Katie, I got an application for Auror training for you from the Ministry. I thought it was the least I could do, since your exams are coming up and all. I already filled out the reccommendation portion of it, so don't worry, I put a good word in for you. I hope it helps! I've sent it by owl already; you should be getting it sometime soon today.
I need to pick something up for my Dad during the Hogsmeade visit....I love my dad; he's a truly great person, even though he is a Muggle. I really want to get him something nice. He didn't freak out when he found out his wife was a witch, or that his daughter not only was a witch too but could change her appearance at will. He's done so much for me. He was the one who helped me train for my Auror exams while my mum was too busy at her store in Diagon Alley (which sells potions; she's a big potions person). Any suggestions on what to get him?
Give your father my regards on father's day, and tell your mum that Andromeda wants to know if she can drop by your Manor for a cup of tea. Apparently she wants to just talk to your mum, find out how she's doing, etc. Well, just pass that message on for me, if you wouldn't mind? Oh, tell Aunt Narcissa I said hello, too.
Hum. Better get back to my rounds; boy do you guys study really hard! I'm impressed.
Sirius never studied, from what I remember when I was little. He'd just joke around with James, Peter, and Remus. Oh god. I remember, when Sirius got out of Azkaban, he'd tease me so much because I liked Remus. Say things about how much I liked animal magnetism, or that I really must be wild at heart.....stuff like that.
I really miss him. He was like a big brother to me, even when he was placed in Azkaban. My mum would take me to see him every month when they let visitors come. Me and my mum were the only ones who came to visit him. He looked awful...I can still remember the Dementors, too, standing outside the doors, watching our every move. My mum always knew he was innocent. And I believed her. It all made sense once Remus and Sirius told me their story. I was so happy when I learned he had gotten out.
When he got in contact with me, I felt happier than I had in years. I remember how my mum gave me the key she had to the Black's home, and how he just showed up one day. So we stayed together in that house for a little while, after Harry's fourth year, if I remember correctly. He was there when I was sad, comforting me in his dog form. I don't know. I really miss him. When I saw him go through the veil, I felt like a peice of me died. Damn....I've got to stop writing before I start crying. I don't want to think about it.
