Chapter One: Letter One

Dear Mizunderstood,

I've never written to one of these things before. So I'm rather new to it. How many times have you written to pen-pals? It's a little strange, you know nothing about me, but I'm going to tell you everything, everything! We'll probably never meet, so I hope you can trust me in the same way.

So let me tell you about me:

I'm sixteen.

I live just outside London.

I'm the only girl in a family of boys.

My father works for the Ministry.

I go to Hogwarts, so we've probably met, only we don't know it.

I love Quidditch, my favourite team is the French Falcons, though I'd never admit it anyone in my family, they'd go crazy. What team do you go for?

I like to write, I guess. I want to be a journalist for the Daily Prophet once I'm done with school. My mother wants me to get a respectable husband and settle down. But there's no way I'd go for something as cheesy as that.

I can't really think of anything else to write.

So I guess I'll hope you'll reply to this letter. Your advertisement quote said you felt like you could stand in a crowd of people and be screaming, and no-one would notice. I feel exactly like you do. So I hope you'll reply.

Well that sounds a little desperate, but I really need someone to talk with…

Yours,

Undiscovered.

Dear Undiscovered,

I hope you know how I feel, because I understand your need for someone to talk to. My quote says that I could be standing in a crowd of people, but it rarely happens now. I'm an only child, and my parents are never around. I tend to spend a lot of time by myself, and I'm not too sure its doing much good for me.

You told me about you, so I'll do the same.

I'm seventeen.

I live on a property a quite a few kilometres from London.

I'm an only child.

My father also works for the Ministry.

I also go to Hogwarts.

Quidditch is one of the only things I have left in my life. I can't believe you like the Falcons. I think they're the best thing to happen to Quidditch since… well the beginning of it.

I'm not sure how much I love to write, my time is more consumed by reading than actual writing. I haven't really decided what I want to do once I finish school. Father has my entire future planned out for me, but I'm not so sure I want that future anymore. Times have changed.

You said in your letter that you wanted to make these letters truthful. I completely agree. As long as you promise to tell everything, I'll do the same. I hope you don't take me for a fool for being so vulnerable.

Tell me something about you that no-one else knows.

Yours,

Mizunderstood.

This will be shortly continued. It's only a beginning.
