Dear Harry,

Hello. It is odd writing in someone's Wizarding Book, I don't know what to say. I mean, you are a good baby, Harry, and you look just like James. But I don't know what to write. I know what was written in mine, but I'm not your parent. I just came to visit today. I don't know what you've been like all week. In my Wizarding Book, my mother wrote most of the entries. I think that the reason that Lily isn't writing most of these is because she had muggle parents, and doesn't understand the custom very well.

Remus may have told you that he might become a teacher. I think he would be a good one. I don't know why he would want to go back to school though. It was fun while we were there, but he wouldn't have James or Sirius there if he went back. Just a bunch of kids. And there would be our old teachers there. They still sort of scare me. Professor Sprout always had it out for me, and Flitwick hasn't liked me since fifth year and I failed the O.W.L.

I got a job a couple of months ago. I'm working in the Ministry. Remus has had a couple of odd jobs, but I'm the first of us four to get a full steady job. James and Sirius don't seem to understand why I took a job I'm not really interested in, but they don't need to work for a living, and I do.

Wait, I'm supposed to write about you and not me. I'm sorry. But I don't know what to write about. I don't want to talk about the war, but I don't know how to avoid it. I hate to admit it, but I don't think it's going well. Dumbledore looks more and more tired every time I see him. I hate to think we're losing, but I can't put it any other way.

I am sorry, Harry. I don't mean to upset you or anything. But I can't help but voice my fears. To you, at least. Not to anyone else, I wouldn't dare. It's depressing to see how few people are fighting. I'm risking my neck, and what thanks do I get? Nothing. It's terrifying out there. Maybe the war will be over when you read this. I hope so. I'm damn tired of it.

-Peter

Author's Note: I'm trying to create a different style of writing for each of the characters, so please don't be put off by some of them because they are not as fluent or eloquent as others.

PS- And I know this chapter is a really short one. I'm sorry. But I am still taking suggestions for new character.
