Albus--
Well. Here we are again. Eight years now?
The Voldemort brat wrote me declaring his oncoming glorious rule, etcetera, ad nauseum.
I'm still not sure whether I remember, to be fair.
Continuing to explore Muggle literature. Romantic poets dull. Tolkien entertaining. Lichen flourishing. You are a right bastard, but I'd rather go back to marriage by owl than never hear from you again.

Gellert--
Voldemort--that proved both alarming and most useful. I am not precisely sure how to thank you. We hadn't seen a peep of him for years--he's been operating so far underground--but I started watching the signs again--
But did you ever forget at all, I wonder? Or were you setting me up to lie to you, as you guessed so well I might?
I was young, and foolish, and affectionate, caught up in your brilliance, and very much in lust. I cannot say whether I spoke the truth then either.
I cannot think what else to say to you. The Voldemort situation may become crucial soon, and i do not know how much time I might have. But, Gellert, please believe you are free to owl me at any time.
