Dear Harry,
Don't worry, I rarely talk to Myrtle anyway and when I do it isn't about you. It's generally about whether or not so-and-so who we think is depressed has been hiding in her bathroom to cry on a regular basis.
Dandelion, the little devil. Severus has taken to reading your letters over my shoulder, and he tells me that your assessment of the pony is quite accurate. He would like me to warn you against having anything in your back pockets while in the stables and reassure you that Draco is just messing with you and would never put a beginner on Dandy. If he's still around you'll get to learn on Raven, who by this point is quite possibly too arthritic to buck you off, not to mention too sweet-tempered in the first place. And yes, Frosty is a sweetheart, but he's also far too much horse for you, as are Dandy, Dalton and Leah.
Be frank with me, Harry. There's chemistry between you and Draco. Between your letters to me and his to Severus, it's quite obvious. Stop denying it because he definitely returns your feelings.
Work is uneventful. I'm quite settled in and have time to read. If you have time, Justifiable Risk is a wonderful book and you might find it pertinent to your training.
Love,
Hermione

Dear Ron,
If you put some genuine thought into it, you could answer your own questions.
Love,
Hermione
Whoops, long delay. In my defense, I've been sick for weeks on end. Whatever happened to those schoolboy days when being sick meant a break from doing work, not just catching up on paperwork from home?
