A/N: Thank you for reviewing, I hope everything's been clear enough lately.
Dear Louise,
Oh how are you my darling niece? I am very well here at home. Neville is well and I am going to have a BABY!
I know that you are someone I can confide in; I'm not sure whether I want this baby! Don't get me wrong, I want a baby, but not Neville's! He's been awful nice, ever since I told him about…about the 1st baby. The 1st baby that died, but I'm not sure I want the responsibility to have to look after another one. I just don't want to take the chance that this baby will die also. Help me Louise,
From your dearest Aunt
Ginny Weasley

Louise read the letter again.
She looked up, Lucy was sitting at the over end of the Gryffindor table, she shot a disgusted look at Louise before turning to talk to Aaron Malachi. Louise sighed. Suddenly she remembered that she had not made a sample version of a Hate Potion. Without thinking she put the letter on the table and dashed off.
Jacob sat at the Slytherin table, he was worried about Louise and the argument she'd had with Lucy that night;
::Flashback::
"Louise what are you doing?" Lucy had yelled.
"What'd you mean?" Louise had cried impatiently.
"You're kissing…Jacob…you know I…," Lucy cut off staring daggers at Louise.
"It's not like you were going out with him!" Louise shouted.
"Yeah, but, you know!…" Lucy had tears welling up in her eyes.
"Look, girls!" Jacob started, he had no idea what he was going to say, "Um…Just don't bring me into this!" and he stormed off back to Slytherin Common room. The two girls looked at each other. If looks could kill then both of them would be in the morgue now.
::End of flashback::
He looked gingerly over at Louise, to see her drop a letter and run out of the Great Hall. He got up and strutted over to the Gryffindor Table. As he passed Lucy she looked up and smiled. Jacob's expression did not change.
He picked up the letter and read it, he didn't mean to be nosy, it just happened. She's a Weasley? He thought to himself after reading the letter, he pocketed it and set off to find Louise.
Dear Jacob,
Your father and I have been wondering whether you would like to come back and live with us, I know I can never be like your real mother but… me and your father are getting married now! He promises not to bother you about becoming a Death Eater just yet, but please, I would love it if you came and lived with us again, there is a lot that needs doing and a lot that needs sorting out. Please come and visit in the Bank Holiday.
Yours
Lyn Trucker
Jacob tore the letter up and took out his wand and made it magically disappear. He wasn't bothered with his father at the moment, or the boring old step mother, Lyn. He had more important things to worry about. What was he going to do about Louise? She was a Weasley, if his father ever found out…But I hate my father, what do I care? But he knew that deep inside he did.
Louise ran frantically around her room in the Gryffindor girls' dorm. She was the only girl there, and didn't care about roaming about her room like a mad woman, she wasn't sure whether she was going out with Jacob (an enemy to Gryffindor), her best friend hated her…and…her aunt was having a baby with Neville Longbottom! Abruptly a girl walked in; she was quite tall, with long blonde hair and Emerald green eyes. She looked at Louise and smiled. She had very straight pearly teeth, Louise noticed.
"You must be Louise, Lucy can't stop talking about you," she said, she had a slight Canadian accent Louise noticed.
"All good I suppose," she said sarcastically.
"Well, she is sort of…but you know, us Gryffindor's , we're loyal and kind. But I don't think she's your friend!" the girl laughed.
"I don't know why. Jacob Malfoy's just a stupid Slytherin!" Louise cried.
"Yeah, but he's a good looking Slytherin!" the girl giggled.
"Sorry, I didn't catch your name!" Louise asked.
"Oh, Emily…Emily knives. But you can call me Daz," Daz smiled.
"OK, Daz, do you even know why he's in Slytherin?" Louise asked quizzically.
"I know, he should be in Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff! But Slytherin, he's always nice to me in Herbology," said Daz thoughtfully.
"Yeah, maybe there's some evil, waiting to break out!" Lousie cried.
Louise and Daz looked at each other.
"Nah!" The both cried at the same time and burst out laughing.
"Nice to see your having fun," Lucy had just walked in. She sounded upset and disappointed.
"Yeah, we are actually," Louise said pointedly. Lucy kissed her teeth and walked out. Daz and Louise started laughing again.
"I can't believe you!" Daz shouted.
"What, she was starting to get on my nerves!" Louise giggled.
"Come on, we've got Potions," Daz linked arms with Louise.
"Boring," they both chorused and set off in the direction of the dungeons.
Louise and Daz where sitting at their Table in the Great Hall. They were both reading through Grounding groundlings by Douava Shovel. The gold plates infront of them suddenly filled with food, but Louise and Daz were still giggling behind the propped up book.
"I thought you were best friends with Lucy," Reema Finnigan piped up.
Louise and Daz looked at each other,
"We-" Louise started
"were" Daz continued
"friends"
"but"
"now"
"we're"
"not!" Louise and Daz high fived each other, then rubbed their knuckles on their chests making a sizzling noise. They laughed and carried on reading the book. All of a sudden hundreds of owls came swooping into the Great Hall. Brown owls, tawny's, snow whites and mixtures.
Louise looked up and noticed a tiny owl staggering under the weight of an extremely heavy envelope.
"What a sweet owl!" Daz cried.
"Pigwidgeon!" Louise cried, "I can't believe he's still alive!" The owl dropped, as if, out of the sky and landed wit a plop! in Daz's goblet of pumpkin juice, the letter fluttered into a plate of bacon. Daz fished Pigwidgeon (a.k.a Pig) out of the pumpkin juice and handed it to Louise. He spluttered and coughed, then settled down to eat some fried eggs.
"Oh PIG!" Louise cried, she showed the front off the letter to Daz, To Draco Malfoy it read, "He must have forgotten that Hogwarts isn't the only place you deliver to!" Louise addressed the last part to Pig. Daz laughed.
"Who's writing to Draco Malfoy?" Daz inquired.
"I don't know. This is Auntie Gin's owl. I don't know why she'd write to Draco Malfoy!" Louise spat. She started to undo the envelope. She looked up at Daz, "I'm terribly sorry.. But I…"
"I understand, I've got a bit of homework to catch up on anyway!" and she walked out of the Great Hall, wiggling her hips and getting cat calls from every side of the Great Hall.
"Is that your kind of friend," Louise heard someone whisper in her ear. Lucy had come and sat next to her.
"Yes. And she's a lot nicer than you!" hissed Louise. She got up and walked to the other end of the Gryffindor table.
Dear Draco,
God I've missed you. Do you miss me? It's been ages since I saw you. I miss the way you bullied me and had fights with my brother. This is a pointless letter. It has no point. I might as well finish it here.…But I won't. How is Jacob? I would really like to see him. How have you been lately? I hear you're marrying Lyn Trucker. She's a nice girl, if that's the sort you like. I never liked her as she was a Slytherin, but I don't think she's turned out as bad as Slytherin's go. She used to pick on me, pull my hair and trip me over. But that's life. When can I see Jacob?
I must dash, I've got to be at the factory in 5 minutes. Did you know I design and make sweets? The company's called Gin & Nev! I don't suppose you know that either, I'm having a baby…with Neville Longbottom. And I know you want to hear this really. You're kind deep down. And I know it!
Yours Lovingly
Ginny Weasley

(P.S I used Pig, so I'm not sure whether this will get to the right person, or indeed get to you within the next week or so. He'll probably take a detour via Australia!)
Louise looked at the letter thoughtfully. Questions whizzed across her mind how does she know Jacob? Why is she writing to Draco Malfoy? Why is she being NICE to Draco? How does she know Jacob?
Daz came skipping in again,
"You ready to go to Transfiguration?" she bounced up and down the spot.
"Yeah come on!" Louise put her hands on Daz's shoulder's to stop her from bouncing. And they walked off to Transfiguration.
"Miss Granger? What is that you have there?" the impatient voice of Professor McGonagall rang across the classroom. She was now the 2nd ghost teacher to grace Hogwarts with her presence, but as Professor Binns had taken a not untimely retirement, she was now the only ghost teacher. She was the Head of Gryffindor house also. Louise had Ginny's letter on her lap. She stuffed it into her bag and grinned at Professor McGonagall. She decided she'd have to write to Ginny. But not right this moment.
Dear Jacob,
Hello son. I just want you to know that I am only writing because Lyn made me. You may come back and stay with us, for as long as you behave. That means do not speak to me. EVER! You do know that you'll probably end up living with Mrs Marks again. I did not know you were staying with a Mudblood! You'll need a good wash when you get home. I had to use a dirty Mudblood invention to telephone Mrs Marks and tell her you will not be living with her. When you come here for Easter you will be nice to Lyn, you shall be a gentleman, and you shall uphold the Slytherin values. Wizarding pride! You are a pure blood, you just remember that!
Yours,
Draco Malfoy
