Adam stirred from her sleep. She had heard something, she was sure of it. And it happened again, a soft hoot. Scooting into a sitting position, she pulling back her curtains. "Knight!" She exclaimed softly, seeing her barn owl sitting on the window between Adam and Sage's bed. She stood up and walked to the owl, taking the crumpled, torn slip of parchment in his beak. Stroking him gently, he crouched onto the sill of the window. She took the letter back to her bad, and sat up, pulling the curtains up again.

"Lumos" she whispered, and a glow appeared at the end of her wand. Unfolding the note, she read it.

Dear Adam,

I know you probably don't like me very much, but I only wanted to say, that you're beautiful, one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. And you're smart, and kin, and well I could go on forever. You don't have to write back, I don't expect you to, but I just wanted to tell you what I did.

Signed,

Ron Weasly

She read the not again to make sure she had just read what she did. "Sage was right, and it's getting worse than I thought!" She whispered to herself, climbing down to the foot of the bed and retrieved parchment and a pen. She was one of the only few students to use one. It wrote blue with glitter sprinkled in it.

Dear Ron,

Thanks for all the compliments, though I don't deserve any of them. And yes, I do like you. You are a great and wonderful friend to me. But, I doubt we could be anything more. I don't want to ruin our great friendship.

Sincerely,

Adam

She stood up, and gave the note to Knight, whispering directions as she petted him. He flew away soundlessly into the darkness, and Adam climbed into her bed, letting her body be taken to dreamland to rest on the shores of slumber.
