Dear Mum,
CONGRATULATIONS!
You must send me a photo straight away! He sounds so sweet.. Poor little squirt, I'm not surprised he cries so much, this is a big old world he's been thrust into and I wouldn't wish the crazy faces on anyone! I'm glad your feeling okay and once I get back from Hogwarts I'll be able to help out around the house for you and look after the baby before I start thinking about work.
I had to think about names for a little bit which is why I didn't send back the letter straight away (I hope the vicars not too mad)but I've asked all my friends and we've all had a good think and Sirius thinks we ought to carry on with the Greek theme. You gave me crazy name and these things do tend to run in families! So what about Apollo? He was Artemis's twin brother wasn't he? And I know he's not my twin but that could be pretty cool. Apollo represented everything civilised, music and order and harmony which, these days, we seem to have so little of.
Just a thought.
I told Sirius what Martin said and he laughed straight for about five hours. I kid you not! He said he'd love to come back to mine for a bit (Lily and James are heading off round the world together but would love to come for a few days at the very start of the holidays but only if you're sure you're up to it – Lily was most insistent about that.) Sirius has had some problems with his family and with James away he doesn't feel he can impose on Mr and Mrs Potter all summer so I said he could stay with us until he gets his own place sorted out. I hope that's okay.
Lily sends her love, as do all the girls and Remus, Sirius, Peter and James all say hello!
Lots and Lots and Lots of love to you, Martin and the baby.
See you soon!
