To my dearest friend Albus,
I apologize for not writing you sooner, but the beginnings of my first terms as Headmistress has been quite stressful. I hope you are doing well and enjoying you well earned retirement.
Things are going well for my first term in your shoes. Enrollment's up and after the battle two years ago at least in Magical Community people are starting to see Mutants more as equals then monstrosities. A lot has happened since your retirement Professor. Ron has really come out on his own you see? He has moved to America and Captain America and surprisingly my clone Sinistra, or rather Cynthia Granger as she prefers to be called, have help healed the wounds left in Jubilee's absence. He served the world as a member of the Avengers for a time, and has broken out as a solo hero and reserve Avenger.
Ginny and Draco are getting along as expected. Dating one week, broken up the next, repeat. Such examples for their students, these professors are.
Harry and I are doing well, our relationship has recovered and stronger then ever before. Harry shares my load as he is the head of the Xavier Institute on campus here and I listen to his troubles and thoughts when working with his adopted father and Professor Xavier upon building a local X-Men team here. Harry Scott and Professor Xavier all seem happy with the line up for what the students here have come to call Harry Potter's X-Men or the HPX team for short. Harry, or excuse me Mage as team leader, Nightcrawler as his second, followed by Draco AKA Dark Angel, Shadowcat, Magik, Colossus, my "beastly" Uncle Hank, and my "sister" Cynthia make an excellent team in my eyes as well.
Harry is doing well personally as well. I'm quite delighted in the family he has gained. He has me of course, and Scott and Jean have recently given birth to Lily Rachel Summers, a beautiful little redhead at six pounds eight ounces in American weight, whatever that is in our measurements scale. Harry has been bouncing off the walls at the concept of being a big brother to Lily. Also he and his natural father Logan have developed a strong bond. I'd be bold enough to say for the first time since I've known him Harry's truly … happy.
You needn't worry about the school, Albus, yes we've had a few threats since you've retired, some minor, others close to Tom Riddle's level. But either case, whenever a threat to anyone especially the student body of New Hogwarts came about, the X-Men are there to defer it. I hope to hear from you soon, Albus, and that Harry and I are making you proud with our leadership.
Sincerely,
Professor Hermione Granger
Headmistress of New Hogwarts
