The Letter

Chapter1

It was a hot afternoon and Hermione Granger just finished her Arithmancy class and was late for her date with her best friends and Hagrid. She was feeling a little parched and stirred away from the direction to Hagrid's hut towards deep within the castle and into the kitchen for a cold pumpkin juice.

Feeling a little bit better, she found herself making petty excuses for her tardiness on the way back to her original destination. She was a keen observant and noticed a piece of parchment paper lying on top of a rock. "Bloody first years!" blaming the students nearby. "Why don't they learn to pick up their trash?" she continued mumbling until a light of gold shone from the parchment and magically wrote…

Hermione Granger… a stupid MUDBLOOD who thinks she knows everything!

Just like a flash, the words disappeared as soon as she read them.

Her first reaction was to tear the letter into many pieces and then obliterate it… but her other instinct got the better of her. She drew out her wand, tapped the parchment, and whispered a few words. She then took out her quill and started writing on the parchment as well.

How nice of you to notice someone like me. You had just spent your time planning this just for me meaning you really care about me.

She smiled and put the parchment back on top of the rock. Before she could walk away, the parchment lit up once again.

Not bad for a mudblood… although you must be really stupid to think that I care for you, and you call yourself Head Girl…

Hermione could not help but smile. She was getting the reaction she wanted. Why waste energy on something she knew was a lie. Being nice to whoever was writing to her was apparently getting on the person's nerves.

Just as she was about to write back, Ron came running to meet her. "Bloody hell Hermione, where have you been? We have been eating your share of those hard things that Hagrid likes to call food. It gave new meaning to 'more for us'."

Hermione almost laughed but managed to keep her mouth shut.

"Go on and laugh, Harry's looking green with all the stuff he has been forced to eat."

"And you being the Good Samaritan that you are left him to save yourself." Hermione mocked.

"I was merely trying to relieve myself… and call for reinforcements." He added with a sly grin on his face. "Anyway, I think I'm allergic to that batch…" Ron mumbled the last words when the parchment glowed once again.

"Another batch?" Hermione sighed in exasperation. She too noticed the parchment flash and wanted to keep the contents to herself. She knew that her quill-mate was nearby and she did not want to give him/her the satisfaction of Ron's anger.

"Yeah, killer this time, literally." Ron moved his head from side-to-side trying to get a glimpse of the contents of the parchment as Hermione held it behind her back. "Hey Hermione, your parchment just glowed."

"Well yeah, it did, didn't it?" She flipped the parchment upside down so that the front was facing the ground. She opened her bag and stuffed it inside her bag. "Well I guess I'm ready for that new batch." She grabbed her friend's arm and dragged him with her. "And you're coming with me."

Ron started throwing tantrums as he tried to escape her grip, not noticing the person hiding in the shadows at the entrance of the Forbidden forest holding a very suspicious parchment. He formed a smirk on his face and turned around to head back to the castle.

A/N:For those of you who read this because you've tried my other fics I wanna apologize for neglecting my previous fics. As I've said before I've lost my inspiration and imagination in continuing those fics. I'm trying to get it back by writing new ones that may push new ideas in me. But I do promise that I will finish the major fics that I've written namely; Last Chance, Summer Camp and Picture Perfect. I really want to apologize to those reading Summer Camp, I've promised before that I will end it in a few chapters but then the story got out of hand and became very similar to Last Chance. I'm still trying to figure out some twist that could end it.

For those who have not tried my fics my message for you is please review. I've received some ideas from the reviewers that I incorporated in my fics like in Summer Camp. I want to receive some juice from other people. I want to know what you want in here. I could make some adjustments for you, I'm kinda flexible. Please help me make something you want to read.

And before anyone flames me bout my English, here's a warning, I do not live in a country wherein English is the main language. So, I want to apologize for my poor English. I always ask for betas for each of my fics so I am asking the lot of you out there to please help me out. If anybody's interested could you please email me at I would really appreciate your help…

BTW this line "Not bad for a mudblood" means that he is admiring her for using a spell that belonged to the ancient times of the wizarding world. The person did not expect anyone to know that spell. It sort of sacred in a sense.

Another thing, I am no good with naming spells and OC's so I once again ask for your help in that department. Thank you all!
