Wednesday afternoon

It is getting harder and harder to find a good place to go flying in the daytime. I ended up Apparating to the middle of nowhere and spending half an hour checking the area before I felt comfortable really letting go. But it was worth it

Oh, Harry. There's a fantastic place out in Cornwall. Remember me mentioning that family dog thing? Well, there's a farm out there with an old Muggle couple whose son came over to the Wizarding side. They've got a good 40 acres of light woods that's just dreamy to run through. I'll take you out there, and you can fly while I run.

That sounds ideal! Maybe we could pack a lunch and go on Sunday. Or whenever. My schedule's pretty free.

[sirius_blackdog]

They're used to owls since their son is now working in China, so I'll owl them and see if we can't set up some time. Shall we invite others?
Um... I was thinking perhaps...
...oh, I don't know...

We'll...

... we can talk about it tomorrow afternoon. right?

[potter_harry_j]

Others, sure, though if no one else can make it I won't be too terribly disappointed. Padfoot is great company.

You were thinking...? Please don't say Snape. Yeah, we'll figure it out tomorrow.

[sirius_blackdog]

Well, I thought it would be kind to invite at least Hermione and Ron - and perhaps one or two of my old friends, as well.

I have so few friends left, Harry. I know that's pretty common for men of my age. But it's still discouraging to think of how much I lost from being away for so many years.

I really miss James. More than you could ever know.

[potter_harry_j]

I'm sorry, Sirius. Of course you can invite anyone you want. Just be sure to tell - ah - whoever - that I'll be there too. With luck, Snape won't want to come within ten miles of me.

Oh, and Ron and Hermione - that reminds me of something else I want to talk to you about. It can wait, though.

[sirius_blackdog]

I have to run off to class.

Dobby's still here, why don't you say hi to him. He misses you.

[potter_harry_j]

Oh, of course I want to say hi to Dobby! I think it's great that you're taking care of Sirius - he needs it. And I'll see so much more of you when you are both down in London.

And if Sirius dresses up funny again, you be sure to sketch it for me, yeah?

[sirius_blackdog]

Oh, Of course, Dobby will! It isn't funny, Harry Potter. It's most elegant - even more elegant than Dobby's former masters.

Dobby found some papers with Mister Harry Potter's father's writing on them, and sent them through the Muggle Machine. Dobby hopes they help Mister Harry Potter feel better.
