Congratulations on your coming of age. I wish so much that I could be there with you to help celebrate, but since I can't, I hereby delegate our friends at Hogwarts to do it for me.

Take good care of her today, all of you.

Thanks, Terry!

It feels so strange to not be able to use the other lock anymore.

Thanks for doing everything.

And look! I know it's silly to be so excited over something so simple but I CAN POST PRIVATE MESSAGES THANKS TO HARRY!

Which means I can write to you and Pansy or Justin and Hydra or just Tonks or Tonks and Mrs Longbottom or--well, anyone!

Isn't that...brilliant?

I know, I know, you lot are used to it. But it's just the best thing.

Okay, this is really brilliant. I didn't even know he COULD do that -- I mean in Terry's case Carrow died. I didn't realise it was something Harry could just do.

Happy birthday, dear Hermione.

Oh my, Arthur would have been so proud of you on this day. We are all exceedingly proud of you. All our love from the Weasleys. Including Arthur's.

I just have to test this with someone who'll understand.

Look!

No '(and Harry)' required!

I think. That is, if it worked. Did it work?

It's really much simpler than you might expect: Harry gave me an official letter stating that I'm no longer in service to him, or to anyone else.

Actually he was very sweet about it. I'm so proud of him for thinking of it.

I guess he could have done it anytime, but he was afraid someone important might notice. But...it's so important. And I'm sure he wasn't sure how I'd feel about it. But how could I not be pleased? And happy that he thought of it. Mostly on his own, even.

And I suppose I could have asked before now, but--well, it just didn't seem right. To ask. Somehow. I mean...on the one hand, it probably should have been obvious but on the other, it wasn't like Harry was ever mean or bad and it was just sort of the way things were, you know? But it means so much to have it be real. Really real.

We'll still have to pretend otherwise, in front of people. And Harry wanted to write it in the journals to make sure it would work but I told him that might make trouble.

But I'm free where it counts. Really free.

It works perfectly!

But now people will have to remember to add you on when they're writing where anyone could see.

Not that they will. I mean, most everyone writes me under the Order lock, anyway.

You can go on using the ISS, you know. I don't mind. I think it's brilliant that Fred and George made it up and I think it's a shame to waste it. Evelyn might have mates she wants to include, or Luna, or someone else.
