Okay peeps, I have something to talk to you about… as some of you probably know by now, there is an author by the name of Kichigai kimita, who is writing a fic called Draco and Ginny. The fic uses the pen pal idea, and the first chapter is VERY similar to this story. However, I'd like it if you guys didn't give her any grief about that. I appreciate that you guys are doing it for me, but it's okay, really! I was upset when I read her first chapter, but then later she posted two more chapters, and not only does her story take on a different plotline then Pen Pal, but she also apologized to me, AND dedicated her story to me. How can I stay mad at someone who does that? Besides, I will admit it's kind of flattering…
Remember, my fellow authors, what it was like when you started writing? And how you got all excited about your first reviews? Well think how she must feel when she gets so many people yelling at her. It can't be pleasant! So, all I ask is you don't flame her because she uses the idea. I can't control what you do, but for my sake, let's not make a big deal out of this! I really don't want to get in the middle of a miniature war!
Well, That's all I wanted to say, so I'll stop bothering you now and let you get on with the chapter! Read, Enjoy, and Review!!!!
D,
When you get this, please write me back. I'm not sure why you're this mad… I didn't mean to make you upset, and I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry.

Random thoughts… letters, letters, letters… when will she get a hint? Maybe I should read one. But… burning things…
It's awfully tempting… I'll stick with fire I think!

Hi Journal,
I know I should be studying for my exams, but I just can't think about anything but D! I'm getting to the point where I feel like strangling him! (Or at least I would if I knew who he was!)
I'm starting to suspect that he isn't even reading my letters! I wouldn't put it past him!
Oh, and Sandy won't talk to me STILL!!! Instead she just spends all of here time staring at me! I think she feels sorry for me, but I'm not sure. AND I DON'T WANT HER PITY!!! But, if she does have to pity me, couldn't she be my friend again?
Later.
-Ginny
D,
STOP BEING A BABY A WRITE ME BACK!!!
Would you stop sulking already! I'm sorry if I wounded your male pride or something, but I'm sick and tired of this! We were finally talking again, and now you decided to act all bratty!
Write me back!
-G
Random thoughts… I got ANOTHER letter.
I read this one… I was right about what she'd call me. I should've known, I shouldn't have ever even bothered with that letter.
Well, now at least I know for certain that she is only going to ridicule me.
Goodbye, my darling! This is the end!

Hi journal,
I give up! The year ends in what? Three and a half weeks? I can't keep doing this; I have to get on with my life. I should probably start studying too! If I fail this year I am going to track down my pen pal, kill him, and then go yell at Dumbledore for ever making us do this stupid thing!!!!
-Ginny
Dear D,
I'm not your pen pal. I'm writing to you about her though. You see, I'm her best friend, and I think there are some things you need to know. For starters, since you stopped writing to her, she's done nothing but mope around, cry, not sleep, and she keeps forgetting to eat. (Just between you and me, there isn't enough of her for her to be missing whole meals!)
I know you're mad at her, but she's right about one thing, she didn't do anything THAT horrible! She should've explained why she said no right away, I'll admit that, but she really has fallen hard for you. Write to her, please! The poor girl is miserable!
Well, that's all I wanted to say to you.

Random thoughts… Got a letter from somebody
She says she's G's best friend, but how can I really know that?
G hasn't been eating… she hasn't been sleeping… she's been crying… she mopes around…
Why am I the one feeling bad??? She's the one who's an idiot!
Right? I did only read one of her letters… and maybe I finally triggered her anger…
She does have a temper!
I'm confused.
Perhaps if I go pick on Potter I'll have a clearer mind…
-Draco
Dear G,
Umm, could you write me back… and maybe tell me what you said in you letters.
I didn't read them. I know, I know, but just write me back, okay?
-D
D?????
It's really you? This isn't some kind of cruel joke, right? God, I've missed you!!! Oh, don't roll your eyes like that, I really have missed you!!!
I can't really remember what I said in all my letters… there was a lot of "I'm sorry", and I explained why I said no! Which is because we're not allowed to even meet until the end of the year. And also, though I didn't add this into the letters, I felt it was too soon after I broke up with my boyfriend! He was the first guy I ever dated and I didn't feel right dating somebody else only two weeks after we ended. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't – or that anyone else might say that I was – dating you just to bounce back from the break up.
I really am sorry if I hurt you, or made you mad.
-G
Dear G,
I wasn't rolling my eyes. I'll admit (though you must never repeat this to anyone else) I missed you too! And it should be me who's apologizing; I was acting rather like a jerk. But, like I've said before… that's just my nature!
Oh, and of course you didn't hurt me! I'm not some little kid who cries when they get told no… (I'm a teenager who sulks when they get told no!!!) ::wink:: I was mad, true. I would've saved us all some trouble if I had just read your letters, though! Oh well, what's past is past!
I'll talk to you later.
-D
Hi Journal,
The bestest thing in the whole wide world has happened!!!! D IS TALKING TO ME AGAIN!!!!
You have no idea how wonderful it is to get his letters! He's already joking and teasing with me! I don't know what made him decide to write to me, but what ever it was, I'm eternally grateful!!!
I'll write more later.
-Ginny
Hi D,
I have but one question: What made you decide to finally write to me? (Not that I'm complaining!) Did you just miss me, or what?
Oh, and good luck on your exams! They start in two days!!!!
-G
Dear G,
As it turns out, you have a very good best friend! She sent me a letter saying, and I quote:
"she's done nothing but mope around, cry, not sleep, and she keeps forgetting to eat."
Well, even if I was mad, how could I not write to you? You weren't eating!!!! Damn girl, that isn't healthy! She said some other stuff too, which led me to believe that perhaps I didn't have all the facts. Who ever this girl is, you're definitely lucky to have a best friend like her!
Good luck to you too!
-D
Well? What did ya think? Are you guys a bit happier now? The next chapter is the last one, and then I'll maybe add an epilog, but that's all!!!! I know, I don't really want to end it either, but all good things must eventually come to an end… and I will be writing a sequel, but I think it's really going to take some of you off guard! You'll like it anyways, and you'll love Draco's twins! REMEMBER TO REVIEW!!! Oh, and might I add: WOOHOO!!!! I GOT OVER FOUR HUNDRED REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
