Harry –
I'm doing my best not to meddle in your affairs. However, this is one piece of post that you should not ignore.
I tried to talk McGonagall out of it. When she asked why, I didn't know how to respond.
I'm sorry.
-Hermione
Mr. Potter,
Although I am sure that Miss Granger has made it abundantly clear by now, I have been trying desperately to contact you. As you know, the Order of the Phoenix hosts biannual celebrations in honor and remembrance of the War and those who we lost. I realize that you are quite busy and so I have been attempting to remind you that, though unbelievable, another two years have gone by and it is time for the celebration to take place.
I am confident in my assumption that you would not miss this event unless under the most dire of circumstances. And, as Miss Granger has confirmed that you are able bodied and apparently well, I look forward to seeing you at the event. In the wake of your silence, I have taken it upon myself to confirm your RSVP with the Order, and to mark Miss Weasley as your companion to the function. I hope that I was correct in assuming that you would enjoy the sirloin as your dinner selection.
Sincerely,
M. McGonagall
