Dear Moony,

I hope you'll excuse my language, but fuck Dumbledore. I'll go quickly insane if I have to put up with these twins without any word from you. And I'm so sorry I couldn't make the full moon, I hope Prongs and Wormtail showed up. Are you feeling ok now? Make sure you go to Lily if you're not feeling well. And I hope Harry's alright too, Merlin I hate being away.

On a lighter note, Fabian found something rather unexpected today (I'm not allowed to say what though) which apparently means we'll get to head home early! I will ply you with chocolate and um…various other things on your sick bed yet! And I started reading that book you gave me ('The Lord of the Rings' is it?), what the hell are hobbits? And they've got wizards completely wrong too - though the grey one does kind of remind me of Dumbledore. I don't know what kind of books you read Moony, for all we're trying to save their lives and protect their rights, these Muggles do have an odd way of looking at things.

Can't wait to see you again,

Padfoot
