Dear Blaise,

I hope you have been quite well and have not been worrying over your wedding. I'm sure everything will work out in the end and that Draco is quite safe. As for me, I miss Hermione awfully- she was supposed to spend part of the holidays with Ron and I at The Burrow. We were going to take Ron and Ginny to visit parts of the muggle world they had never seen before. I tried to bring them on my own but we kept thinking about her so in the end, we just ended up staying at home.

I managed to teach Ron how to use a computer. I brought my lap-top computer along to The Burrow and the Weasleys were fascinated by it. Do you know what a computer is? It's a kind of electrical box with words that can appear on the screen and there is a place where you can press in words to spell them out. You can also play games on it. Not like Quidditch, but moving-picture games like Quake and Warhammer.

In the end, I had to teach Mr Weasley how to use it too. He kept begging me too and was really keen…actually, he's much better at it than Ron! Ron keeps getting all the keys muddled up. Mr Weasley's going to buy one for The Burrow now. I don't think Mrs Weasley's all that pleased, they cost hundreds of galleons. Mine was Dudley's (that's my cousin) old one so it was free.

I went to watch Ron at a few practices. He's really good but you should see the other England players. The coach tried to get me to sign on as keeper but I told him I already had another job.

Am I boring you? Maybe I should stop here. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Ministry. I know you're going to be working in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creature. I'm going to be in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement so maybe we can have lunch sometime? I start July 18. When do you start? Look after yourself and do write back soon.

Regards,

Harry

PS: Ginny has an extra ticket to Celestina Warbeck's concert on July 12 and asks if you would like to go with her. I can't stand Celestina Warbeck, unfortunately!
