Straight into it then! Oh, and you'll recognize some notes from the book itself, not from me.

ONE MORE THING! Lol, sorry.  Just wanted to thank the reviewer who pointed out that unless Hagrid had something like a Dicta-Quill, he wouldn't be writing in his dialect.  Well spotted, so I fixed it! Cheers!

Dear Hagrid,

        Are you quite all right? We noticed you were acting a little odd in the library earlier and we were just wondering if everything's ok.

-Hermione

Great win Harry, really superb flying! –Wood

It's hatching.

Dear Journal-Type-Thing-That-I-Have-To-Keep-Because-Mum-Worries-Too-Much-About-My-Mental-Health,

        This is stupid, but as Father won't take anymore of my letters, I'm not sure where to write what's been going on.  Of course I'll burn this later.  But anyway, I was eating breakfast yesterday and I heard Weasel and his Mudblood girlfriend talking about the gamekeeper, talking about dragons hatching and…all right, this bloody thing is stupid I'm burning it.

-DM

You're a dead man Malfoy!

Tsk tsk.  Didn't your dump of a mother teach you any manners? A) don't threaten the people you're writing to and B) You don't even have the decency to sign your name?

-Draco Malfoy I

I swear Malfoy, if you breathe one word about Hagrid's you-know-what I'll hex you senseless!  And what is with people asking me to sign letters?!? They know who it's from!

-Ronald Thomas Weasley the One and Only

Dear Charlie,

        Remember the gamekeeper from Hogwarts, Hagrid?  He needs your help actually now.  See, he's got a Norwegian Ridgeback but he can't really keep it because a git faced freak (I think you are familiar with the Malfoys) saw it and might rat on him at any second.  Plus, he has a wooden hut for a home.  So if you could send a letter back ASAP that'd be good.

Cheers! –Ron

Weasel-

        I doubt you can hex me senseless.

-Malfoy

Dear Ron,

        How are you?  Thanks for your letter- I'd be glad to take the Norwegian Ridgeback, but it won't be easy getting him here.  I think the best thing will be to send him over with some friends of mine who are coming to visit me next week.  Trouble is, they mustn't be seen carrying an illegal dragon.

        Could you get the Ridgeback up the tallest tower at midnight on Saturday?  They can meet you there and take him away while it's still dark. 

        Send me an answer as soon as possible.

Love, Charlie

Charlie-

        Sounds like a plan! You sound almost as fussy as Hermione…well except for the whole tallest tower bit.  We'll do our best.

-Ron

Weasley-

        What goes around comes around.  Nice seeing you today at the Hospital Wing (and please note the sarcasm).  If I don't decide to flush your book down the loo, you'll get it back in Potions.

-Malfoy

Harry, Ron and Hermione-

        Thank you so much for your help with Norbert.  I've got him all packed up and padded into his crate so he's ready to go.  Come down a little before midnight.

Hagrid

Hermione,

        Is this some kind of joke?  Rumour has it that you and Harry Potter snuck up to the Astronomy Tower and got caught…we have all these points lost, was that you??  Oh, and everyone's wondering what you guys were doing up there…all alone…at midnight…you can tell me you know, I promise I won't tell anybody.

-Parvati

Potter-

        I have to say, my punishment's worth it to see your precious friends turning against you. Well done then.

-Malfoy

Nothing "happened", the very idea is ridiculous.  And we got locked out of the Common Room. 

-Hermione Granger

You will sorely regret crossing my path Quirrell.

-Snape

Your detention will take place at eleven o'clock tonight.  Meet Mr. Filch in the Entrance Hall.

Prof. M. McGonagall

Neville-

        I can swear to you that Harry and Hermione didn't mean to get you into any sort of trouble.  I'm really sorry you have detention tonight too.

-Ron Weasley

You're still taking tonight's detentions I presume?

-M. McGonagall

Yeah, I reckon I can still do it.

-R. Hagrid

Albus-

        It is in my humble opinion that we should still have the old methods of detention in practice today- the thumbscrews were so effective!  I never had a student in detention for bad behavior twice after those.

-Argus Filch

Dear Argus,

        As effective as the old methods may have been, the Ministry and I both agree that it is an outdated practice.  I apologize for the inconvenience.

-Albus Dumbledore

Just in case.

Potter-

        What are you playing at, making it so that that-that thing would attack me?!? I'm warning you Potter, any more dodgy business and my Father will skin you alive!

-Malfoy

Dearest Oliver,

        What light through yonder window breaks?  It is the East, and Oliver is the Sun!  We have worshipped you from afar, oh great one, and we cannot wait any longer to express our great feelings towards you.  You are a beautiful creature, unworthy of our praise! We love you, from the deepest pits of our souls.

Love, love, love, love, love,

Frieda and Georgia

Fred & George-

Oh, are you two going to pay next Quidditch practice for that letter!

-Wood

It was worth it Olly!

-"Frieda and Georgia"

Severus-

        Too late.

Albus-

        We need you over in London immediately.  An emergency situation as come up. 

-Fudge

I will be over as soon as I can.

-Albus Dumbledore

Why are you coming again?

-Cornelius Fudge-

--

Potter-

WE WON!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE…WE WON!!! OH I COULD KISS YOU- but I'm straight. Sorry.

-Wood

Damn you Potter.

-DM

Who knew you had it in you? Brill Neville!

-Fred and George Weasley

Draco-

        So Gryffindor won.  I, frankly, am not pleased with you.  Slytherins should be more up to scratch than scrawny rats like you.  Oh well.  See you when the train gets here.

-Lucius Malfoy

Ron!!!

        I know the train is arriving today, but I had to write- you're coming home!!! At last!!! Now I'll have someone to talk to…you WILL talk to me, right?  Right.  And next year I'll be at Hogwarts.  Don't take this literally-Hogwarts seems like the most magical place in the world.

Love, Ginny

xoxo
