Fic: Dear Hermione pt 4
a little pt also I don't own Harry Potter :)
Dear Hermione
This is my last letter before I go back to Hogwarts. I'll only be able to send letters when I can leave school rather than send them to Mrs Tonks to be mailed. The interest in me has not died down and I won't risk them getting intercepted.
I've sent a book in a separate package as lady in the post office said it would take longer to get there. I bought a pre-made house. The salesman offered a care and maintenance book with it, so I bought a copy for you as well. The house is three bedrooms, two baths. This way Teddy can have his own room and I can still have a guest room. Now before you blow up the house has a loft room the salesman said could be used as a home office or work room. I've made an elf loft. I told Winky to divide it up however she wanted. She was very pleased with the space.
Runt and I will be dismantling part of the third greenhouse as it is damaged to much for use and adding a sun-room to the house with the undamaged panels. You can read all about adding rooms in the book I sent.
You've probably noticed the enclose newspaper articles. As you know I don't take the paper so I didn't know anything about it until I was already in the Alley at the house shop. I pick out what I wanted and ask to charge it to my vault. The salesman looked embarrassed and said he didn't think he could do that under the circumstances. Then he had to show me the Prophet article.
I know it had to be Molly or Ginny that told the paper I was broke. Now you have to understand that I had a bank draft for the purchase of Grimmauld place in my pocket for quite a bit more than the house I wanted but that need to go into a trust for Teddy. I told the fellow I'd be back with a draft and went to Gringotts. I figured the goblins would gouge me for the draft but it had to be done. I really couldn't have timed it better. Gringotts was a mad house, people demanding their money and the goblins had shut down the teller windows. Apparently most people felt that the goblins had either stolen from me or allowed someone else to steal from me.
As I walked into Gringotts everyone went silent and then some reporter started in. As you can see by the second article it was all resolved but I really don't like personal questions. I also feel like I took advantage of the goblins, not that they don't deserve it but, well, you know. I got a good deal on Teddy's trust, my account is back to its lower fees and I'm a favorite client again. The wizarding public believes Gringotts is safe.
On another topic you didn't say how you were feeling in your last letter, did you see the healer? I worry about you Hermione. Especially since I can't just pop over and check on you. You tend to over work if I don't keep an eye on you, you know.
Mr Maxwell, the grocer I'm working for says I'm welcome to come back in the spring. It's nice knowing I have a job waiting for me. Kingsley is still after me to join the Aurors. Oh and I forgot to tell you but I got an offer to try out for a profession quidditch team. I wrote back that I was returning to Hogwarts so maybe in the spring, but I don't think I'm really interested in playing for the Chudley Cannons.
I really am nervous about Hogwarts, I wish more that anything that you were going back with me. I miss you Hermione. I'm thinking about coming there for Christmas if you want me to. Let me know so I can make plans.
Love Harry
