A/N: To the reviewer that asked about the different dates. Harry is writing these letter two years later, when he is 18. Hope that clears things up

My 18th Birthday
Dear Minerva,
I thank you very much for the key. Although Godric Hollow was a mess when I got there, Hermione and I are very comfortable.
Minerva, I understand that you must be strict. But I also see your compassionate, caring side. I view you as the grandmother I never had, and I hope you love me in the same way.
Minerva, I understand that you grieve for Dumbledore. I understand that he was your father in so many ways. But you do understand that I miss him too…don't you?
Dumbledore was the grandfather I never had. And his death devastated me. But it also kept me alive. How? Because Voldemort killing him angered me so much that I was able to use the Unforgivable curse.
Minerva, please stay strong. I want you teaching my kids one day. I hope to hear from you soon.
Love,
Harry
