Chapter One: The letter

"Dear Professor Dumbledore,

I really hope that you are not too offended by this letter.

You may throw it away, if you like to.

I know I've always seemed very rejecting, but I promise you that it had nothing to do with you.

It's just a part of my personality; it protects me from disappointments and pain.

Well, normally it does.

But now, where we are about to be separated, I feel my protection has failed.

The thought of never seeing you again does not only scare me, but hurts me in a way I have never experienced before.

I will really miss your classes, your talking, your voice, yourself and I can't deny that I have very little slept the last nights.

I would like to tell you this face-to-face, but I fear breaking out in tears and making a complete fool of me.

The thing is, I seem to love you.

I know how childish this sounds and if I could say it was just a crush, I would.

But it wouldn't be honest.

Otherwise, all my failures and mistakes in you class and all my silly comments wouldn't matter so much to me.

I wanted you to be proud of me, but instead of showing that to you, I argued with you.

I really behaved very childish and I hope you will accept my apology.

And though I try to act logically, I cannot help myself from imagining us together, though I know we will never be.

I'm so sorry.

You should laugh about this; I would understand it.

My only wish right now is for you to become happy, no matter if it's even without me.

You are a great man and the wisest person I have ever had the pleasure to meet and I want to thank you for all your help and being.

I hope that you will always remember that, in all the crowd of teachers at this school, to some student you have not been one, but the teacher.

Wishing you the best.

Some student.
