Disclaimer: plot isn't mine, and the anonymous letter from Dumbledore isn't either.

Dear Mum,

        I was wondering if you had any idea who Nicolas Flamel is.  I know it's a silly question, but I'm desperate for a school project. 

Love, Hermione

Dear Ron,

        Hey little brother! Sorry this is so late but owls take a bloody long time to get out to Romania.  If Harry's got some sort of duel thing I say throw the wand away and sock the bugger on the nose.  It's the best solution if I ever heard one!

Love, Charlie

Dear Hermione,

        What a funny name, Nicolas Flamel.  Is he a doctor or something? Sorry dearest, but I've never heard of him before in my life.

Love, Mum

Your father left this in my possession when he died. Use it well.

Severus:

        I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about.  I apologize for the delay, but I was grading papers from the summer.

-Quirrell

Happy Christmas Boys!

        Your father and I miss you all so much! We hope you're doing all right in school, that you're behaving and that you're having a lovely time.  Enclosed are your presents; I expect you to wear those jumpers!

Lots of love,

Mum and Dad

Dear Mum,

        Thank you for the lovely jumper and fudge.  We have to say though, your letter confused us.  Is it really possible to do well in school, behave and have a good time, all at once?

-Fred and George

Draco-

        Here are your presents.  Your mum took a long time in shopping for those (I should know, I was with her the entire time) so don't be ungrateful. 

        About the Potter boy- you're obsessing.  Please stop.  I'm not saying be nice to him, Lord knows we don't need that, but please don't write home about him.

-Lucius Malfoy

Harry-

        I made yeh this flute. Happy Christmas!

-Hagrid

Mum-

        I hate maroon, but thank you anyway.  The fudge was really top notch too, and Harry says to write that he very much enjoyed his as well, and is wearing his Weasley jumper.  Why didn't I get a picture on the front eh?

-Ron

Dear boys,

        Of course it's possible to do all three things at once! Don't be silly Fred, George.  And maroon looks lovely on you Ron, so stop moaning.  There are plenty of little wizards all over the world without warm jumpers to wear.  I'm sure they wouldn't care if it were maroon. 

Love, Mum

Merry Christmas Ron!

        I'm so bored here at home.  There was an upside though, Mum and Dad gave me LOADS of presents since you guys aren't home anymore.  I got a new Celestina Warbeck record, some clothes (NOT hand-me-downs) and lots and lots of chocolate.  So Christmas isn't so bad on my own.  But I didn't have anyone to share my eggnog with like I usually do, so I actually had to drink an entire pint of Dad's eggnog.  That Muggle thing he's got that makes them really doesn't work, they're disgusting, but Mum and I pretended to like it for his sake.  Say Happy Christmas to Harry for me.

Love, Ginny

Dear Ginny,

        You sound very bored.  Well, next year you'll be here at Hogwarts, so not to worry.  Harry says Happy Christmas back to you…and he's got black hair and green eyes.  Honestly Gin you're obsessed!

Love, Ron

P.S. Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas Percy.  I loved your present.

Penny don't write it, if this is intercepted I'll get my badge revoked!

Oh Percy don't be stupid, of course they won't revoke your badge.  But I should very much like another present soon…

Minerva-

        I found Harry Potter gazing into the Mirror of Erised.  It was very interesting to see him there, I was quite surprised he found it, but there you have it; the mischievous intentions of a boy turned into obsession.  I headed him off last night however, and he won't be going back anytime soon.  Happy Christmas.

-Albus

Wood-

        You. Are. Insane.  Let. Us. Go. To. Bed. At. A. Godly. Hour!

Fred and George:

        WE MUST WIN!

Sincerely, Wood

Madam Hooch-

        I request permission to referee this next coming Quidditch match between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor.

-Severus Snape

Severus-

        No skin off my back, but you're going to be the most hated teacher in Hogwarts!

-Fenella Hooch

Fenella-

        With all due respect, I already am.

-Severus

 Longbottom-

        So you got Granger to take the Leg-Locker curse off of you?  How clever of you!  Really, deepest thanks for letting me use you as a crash test, I think I've perfected it don't you?

-Malfoy

Dear Mum,

        No worries, I've found out who Nicolas Flamel is (it's fascinating), but thank you very much indeed for trying.

Love, Hermione

Malfoy-

        Keep your nose out of Neville's business or I'll punch it through your face.

-Ron Weasley

Weasley-I mean RON Weasley-

        Good thing you included your name, or I'd have thought you were one of your brothers.  You must be SO sick of that by now, people thinking you're the better one when you're just Potter's sidekick.

-Malfoy

Malfoy-

        You don't need to put your first name down for anyone to know you're scum.

-You Know Which Weasley

Dear Messers R. Weasley and D. Malfoy-

        I couldn't quite get over to you during the Quidditch match, but you have both lost ten points for your houses due to fighting.

-Minerva McGonagall

Malfoy-

        So sorry about that black eye- too bad it'll clash with your bleached hair.

-R. Weasley

Weasley-

        Just watch your back.

-Malfoy

Quirrell-

        Don't think I won't be watching your every move; if you've got it in for the boy you answer to me.

-Snape

Authoress' Note: Thank you so much for the great response! This is fun for me, and I think the next installment will cover the end of book one.  Thanks again! Next weekend I'll have it up.
