"No. Too impersonal."
Dear Mr Lupin.
"Sounds like I'm trying to employ him."
Teddy.
"Childish!"
Dear Ted.
"That'll do. Here goes."
Dear Ted,
I know it's late but Happy Birthday! 19 at last! And here's little old me still stuck in school! NEWTs are an absolute nightmare! I wish I had you here to help me. It's really not the same without you. Nicki is just as obsessed with Quidditch as ever and Louis with his new girlfriend! She's called Hattie, so you can tease him about it next time you see him!

She sighed and stood up, brushing the dirt off her clothes, wishing that one day she wouldn't have to hide in the owlery in order to send letters to Ted away from the prying eyes of her sister and brother. Maybe one day, she would be able to actually tell Ted how she felt. How she had fallen for him so far and so fast that she hadn't even realised it had happened. She had never noticed the moment when her feelings for him had changed from being just good friends, to so much more. He was just Ted. And she loved him.
