Correspondence
Dear Hermione/Ron, whomever this particular letter reaches,
It looks like my aunt is really going through with the divorce. Can't say I'm not happy with that, though I can say that for my cousin. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth, if you get the reference. I think it's all an act though, because he's getting more stuff than ever now. Petunia still likes him even if she suddenly hates Vernon.
I can't believe I held so much sway over her that she actually asked him if he would still love her if she were a witch! Who'd have thought she'd actually take me up on my suggestion? But, then, she's been strange since last summer when she wouldn't let Vernon throw me out of the house.
Hope you and yours and doing well. I might be coming You-Know-Where soon enough, probably when the divorce is final.
With Love,
Harry
PS Have you gotten your OWLs yet? I haven't.
Dear Harry,
I and mine are doing well, thank you, and no, I haven't gotten my OWLs yet.
I can tell you are very glad for this divorce. Though I disapprove of the breaking up of a marriage, I am really happy for you. Your uncle has never been—shall we say—pleasant towards you or us, whereas your aunt has always seemed just a tad more nice. I can tell you, when we were leaving the train station this summer, she stared at me, and it looked a little wistful. Almost like she thought I was your girlfriend and she was upset that she hadn't known before that I was.
Well, anyway, are you sure you're going to You-Know-Where? Wouldn't it feel much better if you were to go to The-Other-Place?
I can't wait to see you again; wherever you're going, I am, too. I told that to my parents already and they said it's all right, as long as I come home for the first two weeks of August and they can see me off on the train.
Keep me posted on the progress of the divorce. And—to sound like my old self—tell Dumbledore; you never know what's important!
Love from,
Hermione
Dear Hermione,
You got all that from a look?
From,
Harry
Dear Prof. Dumbledore
My aunt and uncle are getting a divorce. Hermione seems to think that the divorce might affect something important. Will it diminish the wards or something like that?
Hope you're well. Can't wait to be back at Hogwarts.
Sincerely,
Harry
Dear Harry,
I am well, thank you very much, and I'm glad you can't wait to come back to our humble little school.
As for the wards, they are placed around your neighborhood, but the control of them lies in both you and your aunt. Remember, so long as you can call your aunt's dwelling your home, you are protected. So, if your aunt retains ownership of the house, the wards won't be affected.
However, if she loses ownership of the house, we must think of another safe place to relocate both of you. Yes, she must go, too, and I'd prefer it if she stayed with you. As Voldemort rises in power, it is imperative that you remain protected until your magical training is over.
Aside from that, I hope you are well, too, and I look forward to seeing you. Please keep me posted on anything that happens.
Sincerely,
Prof. A. Dumbledore
Dear Prof. Dumbledore/Hermione/Ron, whomever this particular letter reaches,
My aunt lost the house. She didn't have her name on the mortgage papers and I guess there isn't any Squatter's Rights in England, so she got booted out. We're going to move out by the 20th.
The custody battle is finally over, too, and predictably, Vernon did not fight for me. The battle for Dudley lasted a week, though. But since Petunia got me, Vernon got Dudley and she's got visitation rights, so we don't have to worry about hauling around my cousin.
So, where am I going from here? You-Know-Where or The-Other-Place?
With love,
Harry
Dear Harry,
PLEASE come to The-Other-Place. The Matriarch nearly went mad when I told her you might be going You-Know-Where. She thinks of you as a son, you know, and she doesn't like you being where we aren't. If you have to go You-Know-Where we're going, too. I think we both like The-Other-Place better than You-Know-Where.
I think the OWL's are coming any day now. Good luck, mate!
Hopefully to see you soon,
Ron
Dear Ronald Rupert Weasley,
There is a great secret of mine that I hope you will enjoy even more than I enjoyed my trip to Sweden! I cannot tell you more here, but wait for it!

Dear Petunia,
In regards to Harry's safety, it is imperative that both you and he relocate to a designated place. I cannot tell you any specifics here, but a select guard of wizards will fill you in. They will arrive on the 20th, the day you are designated to move from your house.
We at this designated place look forward to seeing Harry again, and we hope you shall like your new residence. After Harry leaves for Hogwarts you may find a new home, even though you are welcome to stay here. For now, though, you must stay where we put you.
With highest regards,
Prof. A. Dumbledore
Dear Ron/Hermione, whomever this particular letter reaches,
It looks like I'm going You-Know-Where.
Love,
Harry
Dear Harry,
Meet you there.
Love,
Ron/Hermione
All of Luna's midle names have to do with the moon. Harry's middle intial stands for "Daniel", Hermione's stands for "Emma", and Ron's stands for "Rupert". I like those middle names better than the real ones.
