Winter Holiday Letters.

Sent & Received

Late December, 1977.

P,

First note, a quick scribble

My test to see if this works

This is just to say

I already miss you fiercely

How's home?

The P's for Princess, by the way

Yours,

R.A.B.


R,

Home's lovely, family's lovely

Though I miss you just as much, R

... It's quiet here, out in the country

How about you? Home?

Oh! I found that book

The one with Van Gogh and the rest

I'll bring it back to school with me

To give you

Sincerely,

Y/N


P,

Things here are, as always,

Complicated

... Too much to explain here

When we're together again, I'll fill you in

Suffice it to say life at 12 Grimmauld

Never dull, rather unrelenting

Though Kreacher's overjoyed at my return

The instant I walked through the door,

The little elf threw his arms around my legs

And wouldn't leave my side the rest of the afternoon

Can't wait to read the book, P

Can't wait to hear from you, P

But above all else, counting days till I see you again, P

Yours,

R.A.B.


P,

In my rush to send my last message, forgot to mention -

... Guess who's coming to visit tomorrow?

Yours,

R.A.B.


R,

A certain blond wizard?

- Y/N


P,

Over here smiling at the way with which

You replied so instantly just now

And yes, E

- R.A.B.


R,

Just stealing a quick second

To wish you a good morning

And a Happy Christmas

- Y/N


P,

Good morning & Happy Christmas -

Oh, I miss you today

Miss you with an indescribable sharpness

E's here now

It's obvious he misses you too -

Though he's E, so when I asked him

If I should pass along a message to you

He merely winked

Yours,

R.A.B.


... Hi, you

- E.A.R.


Seriously?!

-Y/N


Why, flustered?

- E.A.R.


You wish!

- Y/N


Of course I do

These days, feels as though

My constant aim's become your fluster

- E.A.R.


... And why's that?

- Y/N


Because you're gorgeous flustered

- E.A.R.


...

- Y/N


It's the truth.

- E.A.R.


So, what then - did you wrestle the box

From R's hands?

- Y/N


Hardly;

He's gone downstairs for a moment, though

And naturally, I couldn't resist writing you ...

- E.A.R.


Naturally

- Y/N


Mmmhm

- E.A.R.


... So what's the A stand for, then?

-Y/N
