Harry Werther

Good afternoon, Mr. Malfoy!
Dear Mr. Malfoy!

I'm sorry that I'm only now getting to keep my promise. I really would have liked to write to you earlier. .Unfortunately that was not possible because of the school, we all do not get much else than studying.
I hope you are well and enjoy the following lines.

.Before I begin, I have to point out something important to you: All of my friends are at Hogwarts, as are my parents. I get on very well with Percy, but we always send him greetings through his siblings. .and mysticism cannot read.
All I want to say is that I have no experience writing letters. So please don't be surprised if this one turns out to be very bumpy. .You can already see that in the greeting, I don't even know how to address you correctly, or rather, how to write to you.
I asked Dad, proper letter writing comes much later in class. .apparently the company does not place great emphasis on formal correspondence.
Please do not be angry.

So where do i start?
.oh yeah, the day after your visit I went to a clearing that dad showed us when I was third year. We discussed our wormtail plans there.
.it is at the beginning of the forbidden forest and is absolutely safe for students, but you have to share the space with centaurs. They don't always come, but they use the pond to see into the future. .I would like to be able to do that too. Unfortunately we have an absolutely incompetent teacher.
Can you see it? I'm already digressing, that's bad. Writing letters is not as easy as I thought.
Where was I? .at the clearing, exactly.
When Sev showed us the place, Remus asked him if my dad had taken his dates there when he was at school. At the time, Severus gave a very ambiguous answer. .That was funny at the time, but nobody makes fun of it anymore, the reason is Sirius.
My godfather and father is unlikely to be attached to Dad, well, me too, so I can understand him. .but whenever Siri hears something about this clearing, even if it's just that I say I go there, he gets really weird. What does funny mean? Jealous is better. .he begins to silently curse each of his former schoolmates. Once he even said that if he found out who had disappeared into the forest with his husband, then he would erase that person's memory.
.the man can be incredibly possessive. But I suspect he's worried. For everyone else, I would describe the behavior as fear, but Sirius unfortunately cannot feel it. .He can certainly worry that Sev will leave him at some point and maybe take me with him. That damn Azkaban did a great deal of damage. This is not a prison but a pure island of torture.
.actually something needs to be changed urgently. But how else are you supposed to hold onto wizards and witches? This is difficult. Still, they need social contact and investigation.

.I've wandered off again, I suppose that will happen more often, I hope you don't mind long letters.

Well, so I went to the clearing, I always do that when I want to think. .You're never alone in the castle and when I go to my fathers and crawl into my room, they both start to worry again. Especially Sirius.
Severus knows that the clearing is my retreat. .but the place is also beautiful.
In any case, I was sitting there in the grass and watching the fish in the pond and playing with Beast and Oskar when I noticed a shadow over me.
.at first I assumed it was a centaur, but I was far wrong with this assumption. It was a sphinx. To be precise, it was the lady who wanted to ask her riddles in the labyrinth.
.I don't know what her name is, she'll only tell me if I guess. So it will be an eternity before I can address them properly. By the way, the good guy thinks it's very funny that I'm not good at guessing games.
.luckily it has nothing in common with the sphinx that ate people in ancient Greece. Or did she push her victims into an abyss and then jump herself when they solved her riddle? .I don't know anymore, there are different versions.

In any case, we talked for a long time. She not only loves puzzles but also stories. And I had a lot to report from school and the magical world.
.meanwhile this is my method of consolidating what I have learned, I tell the Sphinx and hope that she understands. Not because it would be stupid, but because it enables me to determine whether I have understood everything myself. .that really helps me a lot.
Of course I told my friends and fathers about her and sometimes they come to the clearing to see her and talk to her.
.luna even drew the creature, I enclosed a copy of it with the letter. And no, actually the good girl doesn't wear glasses. That's Luna’s sense of humor.
