Narcissa Malfoy to Andromeda Tonks
Dear Andromeda,
Would you look at that? It has already been three weeks since I wrote a letter to you. The new year has certainly brought with it a new beginning for us. Lucius got accepted as governor for Hogwarts! He will have a direct say in the runnings of the school. He has always been so proactive and ready to lead – this is a perfect opportunity for him. Another wonderful thing is that Rafael Montague's father has been released from Azkaban. And one more thing Andy. I think you'd like this. It is about Bella. I was finally allowed to have a private talk session with her. She remembers you, Andy. She remembers all the time us sisters were together. It is hard to tell with Bellatrix, but I think she misses us. I really think that if she carries on with such good behaviour, her prison sentence might be cut short. Us Black sisters would be reunited then, Andy! You'd come visit wouldn't you?

Pomona Sprout to Minerva McGonogall
Minerva I swear to Merlin I am going to ask Albus for early retirement. Some idiotic Gryffindor boys thought it funny to leave my plants valentine cards. Singing Valentine cards! My poor baby plants were trembling from fright at the noise. I think you know which Gryffindor boys we are talking about. Now don't you go about giving me excuses! If you don't do something, I will give them detention every single evening until they leave Hogwarts!
Yours extremely disgruntledly,
-Pomona

Minerva McGonogall to Pomona Sprout
I hope you realise that the Weasleys and their friend Jordan are now, thanks to your detentions, very behind on not only Transfiguration but practically every other subject except Herbology. Keep going at this rate and Pomona you will be stuck with having to mentor the boys when they graduate because at this rate Herbology will be the only exam they pass! Honestly woman, you could have waited, I told you I was working on the pranking.
Yours irritably,
-Minerva

Narcissa Malfoy to Andromeda Tonks
It has been a few months since I last wrote you a letter. Life got somewhat hectic. Draco's magic has been more unpredictable and erratic than usual. Lucius is busy with meetings at the ministry and his board meetings with the governors of Hogwarts. I have had to take over Draco's potions lessons. It is strange to think that Draco has already reached the age I was when I first met Lucius. There isn't much else to say. I hope to talk to you one day. I would very much like that.
Love,
Cissy

Nearly-headless-Nick to the Fat Friar
I am starting the betting early this year. If I win, I expect a lavish party on my death-day. If you win, I'll introduce you to my good ghost-friend Lydia Morris. She died in a tragic owl incident back in 1734. Don't tease her about the specks on her face…its from the blood that dripped while thousands of owls nipped and bit her. She is rather sensitive about it. BUT that all is of course if you win the bet. Which you won't. Because my bet is that Harry Potter will be joining us in September and he will be a Gryffindor.

Quirrenus Quirrel to Albus Dumbledore
My esteemed Professor,
I am so sorry to reply to this post so late. Of course I am still interested in teaching this upcoming academic year. My only request that my quarters be placed in seclusion to others and that I not be disturbed after dinner each day. You see, exploration has made me rather a paranoid person and I wouldn't want any student or staff to get hurt if I throw out a defensive spell in my paranoia.
With regards,
-Quirrenus Quirrel

Rubeus Hagrid to Albus Dumbledore
Professor Dumbledore sir,
I have just reached home after dropping young Harry back to his aunt and uncle's house. He looks exactly like his father but has Lily's eyes. I have retrieved the you-know-what from you-know-where. Will speak to you in person about it very soon. Until then it is safe with me.

Draco Malfoy to Lucius Malfoy
Father,
I am writing to inform you that, as expected, I have been sorted into the house of Slytherin. Potter went into Gryffindor. I tried to befriend him father, but he is nothing more than a blood traitor. He chose a Weasley over my offer of friendship. I hope mother is doing well.
Your son,
-Draco

Remus Lupin to Sirius Black
Black,
Today marks the tenth anniversary of their demise. Ten years since Harry was orphaned. A decade has passed and yet my hatred for you and the resentment I have for you has not changed. I have thought about this for ten years, Sirius, and I still can not understand. Why did you do it? Why did you betray your best friend? What had you to gain?
-Remus Lupin

Peter Pettigrew to Sirius Black
When I realised that I'd be returning to Hogwarts with Percy's younger brother, I was prepared – after all Hogwarts was just a building. When I realised Ron, just like his brothers was sorted into Gryffindor, I was prepared – after all Gryffindor was just a name for a house. When I realised that I was in the same first year dormitory that we were in, I was prepared for that too – after all it was just a room. But I wasn't prepared for Harry. I wasn't prepared to be hit with the memories of James and Lily. I wasn't prepared for Ron to become best friends with him. And because I wasn't prepared, I suddenly wished the clocks could go back. Don't think I don't miss them, Sirius, because I do. I just had no choice. It was their deaths or the end of me and I…chose myself. I don't take their sacrifice, your sacrifice lightly. I miss them. I miss you. I miss us. But I didn't want to die…

Harry Potter to Vernon Dursley
Dear Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia,
My house professor says that I must return to Surrey for the summer because school doesn't stay open for students. The fifty pence was very generous of you – thank you.
Your nephew,
-Harry
AN: Until next time,
Peace
