Think of all the luck you got
Know that it's not for naught
You were beaming once before
But it's not like that
Anymore
July, 1976

Dear Barty,

I hope your summer is going well.

I just found out my family is going to back to France for a week! I wish you could come. Evan really wants to see you. It's depressing. He's moping around the manor doing absolutely nothing.

I'll continue to send you letters whilst we're gone. Please send a reply! I'd really like to know how you're doing.

Love ya dude xx

Dear Panda,

My summer is shit.

Glad to hear you're going back to France. Bring me home a fancy baguette! I really wanna see Evan too. I hate to think that he's upset and I can't help him. Could you tell him I miss him?

Send me one of those muggle Polaroid photos!

Love you too

Dear Barty,

What's going on dude? How's life?

Evan owled me from France. He really misses you. You should try to shoot him a letter.

I'll try to send you another letter soon. Mum says the family owl isn't doing well. I think that's bullshit. Pearl is fine.

Love you loser

Dear Cassie,

Life sucks ass, dad sucks ass, y'know, the usual.

I miss Evan too. Like everything sucks with him not here.

Pearl is so young, that owl isn't going anywhere. Tell your mum to go fuck herself.

Love you too asshat

Dear Barty,

Hope your summer is going well. Mines not. Sirius left home last night. I don't know what do do. He just left in the middle of the night, and didn't even say goodbye. He just left a note on my nightstand that read 'Sorry Reg. Gone to live with the Potters. See you at Hogwarts'. He's such an asshole.

Evan misses you. My parents are holding the annual summer dinner next month. Hopefully you can come this year. I know the Rosiers are coming.

Hopefully I'll see you soon

Dear Regulus,

That really sucks about your brother. I hope all turns out okay. D'you want me to kick his ass for you?

I'm going to the dinner. My parents have been keeping such a close eye on me this summer, it's ridiculous.

See you soon, mate

Ps.
There's no need for the extremely formal signing off

Dear Evan,

How's your summer so far? Are you safe? Hope to see you soon.
