Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter
A/N: I find this extremely funny: I help out with the CCD kindergarten class, and everytime the teacher talks about God, this one girl, Erin, says "Is there as wizard?" Get it Harry Potter-Wizard? ((I amNOT CORNY!))

My 18th Birthday
Dear Fred and George,
Included in this letter is a copy of the Marauders' map. With some additions to include Hogsmeade.
You do not know how big a role you have played in this war. You kept me alive when I thought nothing could. How? Because you could always make me laugh. You could always make me feel better.
I am very sorry for the loss of your father and your brothers, but I understand that no sympathy will stop the pain. I know what you are going through. I lost Sirius, the only father I ever knew, Tonks, the only sister I ever met, and Charlie and Percy, two of my true brothers.
I wish you must success in your joke shop. I know that this is what is keeping you alive. I know that nothing brings you more joy than seeing future Marauders buy things from your shop.
As the only heir to the Marauder Legacy, I rightfully induct you into the Marauder Brotherhood. Of course, I had to ask Remus first, but he agreed.
Fred, George, I want to ask you to be in mine and Hermione's wedding. I would like for you to be groomsmen. I hope you accept an invite to the wedding between the "bookwormish no-it-all" and the "Heir of Slytherin." I promise that your pranks will make the front page of the Prophet if you play them in the "biggest wedding this century," as the Prophet is calling it.
Love,
Harry
