Dear Siri,
The news only just got here, I'm so happy! I cannot wait to see you again, even if it will be to discuss sad matters. How is Harry? Have you been a good godfather? I can't imagine you being one; you've been the irresponsible one since you were so little. You should have heard mum complaining when you got that letter from Albus in your first year. I've missed you, especially since… well I'm sure they told you. I'm so glad it wasn't you though, I knew it couldn't be, you were the best friend James could have asked for, and I hope you don't blame yourself at all. See you soon!
Love
Arabella

Dear Bella,
I've missed you too; there is so much I need to tell you, and so much that you never even noticed! I'll tell you once your here, you have to meet Harry! You'll love him, so like Lily, but with James's courage. Miss you.
Love
Siri

Moony,
Guess who I just received a letter from… Bella! I cannot believe I haven't spoken to her since I got out; I'm such a bad brother. I'm sure YOU haven't forgotten her, eh?
I'm so excited!

Albus said I should inform you that there will be a meeting next week. Please try to be prompt for once; I'm sure it won't harm you.

Hermione needs to do some research for owls in the restricted section, could we have permission from you. I would come and ask you but I have to try and practice quidditch, and we know you want us to do well in that. Please?
Harry

Harry,
I'd like to know what Hermione is researching, but as I am busy that can wait until afterwards. I'm trusting you two Harry.
Sirius
I Professor Black give permission for Hermione Granger to research in the restricted section for work on her O.W.Ls

Padfoot,
You little… why when I see you next! You just had to bring that up didn't you? I'm pleased, for you.

Dear Sirius,
Could I have a word before the meeting? It is about Harry.
Yours sincerely

Dearest Sirius
Wouldn't it be a pity if your sister were to have an accident? It isn't unheard of for problems to arise when travelling from America

Albus,
I have just received a worrying letter, maybe this meeting between us could happen earlier?

Lucius Malfoy has revealed that they have a spy in Hogwarts. I have informed Albus of this, and he suggested we meet tomorrow in the lowest dungeon.

Dear Sirius,
The 6th years are starting studies on Animagi in Transfiguration, could you possibly come to the lesson? I think they are tired of seeing my cat form.
Thanks,
Minerva

Snape,
I'll be there; I wish you'd stop writing letters like some night creature.

Dear Minerva,
I will be there, though I have some business to attend to so I'll have to rush off afterwards.

Dear Sirius,
I'm afraid what we thought might happen has happened. Harry will have to do some work with Severus, please make sure he does, you know how important this is. Harry should also be told that were anything to happen to you and the Dursleys, Severus would be his guardian, he needs to know. Please would you and Severus try to get on, I noticed quite a few owls flying up and down yesterday, and it didn't look like fan mail. He needs your support Sirius. Arabella sent me a note; she should be here by Halloween.
Albus
14th October
Dear Albus,
I see. I'll owl Snape then.
Sirius
14th October
Snape,
Albus has told me that what we feared has happened. You'll need to talk to Harry, and help him. He needs to know things, should anything happen to me, you know you'll be his guardian. If you need any help talking to him, you just have to ask. Arabella will be here on Halloween, because I shall be out on patrol, please could you make her feel welcome, I know you two used to get on well.
