LETTER SEVEN

Ms. Hermione Granger
Gryffindor Tower
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Wow Herm,

You really know how to shock somebody don't you? I am so relieved to hear that you are okay (health wise) but I am upset to hear the trauma in your life at the moment. I hope I can be your shoulder to lean on.

I can't believe all the bad luck you seem to be going through right now but I know things will get better for you! Just try and stay positive even if it seems impossible!

By the way, you could never bore the brains out of me with your letters. I really, really like getting them. Infact I have kept them all and they are in my locker at Puddlemere. I hope you don't mind that I showed the first one to Darren because he interrupted me when I was replying and asked who the long letter was to. Thought I was cheating on Anita haha.

Anita and I have had a little tiff. Actually a very big tiff. I'm not sure what's going on- I still really like her but she just isn't interested in Quidditch and it makes life difficult when she doesn't understand the pressure I'm under.

I want everything to be back to normal but I don't know if it ever will be. She's calling the shots on this one so when she has decided she can tell me. But none of my problems are nearly as big as yours and I cannot comprehend what you're going through. My Grandpa died last year and although I wasn't very close to him it was still hard so I can't believe what you're going through. With your parents, I am very sorry. Maybe their decision is really the best for you. At least they won't fight anymore. You will get to see both of them still won't you? Please fill me in!

Enclosed with this letter is a photo of me. It's one from the photo shoot. I hope it brings a smile to your face. That's Darren in the background, waving like a mad man. Have you got any photos you can send me? I'd like to see you. I'd also like to arrange a meeting with you but I can't right now. My Puddlemere schedule is really hectic and I can't take the time off work. I will though. Just to be able to say hi!

My thoughts are with you, Herm!

Yours Truly,
Oliver
