2nd July 1992

Dear Ben,

I know it's been less than a week, but I was wondering how you are. I hope your parents aren't too mad at you, and that you are okay.

Well, I need to go. Percy is yelling at me for some reason I'm not aware of, I hope Fred and George didn't blame me for their latest prank.

See you soon!

Ron.

Dear Ben,

How is your summer so far? Mine is quite nice, for now.

My parents said that we would go on Holidays to France this summer, but apparently they have a lot of work to do in the clinic, so they told me we'll go next year. I guess being a dentist keeps you very busy.

Best,

Hermione.

Dear Ben,

How are you? I hope you're doing great. Are you going anywhere this summer?

My parents and I are going to Spain next week, and I'm very excited! We're not going to visit the South of it, because my parents have already been there and they said they wanted to see new places. So we're going to the North, and it really looks beautiful.

Cheers,

Cedric.

Hello Ben,

Not trying to be annoying, but Hermione told me she's tried to talk to you too, but you aren't answering the letters.

It's fine if you don't have time to do it, but please just tell us if something's wrong, we're getting worried.

Harry isn't answering any letter either, has he talked to you?

Best wishes,

Ron.

Dear Ben,

Are you alright? Ron and I really don't want to bother you, but we are honestly very worried about you and Harry.

Please answer soon,

Hermione.

My parents said you can come over if something happened, just please send us an owl back.

Ron.

I caught my father burning a stack of letters. I don't know who they were from or what was written on them, but if one of them was yours I'm so sorry for not answering.

My parents won't let me use the family owl, so Audrey had to lend me hers to send this letter.

Please, when you receive this, tell Ron and Hermione that I'm fine but I can't reply to their letters.

By the way, happy birthday in advance, although maybe I'm lucky and it arrives tomorrow. I hope you have a wonderful day, and I'm so sorry for not being able to get you anything.

Best wishes,

Ben Walker.
