Author's Note: I knew, basically the moment I finished chapter five, that I'd be using that format again. Someday, I might have to write an entire story this way; I find it far too much fun. However, I will admit that this batch of letters might be a little confusing to follow. If you need anything explained, please don't hesitate to contact me. Happy reading!

Dear Mr. Potter and Mrs. Malfoy:

This is a notification that your legal paperwork has been received and filed. This completes the adoption process for James Potter. No reply owl is necessary.

Congratulations,
Morgan Toadvine
Head of Adoption Department

Mum—

I'm coming to pick the boys up.
We need to talk.

—Lala

Dearest Lala—

It's such a pity you can't come to Prague with me, but I suppose it can't be helped. Take care of yourself.

Hopewell House is still and always yours, if you need it.

I love you.

—Mother

Harry-

I heard the adoption went through, congratulations.
Dinner to celebrate?

-Mione

Mione—

You, me and Ron. Dinner. No one else. Urgent.

—Harry

Lana—

I'm eating with Ron and Hermione to fill them in. I'll be home as soon as I can. Don't take the boys to Diagon Alley without me.

—Hal

Mum—

I wish I could vacation with you, but I'm stuck in England until December. Perhaps the boys and I could join you for part of the Christmas holidays.

Enjoy Prague. And Bucharest. And wherever else your love of art takes you. But please, for the love of Merlin, not Madrid.

—Lala

19 August 2019

Moody-

Why didn't you tell us as soon as you knew?

We're in, whatever the plan is.

-Hermione

Moody—

Alana and I are taking the boys to Diagon Alley for the day. Can you have someone watching Knockturn? I don't trust them not to try to snatch Alana or the boys.

—Harry

Head Moody—

If you're free sometime this week, I should like to schedule a meeting with you to discuss an idea. Please don't inform Harry of this meeting until or unless it becomes necessary. I await your reply.

Regards,
A.S.M

Shacklebolt-

Have a look at this. What the devil is the minx up to now?

-Moody

Moody,

She sent me one, as well. Shall we?

Shacklebolt.

Hermione-

I would argue, but you wouldn't listen.

I'll pull you three in for a meeting soon.

-Moody

Harry-

Done. It'll be Graystone.

-Moody

K.S.-

Might as well. She doesn't want us telling Harry, so it should be interesting at least.

-A.M.

Dear Mr. Potter and Aurors Weasley:

This is an owl summoning you to a meeting with Department Head Moody next Tuesday at 3 pm to discuss certain important matters. No reply is necessary.

Sincerely,
Sean Fletcher
Secretary to Alastor P. Moody, Head of the Auror Department

Dear Lady Malfoy:

This is an owl to confirm your appointment with Minister Shacklebolt and Department Head Moody next Tuesday at 2 pm. No reply is necessary.

Truly yours,
Matilda Finch
Secretary to Kingsley A. Shacklebolt, Minister of Magic

24 August 2019

Harry-

Why does someone else get to have a mission while we cool our heels at home? Excuse me, who's the Savior? Who are the Golden Trio?

-Mione

Mione—

Now who's getting a big head about their title? Do I get to smack you upside the head now and give you one of those Looks That Say 6,000 Words?

Personally, if I never have to be the Savior again I'll be perfectly happy. I have enough on my plate with Hogwarts, Alana, and the boys.

Besides, we're the best- and thus last- line of defense.

—Harry

Department Head Moody,

I hereby grant permission and give my consent for Alana Montblanc Malfoy to regain her position as an Unmentionable. She is to be the main operative in Operation: Stingray, and subject to your authority.

Regards,
Kingsley A. Shacklebolt
Minister of Magic

Moody,

I hate writing formal missives. Sorry about that, but you know how things like this go.

Does the chit have any idea how she'll do it?

Shacklebolt.

K.S.-

No idea. It's her operation, all she's asked for were a contact, untraceable funds, and amnesty "in case of emergencies" (her words, not mine).

-A.M.

Auror Corona-

This owl is to notify you that you will be the contact for an Unmentionable operating undercover in Spain in response to the situation there. Your duties will be to ensure her safety, provide her with contact to and with the Ministry, and to aid her as needed. She will be known to you as Miss Leto Semele. Arrangements will be made for your introduction after September 01.

Burn this message after reading.

Sincerely,
Alastor P. Moody
Head of the Auror Department

Montblanc-

Everything is in order. We wait for your cue.

-Moody

Head Moody-

I'll be ready after the boys are in school.
What's my alibi?

Regards,
A.S.M.

A.S.M.-

We'll make it seem as though you're under guard in London. Should deter Death Eaters from causing trouble. And the civilians from going into an uproar.

-A.M.

A.M.—

Merlin forbid the civilians cause an uproar.

—A.S.M.

25 August 2019

Luna-

I need a favor. Can you run a short piece in the Daily Prophet for me? Need to create an alibi for an operative.

-Moody

Moody_

Whatever you need.
Do I get to know the purpose of the operation?

_Corona

Corona-

Kill the leaders of the Death Eater movement.

This operative has connections to both sides and will serve as a double agent.

-Moody

Alastor,

Yes, of course! Would you like to send it to me? Or would you prefer if I write it? I can have it out whenever you need it.

Luna

Luna-

Thanks. I'll send it to you by the end of the day. Edit it, if you think it needs that.

-Moody

Roman—

I very much look forward to joining you in Madrid. Indeed, you've spoken so fondly of it that I do believe you love it more than our own beloved Santorini! I'll arrive by boat at 9 pm on September 05.

Love,
Leto

A.M.—

I'll pose as Auror Corona's girlfriend from Greece, claiming we met there in school. I'll tell Bellatrix that I can use Corona to get information on the Ministry while I wait to lure Lady Malfoy to Spain.

—A.S.M.

A.S.M.-

I admit, you haven't lost your touch.

-A.M.

A.M.—

I know.

—A.S.M.

Shacklebolt-

I hate to say this, but the minx's plan might actually work. She always was a genius at this sort of thing.

So if she succeeds, we're giving in?

-Moody

Moody,

Not much choice, is there?

Shacklebolt.

Chief Witch Silvera,

Be advised that Alana Montblanc Malfoy's citizenship is to be reinstated upon certain conditions set by me. It is no longer dependent upon the conditions laid out in her visa. She is also to be granted amnesty for her past actions and compensation for her endeavors. I will alert you at the proper time to do this.

Sincerely,
Kingsley A. Shacklebolt
Minister of Magic

26 August 2019

Hal—

Apologies for not telling you in person, but in my defense you were gone before any of us woke up.

I'm taking Julian to Malfoy Manor and Hopewell House for a few days before school starts. James went to stay with "Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione" [you've brainwashed him well, congratulations]. We'll be back at Grimmauld Place by the 30th.

—Lana

Aunt Charlotte—

I need a favor. Spread word to the right people that a Death Eater is coming to Spain— one who has access to both the Ministry and myself and Harry. Her name is Leto Semele, and she's from Greece. She worked there during the Second War, recruiting magical creatures for the Dark Lord.

—Lala

28 August 2019

My Lala,

It's a dangerous game you play, my love.
I'll do what I can.

Charlotte.

My Leto_

Nothing will ever replace Santorini. Just like no one can ever supplant you.

Till the fifth.

Always yours.
_Roman

A.M.—

Everythng is ready. Do you have the ingredients I asked for?

—A.S.M.

A.S.M.-

Delivered to Hopewell.

Good luck.

-A.M.

29 August 2019

Minister Shacklebolt—

I'm requesting permission to travel with my husband and sons to Hogwarts in order to keep up the charade that Harry is my guardian. I will Floo to Grimmauld Place that night, there to remain until 03 September when I will travel to France to begin Operation: Stingray.

Regards,
A.S.M.

Lady Malfoy,

Permission granted.

Your passport and visa will be delivered to your guardian by 5 pm, along with the other documents necessary to cement your alias.

Minister Shacklebolt.

01 September 2019

James-

Good luck for your second year! You'll do us all proud.

Love,
Uncle Ron, Aunt Hermione, Molly, and Severus

Julian,

Good luck at Hogwarts. Your father would be very proud of you.

-Grandmama

James—

You have no need of luck, for you're sure to do well at school, but I give you my luck and my love anyways. I've left you your father's tie; it's on your pillow.

—Mother

Julian—

Congratulations, love. Your father would be very proud that his son joined the House where he was so happy. I've left you your father's tie; it's on your pillow.

—Mother

Hal—

Take care of the boys.

I'll be in touch, and I promise I'll explain when I can.

—Lana

Moody—

What's going on?

—Harry

Harry m'boy-

Can't explain in writing. Come to the office when you can.

-Moody

03 September 2019

Lana—

You had better be careful or I swear to Godric I'll kill you.

—Hal

Why Hal, you sound concerned. The Savior, worry about a Death Eater? Godric would be rolling in his grave.

Be. Careful.

Take. Care. Of. Our. Boys.

I promise.

I promise.
