Dear the boy who's got his last exam,

Hopefully you get this by the time you sit your History of Magic exam. With the inconsistency of owl post though, I'm not sure whether this will arrive too late.

Dumbledore could have fought harder against Umbridge being appointed at Hogwarts and as for Snape, as soon as Dumbledore learned of how Snape treats his students he should have fired him. Dumbledore knows a lot that goes on at Hogwarts, I'm almost certain that he knows how Snape treats everyone which is honestly appalling. I know Dumbledore has done a lot of great things in his life, including all he has done for you and I know that you think very highly of him, but he is a very flawed man, and he definitely doesn't always have his priorities in the right place.

I've definitely done myself proud with these exams, I know I'm not finished yet and I don't want to jinx myself but I'm very proud of myself. And depending on whether this letter arrives in time or not, you might have finished your History of Magic exam, if not you're very close to sitting it. You should be proud of yourself too for getting through them, especially with everything else going on in your life.

Yes I think the exams in the muggle world are spread out more than in the wizarding world. I only had one exam yesterday but tomorrow I have two. It doesn't make sense to me, to be honest.

I never had the privilege of knowing your parents, I only know bits and pieces you have told me, or some of the Order members have told me, so honestly I really don't know if you are anything like your parents, but I think you have both your mother and father mixed into your personality. I mean I know I've never heard it spoken, but to put up with Prongs, your mother must have been a bit of a troublemaker herself, or if not she must have had one hell of a sense of humor to put up with you father.

Thank you Harry for the reassurance, I'm glad to hear you don't think I've changed. I asked about it to the Order members too and they all agree and say that I've just matured slightly but I haven't changed much. I'm glad to hear I haven't been acting any differently, but the stuff in my head is definitely a lot more cynical.

Only a week and half left for me and my exams are over. Thank Merlin!

Good luck for History of Magic and whatever you do, try not to fall asleep Harry. It'll be only something that would happen to you. I know how it is when you find something boring, but fight against the tiredness. I'd hate to sound like Hermione but this is an exam. Anyway good luck, if you do happen to fall asleep then let's pray you wake up in time to scribble a few answers on your exam paper.

Love,

the girl who hopes you stay awake.

(Because its Harry's birthday. Happy birthday Hazza.)
