CHAPTER 7

Dear Harry

Your mother and me are hoping Sirius did his duty and gave you the key

to this vault if we couldn't. If you're reading this letter, it means he has.

This room is where your mother, all our friends and myself spent a lot of

out free time. You might be wondering why we have a room in a vault in

Gringotts. If you are wondering that mean I can't tell you yet. Don't

worry though, you will know soon enough. Consider this room a birthday

present, I'm sure you will use it well. It has many secrets and treasures.

It feels extremely strange writing you this letter when I can see your

mother rocking you in your cradle from the corner of my eye. The way

things are now I might never get to tell you about this room to your face.

There is one particular part of this room that I pride myself on, it also

happens to be its biggest secret. Sirius, Remus, Arabella, Lily and myself

are the only people in the world who know about it. I trust you

inherited my inquisition and are hoping you want to know this secret as

well. I'll give you one clue to help you discover this secret.

I leave you with this knowledge and more love than you could ever know from your mother and I.

Your loving parents

James and Lily
