Our Dearest Son,
I hope you know we love you, and we will always be with you, there is an empty envelope, before we were killed we put all of our work into this envelope, how it works is you, Harry, write a letter, you then put it in the envelope, you say 'Send' and the letter is sent to us in the spirit world. The only reason why we kept this from you was that we did not want to confuse you or make anything any more difficult than it has to be. We decided that you must be given everything once you were 17, and I'm guessing you got this exactly on your seventeenth birthday. The same way you send letters to us we can send them to you, the envelope will glow a gentle red colour when there is a letter in it, we put a special glass case for it in the Master Bedroom that I'm guessing you are standing in right now. It's just above the fireplace. Yes there is a fireplace, it is just across from the bed, you can access it by twisting the bottom left post on the bed. The rings and the watch belonged to your father, James, he felt that you should have them and so he put them in this envelope, we had the necklace made for you just after you were born, there are three other letters, there is one that you can open now and there are two others, there is one for when you get married and one for when you have your first child. However I am going to leave you, you probably want to look at the rest of the things you inherited, by the way, the Safe contains a few family items that you might be interested in.
Love you always,
Lily and James.
Harry stared at it incredulously. He the picked up the envelope, he went over to the bed and twisted the bottom left post, the fireplace appeared and sure enough, so did the glass case. He decided he would write to his parents later so he put the letter in the glass case. He went back to the desk and looked at the first letter Dumbledore had given him.
Dear Harry,
If you are receiving this letter than I was right in my speculations, I am dead. I am sorry to tell you that I did know I was going to die, however, I had do die in order to transfer to you my knowledge and power, if today is your seventeenth birthday, than this is when it will take effect, I transferred it to you during the supposed stunning charm I put on you, I did not know what would happen but I noticed that you were stunned, as you know I can see through invisibility cloaks, and now, I suppose you can as well. I wish for you not to be upset, I am currently working on a project, that is before I died, yes I agree this is a little odd, however I will not tell you what it is, so you won't be disappointed if I wasn't able to finish it, however, if there is more than one box with you today, you can be sure that it did. I will leave you to open my first letter and heirloom to you.
Yours Always,
Albus Dumbledore.
Harry looked at the first box and opened it, he was looking at a pensieve, he smiled and opened the letter.
Dear Harry,
So here I am, talking to you again and it is on great terms this time I assure you. I finished my research and created what is called a Meligna, a communication device between the world of the living and the dead. I know it seems a bit odd, but I have made it and I am sure it works, you are the only one who can use it, when you touch it, it will transfer you and I to a middle world, a bit crazy I know, but it allows me to speak with you, to learn with you, and to help you defeat Voldemort in whatever way I can. There is a small black tube in the box that the pensieve came out of, I am also giving you my pensieve to use whenever you may need it. I will leave you to open the tube and I am sure that you will want to use the Meligna as soon as you open it.
Yours Always,
Albus Dumbledore.
Harry opened the black tube and pulled out a piece of parchment with a red ribbon tied around it. He opened it and smiled at the Hogwarts emblem on the top, but his smile soon dissipated as he continued to read the letter,
Dear Mr. Potter,
It is my duty to inform you of your appointment into the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts, if you should choose to accept this position you will need to take your NEWTs as soon as possible to ensure you are capable.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Rufus Scrimgeour.
Harry stood there, mouth open, wide eyed when another house elf popped out of nowhere, Harry jumped. "Sorry Sir, but I am Rimy and I am here to tell you that Dinner is ready."
"Thank you Rimy, I'll, I'll be right down." He stuttered. He couldn't believe it, he opened the second box and touched the Meligna.
