far, no sightings! Daddy wants to go next summer too, but I told him it might not be safe.
Aw, poor Neville! I hope all your bruises are healed and all better! I think you should have known that your clumsiness and "skateboarding" wouldn't mix well. How did your gran react when you got back to your hotel?
I want to ask you something while I remembered. Ginny told me a story in my second year about boggarts. When your boggart came out, it was dressed in your Gran's clothes. But she doesn't dress like that anymore, does she? Why?
It's good that you know Italian and have made lots of friends, don't forget about us though! They may be cool, but they didn't fight in the Ministry with you! Haha, we're about to get going on our hiking, so I best finish this letter. I love and miss you so much!

Dear Luna,
Gran was in a right fit when I got back. She was very fussy and forced me to take a bath. It was actually really amusing. I agree with you about your dad's idea, it won't be very safe next year. It isn't very safe this year either, but next year will be worse.
When Gran heard about my boggart she replaced her entire wardrobe, I think she was embarrassed. But anyway, how did Ginny find out about my boggart? I'm going to kill Ron Weasley for tell her!
No one will ever replace you, Luna. Not for Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione either. I love you with all my heart.
See you in twenty days,
Neville

P.S. We're going back to England tomorrow.

A/N Alright! next chapter will be a continuation of letters and the trip to Diagon Alley! As an answer for why the update was so fast, I'm bored and I have no more homework. :) I want to try something new, so from now on, all reviews will be answered here!

loonynerdxd9- Thank you for the compliment! It's a lot of fun writing this, so I'm happy to update :) Thanks for responding to the authors note, I was wondering when someone would! I hope you liked this chapter!

Tallen93- I'm not a big fan of filler chapters, either, so I hope this didn't seem like one! Thanks for responding to the authors note! I'm hoping to get another update in on Saturday or Friday.

GreenField- Hello! Thank you! I hope you didn't feel obliged to say the compliment since we're friends, haha! I can't believe you haven't seen this before either! After all this time, too! Haha, I'll be getting an update in soon, Friday or Saturday, probably :)
