Minerva had never been close to Sibyll Trelawney, but the woman had been so poorly treated by Dolores Umbridge, she could not help but to take the woman under her wing after that difficult time. News that she was alive and seen around Stoatshead pleased her no end. Any good news was wonderful, and it seemed that every day there was more and more news and people filtering into town.
Dearest Sibyll,
I have it on good authority that you have been seen in Stoatshead Hill, which is lovely news, as I have also been here these past few months.
I would dearly love to see you and say hello, and to catch up. I'm afraid my resources are somewhat limited, and I can only offer tea that the Muggles prepare in little bags. Unfortunately we will be unable to read our tea leaves, but I can offer you my company in its stead.
Do let me know when you are available for tea. Any afternoon this week is perfectly fine. Now that the war is over, my duties with the Order are no longer my main priority, and with no classes or homework to provide me with any other diversions, I am seeking to catch up with dear old friends.
It has been far too long since I saw you last, Sibyll and I am eager to hear all about your future plans.
Yours,
Minerva

She was about to put down her quill, when she quickly realised there was one more invitation she needed to write
Dearest Hagrid,
I saw your arrival the other day, and I do hope that the beasties are settling in well in the forest. When you have time, please do drop around for a nice big cup of tea. It has been too long since we last spoke, and now that my Order duties are lessening, I find I have time to entertain old friends.
Let me know when you are free for tea.
Yours,
Minerva
