A Letter to Remus
Moonpie,
Or should I call you “friend abandoner”? Because you’ve just left me here with Sirius for the whole holiday! It’s usually fine in the summer because we spend most of the time in our house in London but you know we stay in Kent for Easter! And you know how Padfoot gets when he has nothing to occupy his time with. I think he might actually explode. And normally he’d just take out his pranking on you but now I’m the one who has to take the hexes! It’s not fair!
I forgive you though, because you’re going to be my spy while you’re at Cora’s. I heard that Henrik fellow is going to be staying with her (don’t ask how I know, I just do) and I want you to keep an eye on him. I don’t trust that Icelandic bloke and now that she knows he’s a wizard, I trust him even less. Also, try to find out who the bloke she almost kissed was. I asked Mary to tell me but she hasn’t yet.
Dad’s been an absolute arse lately. I’m debating on charming all of his dress robes into a bright fuchsia color just to spite him. Apparently I’m “irresponsible” and “embarrassing him in the Ministry with my immaturity.” Honestly, I think he’s just mad because he has to go to work while I get to sleep all day.
Remember to watch out for the Icelandic wizard.

Prongsie,
Don't call me that, or moonpie for that matter. Sirius was invited and so were you for that matter you jerk. You two had the option to be here, Sirius was all for it too, so you can take that up with him. I've written him a letter as well telling him to leave you alone before you hurt him. I apologize you're taking the hexes for me. I'm sure you're both still welcome here at the Carrigan's. We're having fun.
I am not going to be your spy. Henrik is nothing but a pleasant fellow, though he does have a funny accent. Why don't you trust him? What has he ever done to you? You don't know him. You're so jumpy sometimes I wonder about you. I also will not be finding out who Cora almost kissed. That point is that she didn't, isn't that good enough? Goodness Potter, grow a pair.
I'm sure that your father is being pleasant and you're just to thick to understand. Do not anger him you know that he will take away your wand and then what will you have to do in the house? Nothing, the answer is nothing, stop trying to come up with alternatives. Please go outside and take out your pent up Kent frustrations in the woods, do not by any means try to sneak to London with Sirius. You two will only get caught and your father will be more disappointed.
Please behave. Merlin, why did I leave you two alone?
