LETTER ELEVEN

Oliver Wood
2 Spring St
Autumn Grove

Dearest Oliver,

That's a lot of questions. I'll do my very best to try and answer you clearly. But excuse me if I go off the track a bit- you know me!

The baby is currently about 4 months old so my stomach is just beginning to stick out. I look very strange right now!

I found out about one month ago and I have been thinking about what to do. I discussed it with my mother which is why I organised to go to their house over the break. That way she'd make sure you didn't freak out too much when I left.

Darling, I wanted to tell you so badly but I had to accept it for myself first. I really did consider telling you at every point of the day but I knew it was going to change our lives and I wasn't sure how you'd feel about it.

The friend I am staying with knows, you know and my mother knows. I'm so young Oliver, I don't want to be labelled anything. 21! 21 years old and pregnant! My father would have a heart attack if he found out the wrong way so please keep it quiet.

Of course we are going to keep it, if that's okay with you. It's too late for an... abortion or anything and I don't want to give it up ever!

I have been to the doctor of course and everything is a-okay!

I must run now, my friend has put on a lovely supper. We'll be together again soon Oliver, I promise.

Love always,

Hermione
