Dear Ted,
I have to say I was quite surprised when I saw that I got a letter from you of all people. Despite us being potions partners I don't think we've really said anything to each other that wasn't pass me this or stir the cauldron this way. I'm glad you did though, if I'm being honest, I've had a crush on you since third year.
I would love to go with you, really but it just wouldn't be fair to you. You deserve a girl so much better then I; one that isn't broken and tainted. One that's pure.
You see my father is a very traditional man, so when my sisters and I were in diapers he arranged with other fathers who would marry ys when we leave Hogwarts. My sister Bella married Rod Lestrange just last year, Narcissa is to marry Lucas Goyle, while I'm to marry Lucius Malfoy.
Every year we have an annual Ball at the beginning of summer, and well this year I was to officially 'meet' Lucius and accept his proposal of marriage. Long story short I dumped a bowl of punch on his head causing him to get very angry and call the whole proposal off.
The Malfoy's are a very respected Pureblood family so my father went to Lucius' father Abraxas and made a deal with him: Lucius would marry my sister Narcissa instead of me for anything that Lucius desired. Guess what he desired? Me.
My father came back from his talk with Abraxas and Lucius and told me I was to go with Lucius and let him do whatever he wanted with me. I pleaded with my father to not let him take me, but I wasn't exactly my fathers favorite person at that moment and he just muttered that it simply 'had to be done'. (Is it sad that I'm going into my sixth year and my first kiss was someone I don't even like?)
So even though I didn't exactly want too, I lost my virginity at the beginning of summer making me untouchable to any other man. Among other things but try have nothing to do with why I can't go out with you. I'm sorry but you deserve someone way better then I.
In case your still reading and you don't hate me yet, I'll reply to some of your questions I guess.
My sisters aren't that bad once you get to know them. Bella thinks like most purebloods about blood purity and all that but Cissy doesn't. I don't think Cissy believes in anything my parents say but she isn't brave enough to go against them. She's too afraid of getting kicked out.
I don't know anything about that muggle women. I don't quite understand either, Muggle's can't fly? Is that why all the mud-muggleborns get so excited in flying lessons? (Sorry I almost used that word... I'm just so used to always saying it, even if I never mean it, you know?)
Your parents seem funny to me, why are they worried about literature? Wouldn't they be more worried about that thing you guys have with all the numbers? Kinda like arithmancy.
Anyway, I'm sure you haven't even got to the point in the letter and you probably just incendo'd it on the spot but I'm sorry I can't accept your date request. Even though I really want too. We truly are opposites.
Yours Truly,
Andromeda Black
