HARRY
Harry…Harry…Harry…what is there to say, I could line one thousand apologies up in this space and none of them would ever come close to easing your pain. I am sorry for dying on you Harry, you must believe that I did not mean to…and furthermore it is NOT your fault. I am sorry for being the latest one to leave you feeling all-alone in this world against the evils rallied against you. But I swear to you now and forever that you are not alone, and you never will be. Not as long as you keep those that love you close at hand. Even though right now you may feel like throttling both of them Ron and Hermione do have your best interest at heart. They want their old friend back, the one that would laugh at Ron's jokes that Hermione would not understand and the direct contrast of that. I wish that I could be there for you to answer all of those questions that a father/godfather is supposed to answer for his son/godson, but it was not to be and we must play the hand that we are dealt. I do not know why you have been made to suffer so much in your short life; I cannot see what crime you, or any of us, could have committed that would have yielded such a punishment.
Harry, be forever diligent in your studies, unlike your father and I. We did not study up to our full potential and there are times that I have wondered if studying more would have changed anything. Heed Dumbledore's advice, whether you agree with it or not. He may not always say what you would like him to but he is wise beyond his years and there is no one that I trust more, and so should you. As for 12 Grimmauld Place it is now all yours, Kreacher to, and what you do with it is up to you.
As to more personal matters do not let the fight with Voldemort keep you from opening yourself up to others. If there is a special someone that you fancy, don't hold back, tell her…the worst thing that you can do is to keep it all bottled up like Ron does and not tell the girl that you fancy how much she means to you. Whether it be Ms. Chang, that I've heard so much about, Ms. Weasley, or someone that you have yet to meet, do not let her go for the sake of keeping her safe. Because if you do Harry then I swear to you that you will live to regret that decision. I myself am proof of that.
If you have not guessed by now it is your two best friends that fancy each other mightily. I hope that this does not cause you any strife. I am only telling you this because I have the oddest feeling that you will need the love that they share for each other when the final battle commences. When James fell in love with Lily I did my best to give him council and to help him win her heart. However you are lucky Harry, for both have already one their beloved's heart, fairly early on I'd say. The trick will be in getting them to admit it to one another and then truly believe it. Use this experience in your own romantic pursuits Harry, for if you go through the rest of your time at Hogwarts I swear to you that they will be lonely days. Not to end on a sour note I wish you good luck in the future Harry, be kind and generous to all and never doubt that you are loved, no matter what Voldemort or anyone else says.
Sirius Black
P.S.-Don't let Remus blame himself for this; he was always doing that back in school…every time that James and I would get into trouble he would place the blame squarely on his own shoulders. And after Voldemort has been defeated, as I know that you will win Harry, see to it that someone like him never…ever, arises again. The wizarding and muggle world has already been put through far too much because of him. The world might not get so lucky as to have a champion such as yourself again…
