To: Sirius
From: Harry
Dear Sirius,
Thanks for your last letter. That bird was enormous; it could hardly get through my window.
Things are the same as usual here. Dudley's diet isn't ging too well. My aunt found him snuggling doughnuts into his room
yesterday. They told him they'd have to cut his pocket money if he keeps doing it, so he got really angry and chucked his
PlayStation out of the wndow. That's a sort of computer thing you can play games on. Bit stupid really, now he hasn't even
got Maga-Mutilation Part Three to take his mind off things.
I'm okay, mainly because the Dursleys are terrified you'll show up and turn them
all into bats if I ask you to.
A weird thing happened this morning, though. My scar hurt again. Last time that
happened it was because Voldemort was at Hogwarts. But I don't reckon he can be anywhere near me now, can he? Do you know
if curse scars sometimes hurt years afterward?
I'll send this with Hedwig when she gets back; she's off hunting at the moment. Say
hello to Buckbeak for me.
Harry
If you want to contact me, I'll be at my friend Ron Weasley's for the rest of the summer. His dad's
got us tickets for the Quidditch World Cup!
To : Mr. and Mrs. Dursley
From: Molly Weasley
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Dursley,
We never have been introduced, but I'm sure you've heard
a great deal from Harry about my son Ron.
As Harry might have told you, the final of the Quidditch World Cup takes place
this Monday night, and my husband, Arthur, has just managed to get prime tickets through his connections at the Department
of Magical Games and Sports.
I do hope that you will allow us to take Harry to the match, as this really is
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; Britain hasn't hosted the Cup for nearly thirty years, and tickets are extremely hard to
come by. We would of course be glad to have Harry stay for the remainder of the summer holidays, and see him safely
onto the train back to school.
It would be best for Harry to send your answer as quickly as possible in
the normal way, because the Muggle postman has never delivered to our house, and I am not sure he even knows where it is.
Hoping to see Harry soon,
Yours sincerely,
Molly Weasley
P.S. I do hope we've put enough stamps on.
