Dear Harry,
What do you mean – you’re going for training and you can’t tell us
where? Is that something Dumbledore told you to do? Why no mails by
owl? Hedwig turned up here the other day – but she refused to take
my first letter to you. This is my second and I’m putting it in the
post.
I have passed on your letters to Ron and Remus. I’ve also told them about your P.O.Box, but I don’t think they understood completely. Ginny asked when you’d be returning – you will be back for school in
September right? You better had be Harry James Potter – keeping us
all in the dark like this.Write back soon to let me know you’re all right.
Love,
Hermione

Dear Harry,
It has come to my attention that you have left the safety of Privet Drive. Please return as soon as possible. Your relatives’ memories have been modified to ensure your stay there.
Please contact me as soon as possible if you have any more visions.
It will be necessary for Professor Snape to resume your Occulmency lessons. He will arrive in Privet Drive the day after tomorrow.
Do not disappoint me in this Harry.

Dear Harry,
Why have you gone off to train without the rest of us? Where are you? Why won’t you answer any mail by owl?
Tell me now or face my Bat Bogey Hex!
Love,
Ginny.

Dear Harry,
Professor Snape has informed me you have yet to return to Privet
Drive.I am very disappointed in you Harry, I thought better of you than you being this careless, with your own safety and that of your family’s.
You must return to Privet Drive and cease this mail blocking by owl.

Dear Cub,
Hermione passed on your letter. I’m glad you aren’t blaming yourself for Sirius’ death. Ultimately it was his decision to go and also his
choice to underestimate Bellatrix Lestrange.
I understand your motivation in wanting to train, Cub, just don’t let
revenge and fear be the only reasons you’re doing this. We can take
care of ourselves.
I’m currently in headquarters trying to sort out the building now Sirius has gone. Kreacher, you’ll be pleased to know, is dead having
betrayed his final master. His head was attached to the wall –
until the Weasley twins tried one of their new products out on them.
The house elf heads are gone. So is the wall! They decided it was a
success and asked for permission to use it on Mrs Black’s painting.
Dumbledore said not to…
Unfortunately she screamed a little bit too much last night and I found a spare box of their new product.
Fortunately, Tonks is rather good at fixing walls.
I hope your training is going well.
Love,
Remus Lupin

Hey mate!
Haven’t heard anything from you all summer. Mum says if you need a lift to the station then owl us and we’ll pick you up.
I’ve had my results – Hermione hasn’t stopped going on and on about hers.
I’ve made Quidditch captain this year and my prefect badge was in
my letter for school supplies. McGonagall will drop the ban for you
and then we can stuff the slimy slytherins again this year!
See you on the train!
Ron.

Well mate,
You didn’t show up. How are we supposed to win the Cup if you don’t come back to school? The Ferret is awful. Get back to Hogwarts quick so we can stuff the Slytherins.

Harry,
I have spoken with your relatives. They tell me that a man attacked Dudley and seemed very interested in you. This could be another trick by Voldemort. Please return to Hogwarts as soon as possible. I only have your best interests at heart. I am sending this by owl in the hopes that it will reach you.
Attached is a necklace must I insist you wear. It should protect you if you are not following your Occulmency as you should.

News article taken from the local weekly newspaper The Surrey Bugle
14th September ed.
Due to the unexplained explosion in the local Post Office depot, a large amount of mail was destroyed. The Post Office have offered their most sincere apologies and are investigating the situation, with a possibility of compensation. The Fire Brigade have investigated and state a small object inside one of the stored P.O. Boxes appears to have started the blaze.
Mrs Fliss from no. 97 across the road from the depot said, ‘I’d never heard such a loud bang before in my life, I was just looking out my living room window, when it was like something pulled the air, and then – BOOM! Fire and smoke everywhere.’

FAO Mr. H. J. Potter.
Sir,
Due to an unexplained explosive device in one of the packages received by the Post Office where your mail is collected, I regret to inform you that a number of packages were destroyed on the night of 8th
September. Due to the nature of the package and that you were the
intended recipient; there will be no compensation for the destruction
of your other property.
The Royal Mail would like to take this opportunity to request that any future packages containing the aforementioned device not be sent to your P.O. Box.
Please address all queries in regards to this or any other matter to myself.

Dear Harry,
It’s been over a month since you didn’t come back to school and things
have started to settle down. Ginny and Hermione seem to have stopped
writing to you every week, and I think Ron has done the same after
you never answered.
I expect you didn’t think to hear from me – but I just wanted to say
thanks for everything you did last year. Hope your training is going
well.
Neville.

Hmm. There was going to be a lot less than that!
