Chapter Two
Love Letters and Soggy Owls

Remembering the cause of the commotion, Andrew fished the soggy owl out of Draco's porridge. He propped Herald (the owl) against his goblet, and tore open the envelope.
Scanning the letter, he immediately ripped it up and put the shredded letter back into Draco's oatmeal.
"They're thinking about putting it as a new unforgivable curse. It can kill someone," Draco was saying. For Crabbe's benefit, he added, "It depresses breathing to some extent--" He stopped, seeing the look on Andrew's face. "What? What did your letter say?" Andrew just shook his head and put his head in his hands. Draco continued, "and you also can't see or hear or move at all."
"I could see and hear fine," Andrew argued.
"Yeah, sure, kiddo," Draco laughed.
