AN: Oops! Sorry I haven't updated in a while!
Dear Draco,
This summers start has been rather boring. Not much to report. Some of the kids were adopted while I was gone which is good, though I will miss them. The food here sucks compared to the kind at Hogwarts. I would kill for chicken right now. But enough about the bad stuff. Your birthday is coming up and I was wondering if you want me to send a package or anything. I can proabably make a cake but I don't think it would survive the trip. Our owl isn't the most reliable. Hows your summer going? Anything fun your family is doing? Thats as much as I can write for now. I gotta do chores yuck!

Dear Natalie,
My summer is at a slow start. My father has been dragging me to several dinner parties now a days. Says I need to learn the family busness. So far its been a real drag. All these grown ups talking about things I have no clue about. They are no fun at all. About my birthday you don't have to send anything. If you want to and I am intersted in that cake you were talking about you can use my family owl. I will send him if you want. My family is making a trip to france in july which isn't as much fun as its sound. Busniess as usual. By the way your birthday is in the summer to right. I know its in August and all but if you want anything in perticualr just send me a letter and I can get one of my servents to go find it. I can't wait for your next letter.

Hello, sorry I have not been able to write to you. My father has blown up another owl. His experaments keep getting more and more out of control. But don;t worry he always keeps his wand handy to put it out. I have done more research on that dream you told me about. I do think it might be linked with your powers but not in the way you think. I think it might be a repressed or maybe a rmoved memory. Its hard to decipher which at this point. I have told my father about his. He seems most interested in this as well. We are talking to the ministry about convincing you to come visist durnign the summer. So far we do not have much luck. I am very sorry we will try to get you to come visit. Oddly they do not want you out without offical supervison. I heard your birthday is in August . I will gicve you your present when you come visit. I rather give it to you in person and early than thru and owl and proably late. Hope your summer is going well.
Love
Luna Lovegood
Dear Natalie
Its hermine. I do not know how I am suppose to go an entire summer without magic. Now that I know whats out there its very difficult to go back. I guess you know what I mean. How is your summer going. My parents wont stop talking about my school to their friends. They want me to tell everything about it to them. I think it might be easier just to write it all down you know. Ha wouldn't that be cool if someone wrote about Hogwarts and published it in the muggle world. They would probably think they were bonkers. Anyways I jsut wanted to say thank you for studying with me over the year. I got my grades with the help of you. I hope you think the same of me.
Love
Hermine
Dear Luna,
Luna thank you so much for trying. I hope you succed in getting me out of this prison. This place is a mad house. I would love to visit your father and you. It would be nice to hang out with one of my friends. Also thank you for looking into my visions. This will help. They haven't reappeared so far. I am very grateful for that. It would be awesome to get some answers for once. Thank you so much and I would love to see what you have in store as in a birthday present. It must be pretty cool. I am so excited. Can't wait to see ya!

Dear Hermine,
Haha yeah I guess a book series about hogwarts would be pretty cool/weird. I don't think many people would read it though. It might be a good read though. Thank your for studying with me also. I wouldn't have the grades I have if it wasn't for you. I would love to study with you next year and hang out with you also. I not all work and no play :P Your parents sound pretty cool. They seem pretty interseted in your life. That must be fun. See you next year.

Dear Draco,
Oh my gosh that would be amazing. I would love to bake you a cake for your birthday. Just send me what flavor you want or if there is a specific recipe you want me to use and I will bake it up. The farmers market here is really good so it will taste delicous. I can't wait to bake it for you. By the way frosting might be a little difficult so I might have to get one of the older kids here that is allowed to do magic to just decorate it with magic. Is that okay? There isn't much frosting for sale around here. ALso those parties your parents take you to seem boring. Are there any other kids there or is it just you. Whats the food like there? weird question I know. Oh and also the owl idea would work perfectly. Thank you so much and also about my birthday. Is it okay if a book would okay. Just a good book you think is good I would love. Write to me soon.

Dear Natalie,
A chocolate cake would be cool. Frosting is no problem. Just send it over when you think its good. Frosting or not its still gonna taste the best. The book will be easy. I have a book right next to me that I think you would love. Do you enjoy fantasy? This is about greek gods and goddeses. I always enjoyed mythology. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Its a series so maybe if you like the first book I can send you more of them. The parties are all adults my father works with. My mother is in the same busniess but they work with each other. I feel like calling them parties gives off the wrong idea. They are more like formal busniess meeting with some music and food. They dont ever dance. Though I am supposet to learn whatever the heck they are talking about. My father work in the minestry might forever be a mysetery to me. Can't wait to taste that cake!

Dear Draco,
Happy Birthday! So how does it feel to be twelve? Did have a cool birthday party. The cake is with this letter. I just hope it survived. If its still edible let me know if you like it. We got another funding check this week so I got to put more sugar in it. It should be sweet enough for you know. The book you were talking about sounds awesome I can't wait for my birthday. Oh I have been meaning to tell you. Luna Lovegood and her father finally got clearence to let me visit them for a week in july. So I wont be able to write to you during that week. Though I promise when I get back I will write ten letters to make up for it lol. That trip to Paris should be around the same time though so we both wont miss out on much. Can't wait to hear from you again. Enjoy the Cake!

Dear Natalie,
I am terribly sorry the ministry canceled you coming to visit. Its so unfair. They said we can send you the present thru this owl. I still wish I could have given it to you in person. Anyway its some wonderful glasses I found in one of my fathers convetntions. They are said to help you see nanosprites. They crawl in your ears you know. Its not something I would proticularly like to see. But they tend to hover over lost things. In case you lose something put those on and find them. If you lose the glasses then I don't know what to really do about that. Sorry its so early I would have sent it on your actual but I just couldn't wait. Have fun with them again so sorry we couln't come visit you. See you at school.
Love
Luna Lovegood
Dear Luna,
I am dissapointed that I couldn't come visist you. The ministry is so mean. I wish they would let me out of this reched prison other than school and such. YOu know I am not even allowed in the garden without a supervisor. I have never seen any of the other children treated like this. Then again most of them don't get into half the amount of trouble I end up in. Though some times it is not even my fault. Thank you so much for the gift. You would not beilive the amount of things that go missing in this place. The younger kids keep begging me to go find some of their lost toys. YOur right they do come in handy. I promise not to lose them. I can't wait till school starts!

Dear Natalie,
The cake was amazing! You really have a gift when it comes to baking. Our chef here could never compare to it. Thank you very much. My father has been asking about who I have been writing to all month. I am surprised he even noticed. My mother thinks I am doing school work. They can be clueless sometimes. I have told them a lot about you. They seemed very interested in you. They say they knew your parents when they worked in the ministry. When school starts again they would love to meet you. I will send the book in a couple of weeks so that way it arrives on your birthday. I hope you enjoy it. The trip to paris was boring. We didn't even get to do any sight seeing. I swear whats the point in taking me if we aren't going to do anything fun. Anyways I can't wait to hear from you again. Its always fun reading your letters.

Dear Natlaie,
Hey I haven't heard from you in a while. Are you alright? Your birthday is in a couple of days. I was just wondering if you were going to write before that. I understand if you haven't had the time to write. I am sending your present along with this so it arrives on time. So happy early birthday. Or in case you are reading this on time Happy Birthday. I don't know. I just hope you write back soon. Enjoy the book.

Dear Draco,
I am so sorry I haven't written in so long. The checks are late and they are making cut backs here. They are allowing one letter per week for the whole house. The mistress takes up the most postage. I had to get this letter in before she found out. She is going to notice that one of her stamps are missing and she is going to know it was me. I just quickly want to say thank you for the book. I haven't been able to put it down. You were right mythology is so interesting. I have taken a real interest in artimes and athena. They seem really cool to me. Only one week until school starts. I excited to be able to see you again. We just got the school supplies list today. The mistress is taking me shopping for my supplies in a few days. I can't wait for school to start back. See you soon!
