A/N: The Snake Pit is a collaborative fan fiction written between four writers by the way of a role-playing game. The story is told through linear prose-style (role-play logs), letters, journal entries, newspaper clippings, and other materials which develop the main characters, who are the Slytherins in Harry's 6th year. You can keep up with the individual journals through the LJ community ( linked in this account's profile page ) or read the events of their school year in the conventional fan fiction format here.

Dear Tracey.
Sorry I haven't written earlier like I said I would.

Things are going well. I hope you're keeping up fine.
That was all. Write me back if you care to.

Dear Theodore,
Thanks for writing me. I know summer can be either very busy or very
dull. I hope yours has been busy with the right things, and dull when
you need it to be.

Dear Tracey,
Things haven't been busy. They've not been dull. There is a lot of time to think, however.
Not too long now, until we go back to school.

Dear Theodore,
I hope this letter finds you well.
I've been having a quiet summer myself -- can't say if it's a good or a bad thing yet, but my solitaire skills have definitely improved.
I've been spending a lot of time around Diagon Alley, so you should if you find yourself around there, you may see me around. If not, then I'll see you at Kings' Cross.
I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to classes again or not, myself. Still, it's one year closer to being done and leaving Hogwarts completely, I suppose.
Take care.

Dear Tracey,
You should learn a different game. Something other than Solitaire.
Are you about Diagon often enough for me to run into you? Or would we have to arrange a specific date and time in order to run into each other?
I've nothing to do at the Manor but my brother has been rather strict about curfew things. Tell me when you have to go to Diagon and perhaps we can go to Florean's.
Personally, I am not looking forward to the school year.

Dear Theodore,
Maybe you (crossed out)---sh--- could teach me some different games, then.
I'm usually about on the weekends, but I've been known to go out on weekdays as well. Whatever's convenient for you, really.
I guess we'll see what happens.
