I'm in a guest room down one floor on the same floor as her parents' master bedroom. Yes, I have my own ensuite, too. It's not as big as Hermione's, of course, but I'd say it would be about three-quarters of the size of our dorm. So, to me, it's huge!
Hermione's parents, Wendell and Monica, are wonderful people. They've made me feel completely welcome. But they do ask a lot of questions. I think that's where Hermione gets it from.
Both are what are known in the muggle world as dental surgeons. That means they are Healers who focus pretty much entirely on fixing teeth - there are no teeth repair potions in the muggle world. But, I've also found out they have 'after hours' jobs as well.
Wendell is what is known as a Justice of Peace. That means he can make decisions of a legal nature. He is something like a Chief Adjudicator, but only for cases where the punishment does not exceed a fine or six months imprisonment. Anything requiring more punishment than that he has to refer on to a higher court.
And Monica is a Commissioner of Declarations, which means she can sign and or witness legal documents that require someone 'of good standing' to sign or witness. That then makes the document an 'official' document as it pertains to muggle law.
As for me, I'm really enjoying it here. I've never felt so relaxed living in someone's home. And I'm including The Burrow in that.
I hope, for your sake, your grandmother allowed you to return back to Longbottom Hall for the duration of the school being closed. Which is why I've addressed this to Longbottom Hall, even though I know Hedwig will find you no matter where you are, and have not been made you stay at Hogwarts. That would suck without everyone there or something to do.
If not and you're bored out of your mind, as a suggestion only you might want to ask Professor Sprout, now that she's been released by the DMLE to return to the school, if you can help her out in the greenhouses. I know you love that sort of thing and she might like the company.
Hoping you are well,
Your Friend,

Again checking it over to make sure he made no mistakes, he grinned in pleasure and signed it simply 'Harry P'. It was quite a long letter and he hadn't meant to write it so long. But, once he started, felt like writing as much as he did. The previous couple of days had been full of new things, so he had quite a bit he could write about.
Once done he'd send it once Hedwig got back.
Sitting there for a little while he then thought about to whom else he could write.
That's when he had a thought. He really needed his own law-wizard and he only knew of one. And, since he was 'family', thought to write to him to ask him to take the job as his law-wizard; or recommend someone else.

Mister Edward Tonks
Law-wizard
.
Mister Tonks (or should I be addressing you as Law-wizard Tonks?),
I found myself quite impressed with how you defended the case of my godfather, Sirius Black, in his trial a few days ago. It was also impressed upon me that I may very well need to retain a law-wizard myself.
As well as being my godfather's law-wizard of choice, I ask that you also consider to be mine.
I have no idea if I have one already or not and, if I do, then they haven't done a decent job of letting me know that. So, if you consent to be my law-wizard of choice - or whatever the title would be - then your first job will be to fire whoever it is.
If you do not believe you will be able to be my law-wizard due to some conflict of interest or some other such legal requirement, I ask that you help me out by letting me know of other law-wizards that you trust and who could do the job.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration of my request,
.

Harry didn't know the man's address other than Sirius said 'the Tonkses' place' whenever he mentioned them. So, knowing Hedwig would be able to find him no matter the address, he left it blank.
'No, hang on,' he thought, giving himself a mental face palming. 'I can ask Sirius via the mirrors'.
Setting the letter aside, he collected the mirror from where he left it downstairs on the coffee table in the parlour and returned with it to his room.
Sitting back at the desk he held it in his offhand and whispered across it, "Padfoot". Then waited.
A few seconds later the mirror blurred for a moment before Sirius's smiling face appeared. "Miss me already?" he asked.
"I have a couple of questions for you," said Harry
"Cast," replied his godfather. That was the wizarding world version of 'Shoot'.
"Firstly, do you know if the House of Potter has a law-wizard of choice?" he asked.
Sirius immediately frowned in confusion for a moment as his eyes seemed to lose focus. Snapping back he replied, "They must have. All Houses at our level do. However, I cannot for the life of me remember who it was. Secondly, the official term is 'Law-wizard of Record'."
"Well, it doesn't matter who it was," said Harry. "Whoever it was is soon to be fired, anyway."
"Probably wise," said Sirius.
"Next, is Mister... is Ted Tonks now your law-wizard of choice... of Record, I mean?" he asked.
"Yes, actually," replied Sirius. "He agreed to that a couple days ago."
