Dearest Uncle Harry, Aunt Ginny; Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione.
Is it cordial to send owls in the wizarding world? I'm afraid I haven't anything for you save my undying gratitude. I've been trying to ask Father about the wizard world since the letter came, but most unfortunately he knows nothing of it. Except that you, Uncle Harry had a white owl, a broomstick and once levitated a giant pudding onto the head of grandmother Petunias dinner guests. He won't tell me about what happened the last time you used this Floo powder. Judging from the shade his face went though, I would say I agree with Aunt Hermione that it was dreadful.
My calendar is fully open on the 21st of August, thank you most graciously. My parents have set up a scholarship so you needn't worry about the price of books and things.
Mother too would like to extend her thanks for you gracious offer and is very much looking forward to meeting you. She has calmed down a great deal over the whole thing. She and I tried to go book shopping the other day but no where could we find Standard book of spells grade one.
I talked to father and he said wizards lived separately from people who weren't magical. Did someone really give father a pig's tail? No wonder he looked so strained when the letter came.
Well, I suppose I had better wrap up this letter and get packing. 4 30 in the afternoon would be perfect on the 21st of August. I await your response on pins and needles.
Most sincerely,
Del
