DC: I don't own anything not even Kassie. Dance-flirt owns her even though she's suppost to be "me". This is a run off a chapter of Conversations with Strangers. Review plz! REVIEW! BYE!

On With The Show!

"Welcome! Welcome! Before we dig in to our feast I have a wonderful announcement for all students in 3rd year and up. You can sign up to get a pen pal, a student from another Magical school. You can either do this for fun or for get extra credit. The sign up sheets will be in Professor McGonagall's classroom. Mind you, you can only sign up on your own time not when class is going on. And you cannot use it as an excuse to be late to class. Now, lets eat!" Professor Dumbledore said before the food started to pop up out of nowhere.

"This is so cool! I'm going to sign up. I hope I get a Durmstrang boy! Better yet. Victor Krum!" Pansy said out loud. "What about you Draco? Fancy talking to a girl from Durmstrang or Beauxbatson?" she asked me.

"Oh. I don't know. Maybe." I replied not really wanting to talk to Pansy Perkins who loves to butt into other peoples business. And her pug face is kinda scary when she's happy but then again it's always scary.

"Oh come on Draco don't be such a wimp!" another slytherine said.

"Well I don't plain on hoping to get a boy so I can flirt with like you!" I said back to the boy, the whole table laughed and no one said anything more to me about it.

After dinner I saw a bunch of people heading to McGonagall's classroom. I decided to wait a while before signing up. A day or two. With this pen pal thing going on 3rd year is defiantly going to be different.

Next day

After transfiguration class I walked up to the little desk set up for the occasion. I picked up a sign-up sheet and filled it out.

Name: Draco Malfoy
House: Slytherine

Year: Third

Choose one:
Durmstrang or Beauxbatson
Answer: Beauxbatson

Hoping for a girl, I gave the sheet to Professor McGonagall.

"You'll get your pen pal in about a week or less." She said in her usual stern tone. I went back to the common room. I sat down in a chair known to every Slytherine that it was "mine". I pulled out my potions homework, the only homework I had left and the easiest homework I ever get. But then I was half way done I started to think about the whole thing. If I did get a girl. What would we talk about? How would we react to each other, what if I don't like her? Or if she doesn't like me? What if she's ugly? What if she thinks I'm ugly? What if she's a Potter fan? That thought made me gag. What if she's a mudblood? That last thought made me cringe.

A week later

Everyone was at breakfast just holding his or her breath waiting for the mail. Today everyone would be getting their first letter from their pen pal. I was nervous too but there was no way I was going to show it. So I sat there like everyone else. Eating quietly and not talking, just listening for the sound of wings. Then there it was. The sound of hundreds of wings. They're a bunch more owls because they where also coming from the other schools as well as homes. A pretty little Snow Owl came down to me and dropped a letter right into my hands. I opened the letter to see delicate handwriting.

Dear Draco,
I'm Kassie Konnor from Beauxbatson. So you go to Hogwarts. What is it like there? What kind of classes do they have there? You know it's really hard to do this. Writing a letter to someone you don't know. And you're not sure what to say or talk about. You don't even know what this person looks like! But in a way it's fun and mysterious. So how come you signed up for the whole pen pal thing? I did because I thought it would be fun. Getting to know someone through a letter seemed interesting. Well I have to go, my friends are bugging me. Talk to you later! Bye!
Kassie

I just looked at it, rereading it. This girl, Kassie felt the same way I did about this whole pen pal thing. I pulled out some paper, ink and quill and started to write back.

Dear Kassie,
It's nice to know that you feel the same way about this pen pal stuff. Its really nice here but probably not as nice as what your use too. There are tons of classes here but I'm only going to name a few: Transfiguration, Charms, Defense Agents the dark Arts, and Potions. I signed up because, secretly, I think I need to get more social and plus I don't get much mail except from my parents. I'm kinda bored of everyone here. What kind of things are you into? Do you have any siblings? I'm an only child but its fun, sometimes.
Draco

I reread it a few times then right before I tried to tie it to the Snow Owls leg, Marcus Flint grabbed it out of my hands. I glared at him while trying to snach it back.

"Already writing back to you pen pal? How pathetic! Oh! It's a girl. How deli..." he didn't get to finish talking or reading my letter because the Snow Owl swooped down, sat on his head and took the letter. The owl came back to me and sat on my shoulder.

P.S. Smart owl! What's her/him/it's name?

I tied it to its leg and it took off. Once it was out of sight...

"Eewwww!" a girl shrieked pointing to Marcus.

A/N:Whoa! Whats going on? What happened? Did the Owl do something? I think so!(hint hint) LOL! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
