Dear Harry,
Hi there! I just wanted to make sure those muggles were treating you well, and to let you know that Fred and George have made quite a few new inventions that might tempt your daft cousin (send them an owl if you want their new catalogue). There, I got my sisterly obligations out of the way! Whew!
Anyway, Hermione's been here since the first week of holiday and her and Ron are driving me nutters! You think they fight a lot in school? You should hear them now! Both of them are afraid to write to you-they're not sure if you want to talk or not yet. I told them they were being ridiculus, that even if you didn't want to talk they had things that needed to be said, and that was just as important. That's why being friends is a give-and-take type of relationship. They didn't listen to me-they're still yelling at each other! So, I decided to be a friend and break the ice because I need to talk too. And…here we go….
Sirius was a great man, from what little I knew of him. I do know that he would be seriously cheesed off if we weren't remembering him properly. On that note, I would like to grin thinking of Padfoot…how he loved to run in circles and lick everyone's faces (Eww)! Not to mention how he helped Moony on the full moons when they were kids! I can only imagine the trouble Remus, your Dad and him got into at school…Fred and George even learned a few things from them! I know he'll always be a part of you and he'd be just as upset you're blaming yourself for this (I know you are Harry), as the rest of us are. We are your family Harry…confide in someone. Please.
Next in line are your O.W.L.S. Have you received your results yet? Hermione is going mad waiting for hers. Ron doesn't seem to care in the least. As a matter of fact, it wouldn't surprise me if they were here and he's hiding them on her. In any case, he's too busy practicing Quidditch to think of tests.
That reminds me! Dad said your lifetime ban has been lifted! Did they send you an owl yet? Thank goodness, because I don't think we could pull another Cup out of our hats like we did last year-it'll be good to have the best seeker in centuries back!
Well, mum's calling me down for supper. I'll send this with Pig as soon as I can sneak into Ron's room! Take care Harry, and write back!
With love,
Ginny
The red haired witch put the letter in an envelope, sighed, and went down to dinner, making sure to sit as far away from the bickering "friends" as possible.
