Letters To You

Dear Cedric,

I know I've told you a million times today, but you are truly my best friend! I can't even believe we've known each other for five years! Remember when we met at the Weasley's? I had just turned 6, and you would be 7 soon. My family had just moved to St. Ottery, and Mrs. Weasley invited me and Blaine over to play with you guys. I remember you and all the Weasley boys were playing quidditch, and Fred and George told me I couldn't play just because I'm a girl. And then you said, "How do you know? She could be the best of all of us!" And then you smiled and handed me a broom. I scored within 15 seconds. And I knew you were going to be my best friend.

I can't believe we're about to start our first year at Hogwarts! I'm so nervous, but excited! You keep telling me you aren't nervous, but come on Ced! I know you most likely are! I really don't want to be separated from you or the twins! Of course they'll probably be in Gryffindor. I hope we all are! Well, as long as we aren't in Slytherin. Blaine says most of them are rrreeeaalllllly bad! It's just too bad first years can't have brooms, or even play quidditch for that matter. I know we would be the best! Blaine says Hufflepuff doesn't have any openings, and Charlie says Gryffindor doesn't either. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

I don't really know why I'm writing this when I just talked to you, or when I could walk down the road to your house right now! But I think I'll keep doing it. It's almost like a diary I can tell anything to, except I'm writing to my best friend and I don't think I'll ever show you this. Oh well, we'll see what happens!

Signed, your best friend,

Presley Caroline Carter
