Toby Flint to Lucius Malfoy
Malfoy,
They caught Wright. He was almost across the border into France but the damn Aurors got to him. I'll expect it will be in the Prophet by tomorrow morning. Thought you ought to know. He joined ranks on your recommendation after all.
Wish Narcissa and Draco, a Happy New Year, from me. I suppose I shall see you at the ministry.

Charlie Weasley to Bill Weasley
Are you out of your mind? To take points from your own house? Your own brother? It was only half an hour past curfew! I was going back to common room anyway. It's all Tonks fault, she wanted to see if eating mud actually affected the flobberworms or not. But Bill seriously, you took twenty points. I think this head-boy thing is getting to you. Give them back to me, yeah?
-Charlie.

Hermione Granger to Miss Graham, the Year 2 teacher
Dear Miss Graham,
I am sorry for dropping the water jug on Jenny's book. I didn't mean to do it. I was only thinking of dropping it but I accidently let go of the handle. I promise it was an accident. I also didn't mean to make her chair topple over. I don't understand how that happened. One second she was fine and the other she was on the floor saying I pushed her chair. But I didn't! She was being mean to me so I was thinking of pushing her chair, but I didn't actually do it. Please believe me, Miss Graham

Pomona Sprout to Minerva McGonagall
Minerva,
Your team better beat Severus' in the next match. He has been positively unbearable lately. Ever since Carson made us lose that match, Severus has done nothing but gloat. As a punishment I am not sending him any leaves for the calming draught. But then Poppy will be on my case. Drat. How are the snapdragons blooming? No funny smells, I hope?
-Pomona
P.s: I plucked some more magical thyme. Pick some up, next time you come a-wandering to my humble abode.

Bill Weasley to Arthur Weasley
Dad,
I got it! I got the acceptance letter at this morning's mail delivery. They say that they require an O in Arithmancy and Charms and at least an E in Potions and Transfiguration and then a pass in any other subject. Dad, I'm going to be a curse-breaker! I can't wait to start. Providing I make the grades, they will want me to sign the contract by 1st September.
-Love Bill

Arthur Weasley to Bill Weasley
Son,
I told your mother and both her and I are so proud of you. I know how much you wanted this internship and you deserve it. Now just keep calm, focus and do well in your N.E. . I'm sure you will be fine! Only a few more weeks and then you'll be done with Hogwarts, my boy!
-Love dad

July 1987
Andromeda Tonks to Bellatrix LeStrange
Bellatrix,
I am writing this letter and I don't even know if Azkaban gets owl-delivery but I had to try at least once. Bellatrix, if you receive this letter I want you to know a few things. I don't hate you. I could never. I detest the path you have chosen. I resent that because of you so many families have been ripped apart. I abhor that you have chosen to take the worst traits of our family and make them your whole being. But you are still my sister and I still want you to come back. Please, Bellatrix, see this letter as an act of reconcilement. Please, I want you to choose the light side. Our family was never supposed to get involved in the war. That's not what the Blacks represent or condone. Don't let one evil man's views change who you really are. I know you. You're stubborn and sensitive but you're not stupid, Bella. You know that the side you fought for was wrong. Come back, Bella. Your family needs you. I need you.
-Andromeda

August 1987
Peter Pettigrew to Sirius Black
Sirius,
I know letters don't reach Azkaban and even if they did, I would never send this letter. But a day doesn't pass by when I don't think about you. Or Remus. Or James. It wasn't personal, I promise. I would have died. The dark lord would have killed me if I didn't tell them about Godric's Hollow. I never meant it to get so out of hand. I wish I could meet you and tell you how much I wanted them to survive. Lily and James had been lucky three times. How was I supposed to know that James wouldn't be able to fight him off? Sirius, I never wanted you to go to Azkaban. I had no choice. It was either you or I, you understand, don't you? For six years I've been living as Wormtail. I have never felt so lost, Sirius. I miss you. I really do. That night I lost everything too. I lost myself. A wizarding family adopted me six years ago and soon I'll be going to Hogwarts with one of the boys. As a pet rat. It'll be strange without all of you there. I just hope this boy who I belong to doesn't get sorted into Gryffindor. I don't think I could handle it. Not with so many memories of us four.

Fat Friar to Nearly headless Nick
Nick,
Okay so you got another Weasley. But he might not even be good at Quidditch you know! He looks very studious actually. Why do you think he isn't in The Grey Lady's house? Oh and before I forget, its your duty this month to take control of Peeves. He has got better recently hasn't he? Perhaps the Baron will lift the no-Peeves ban by the time your death-day party comes round!

October 1987
Bill Weasley to Percy Weasley
Congratulations Perce!
Gryffindor house has sure received an excellent member. Training is going well. So many curses that I never knew existed. Some of these objects are even older than Great-aunt Muriel and honestly some of the places that they are found in. Warlock Ingrid took me underwater, on a mission last week, to retrieve an old pipe, which had been cursed to emit toxic fumes! Unbelievable, no? I heard you took Scabbers with you to school. Does he still sleep all day? You really should get a new pet. You have an unhealthy obsession with that rat! Try and not get too stressed about your work. It is only first-year, after all!
-Love Bill

November 1987
Dudley Dursley to Harry Potter
Dear Cousin,
If you think you can get away by lying to the teachers about making Pierce's bag split open then you are stupid. I am going to tell mum what you did in school today and I bet she will put you in the cupboard until Christmas holidays! Hope you have enough cellotape for your glasses, you nerd; you will need it tomorrow while we break your face.
Be ready,
-Dudley

December 1987
Narcissa Malfoy to Andromeda Tonks
Dear Andy,
Merry Christmas. It has been seventeen years since you walked out on the family. And ten years since I've seen you. Has it been that long already? I'm feeling a bit sad today because no one is home today and its bloody Christmas! This the one day the family should be home. But Lucius is at the ministry. It was Roger's trial this morning. He doesn't have the mark but he was convicted of the same crimes that those who bear the mark were. Draco insisted on going to Blaise Zabini's house. How could I refuse? It isn't as if I was going to do anything special. I wonder how your Christmas is going. It must be better than mine. Nymphadora must be big now. She was only seven when I saw her. Does she remember me? She must think me an awful aunt. One day I will meet her. And you. One day when our sister is not in Azkaban and the ministry isn't after my husband's life!
Have a good New Year, Andy.
-Narcissa
