A/N: Okay, okay, I've decided that I'm going to try to treat all of my stories equally and update them all frequently, well as fast as you guys can supply the reviews that I want *evil grin*, so basically it's entirely up to you when you get the next chapter, the faster I get my reviews the faster you get the next chapter J.
Disclaimer: I disclaim everything related to Harry Potter, and my beta-reader ccj-Cynical-ccj, owns Cyn James.
Chapter 6: Boiling Blood
Draco glowered at the letter he had just finished reading. It looked like to him that they were running out of things to say to each other. So he decided to write a bit about Potter.
Dear Mystery Woman,
I'm really getting sick of these petty arguments that we've been having. How about I start a fight to really get your blood boiling? Let's talk about your unrequited love, shall we? Has he said anything to you since you were spying on him in the library? Has he even glanced your way?
How many years has it been that you've been lusting for him? Six or seven? You must either be very ambitious or very pathetic. And knowing you it's probably the latter, considering your whole family is pathetic. How many more kids are your parents going to have before they realize that they can't afford the ones that they already have?
Mystery Man
P.S. Are you trying to prove something with that hair?
Ginny mumbled under her breath after reading the letter. He had definitely struck a nerve. What right did he have to talk about her family that way? Or her pining for Harry? She couldn't help either fact; it was just something that happened to her.
Cyn was standing next to Ginny as she was reading the letter; when Ginny was finished she handed it over to Cyn, who had become her new best friend over night. "What a git!" Cyn exclaimed after she had finished the letter. "How date he talk about your family that way? You should talk about his cold one in your next letter. And how money isn't everything, and that at least everyone in your family loves each other. He hates it when people point out his father doesn't love him." Cyn told Ginny eagerly. Ginny nodded slowly and motioned for Cyn to walk with her into the Great Hall for dinner.
Cyn followed her quietly, some how knowing that Ginny didn't want her to say anything else.
Draco's gaze fell on Ginny as she walked in the Great Hall, Cyn standing next to her. He wrinkled his nose; this was beginning to get unfair, two against one? Cyn was whispering something into Ginny's ear before walking off to the Ravenclaw table. When Cyn start she glared pointedly at Draco.
The Hall was buzzing about the latest letter; Mystery Man had just severely scorned Mystery Woman. So of course things were definitely going to get juicer.
Ginny flopped down heavily into her seat next to Hermione. Hermione raised her eyebrows at Ginny and went back to talk about whatever it was she was talking to Harry and Ron about. "Do you guys have any idea who these Mystery people are?" Ron asked.
Hermione shook her head, yet she did have an idea. "I have no clue," Harry said stuffing some flapjacks into his mouth. Hermione scrunched up her nose at him but didn't say anything. She decided to start a conversation with Ginny.
"So Ginny what have you been up to lately? I haven't seen much of you." Hermione said casually.
"Nothing," Ginny said prodding her food with her fork. "Why?"
"No reason, oh, and did you know that git Malfoy is staring at you right now?" Ginny jerked her head up. Malfoy was staring at her, and he was smirking. Ginny rolled her eyes at him and he snorted. Hermione watched the whole display, she certainly had an idea of who the mystery people were, and it was so simple.
Parvati and Lavender, were watching too, and they went through all the letters they had and studied them; then grinned wickedly at each other. They had never liked Ginny much, she seemed sort of a good-two-shoes to them.
Later Cyn and Ginny decided to meet in the library after dinner to work on Ginny's latest letter.
Dear Mystery Man,
You have no right to talk about my "lusting"! And you have even less of a right to talk about my family. But since you've already crossed that barrier I guess its okay for me to talk about yours, eh?
In my family, unlike yours, everyone loves each other. In your family I'm not even sure you talk to each other. Your father? Does he ever send you letters that talk of anything other that losing another match against your nemesis, or to update you on the recent events of his Master?
Has your mother kissed you lately? Hugged you? Did she even take care of you when you were a baby? Or did you have a nursemaid instead?
Money isn't everything, and my family is worth more than yours will ever be, so if you would like to talk about families again I won't mid delving a bit deeper next time.
Mystery Woman
P.S. About your hair, are you trying to be a blonde Snape?
Cyn read over it and nodded, they did a coping spell and started posting them around the school…but little did any of them know (them being Cyn, Ginny, and Draco), over half of the school already knew who the mystery people were. It wasn't hard to figure out after the snide remarks M.M. made about M.W.'s family and that rude statement about her hair. And reading Mystery Woman's latest letter just confirmed all doubts.
A/N: Okay, I know that was a short chapter, but it did its job, and I don't think that there will be many more chapters, maybe two at the most. I think that the next chapter will probably be the climax, and then after that will just be the aftermath. So REVIEW!
