A/N: This is my entry for a few Hogwarts Houses Challenges. This submission is by Lily of house Ravenclaw. It is only marked as a WIP until I have all the letters in it. It will be named complete one that happens.

Final word count: 524

Dromeda,

I hope you don't mind me calling you that. But everyone calls you Andy, and, well, I want to be special. I'm not quite sure what's compelled me to finally write to you, but it's happened nonetheless. Perhaps it was a quote I read recently, "The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity." Amelia Earheart said that. Do you know about her? I only ask because I've heard about your family being one of the really...biased purebloods. I'm sorry if that offends, I just can't decide on the right word. Anyway, if you haven't, I'll tell you anything about her. She's a brilliant woman. First muggle woman to fly around the world.

How is your summer so far? I have already finished the assigned work, and my parents have me endowed in summer school, because they feel I'm not learning the necessities. They love Hogwarts, and are happy I'm attending, but feel that the lack of a literature class very disturbing, no matter how much reading and essay writing we have to do. But the class is fun enough. I enjoy the extra learning with muggle books.

I do hope you're enjoying your summer. What kind of things do wizard families do in the summer? I've spent some time with friends in their homes, but then again, most of my friends remain muggleborns or halfbloods. That's not really planned or anything. But it's how it worked out. Can you believe that I'm going into my sixth year and asking such a ridiculous question?

I'm sorry if I'm wasting your time. I hope you don't think I'm too bold in writing you. We've never really spoken before. And I guess it makes sense. Although we have been potions partners for years. I'll never understand why you didn't choose a member of Slytherin. But, I was very happy to have a new friend. Except that I could barely muster the courage to speak to you. I hate to admit it, but I let the rumors I'd heard get to me. About your family, but you. There were no rumors about you, but plenty about your sisters. I should have spoken to you more. I want to talk to you more. I really want to get to know you. And after reading this, I'm sure you probably don't want anything to do with me.

However, I must say why I chose to write you. I have tickets to an event this weekend, a muggle play. I was wondering if you might be interested in joining me. For dinner and a play, that is. I want to take you on a date. You are a beautiful woman and I would be honored if you would join me. It's a production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. It's a very confusing okay that has a play within a play, fairies, and a donkey named Bottom. And yes, it is as confusing as it sounds. I'll take you anywhere you like for dinner, and the theater district has some amazing restaurants. So would you please join me for a date?

Sincerely,

Ted Tonks
