Hermione,
Hello again, my long lost sister. I hope this letter finds you well and happy. I am largely alright – missing you terribly of course. Even after all this time it seems so strange not to talk to you each day. There are so many time recently I could have used your steadying influence and calming voice.
So, what's new since my last letter? Well, life at the Ministry is becoming increasingly frantic. The new system of monitoring witches and wizards that we have been working on for the last few years is now only a few months away from completion, so it is all hands to the pumps for the final push.
There is talk of having to work weekends, which Ginny is not happy about. Hopefully, being in a more advisory role than actually building parts of the system, I won't be too affected. I am going to move into a new job though, when the system is switched on. Instead of going off to a new project, I will be staying to work on this system, for six months to start with but hopefully permanently.
I'm moving out of this building soon too. The Ministry has outgrown it's current building, so small groups are moving into other buildings in London. I will be in a building called 1 Canada Square. It's so tall that you can see it from all over London. Apparently (according to Colin Creevey) there are pictures of it on the Interweb, or whatever he called it. I imagine you've got connected to it – whatever it is.
Away from work things are OK. I've been in touch with Luna a fair bit, and have enjoyed hearing all about her travels. I don't think they found any new species but it seems like they had a great time.
The kids are great. We been doing a lot of swimming and cycling while the weather has been good. Muggle bicycles are a great way to stay in shape. Ginny's bicycle has a little trailer on the back, while mine has what's called a tag-a-long. This means all four of us can go out together.
I hope your exams went well. I've been thinking about you and sending positive thoughts. I wish I could hear from you. I guess it's true that you never appreciate what you've got until it's gone. Still, let's always keep in mind Dumbledore's words: those we love are never truly gone, if we remember them. And I remember you. Ever single day.
Love always,
Harry.
