My Last Breath
Part Three
A week? I didn't think I could take another day in this world. I wanted to go home and return back to the norm. I lay down and stared up at the ceiling thinking and slowly drifting into sleep.
**FLASHBACK** "I had over looked the fact that Josie was a muggle. September 1st rolled around and I started school again. During breakfast the mail came and I nervously stared at all the owls trying to figure out which one would come towards me. When it happened. A beautiful white owl flew towards me and dropped an envelope on my lap. I picked it up and read.
"Dear Draco,
Well I hope this owl reaches you I have never used one before to communicate with someone. But hopefully I followed Hermione's instructions correctly. I don't really know what to say being that this will be my first official letter to you and we have never actually had a decent conversation. I guess I could start by telling you about myself. But I don't generally like talking about myself. So maybe we could just skip that dreadful introduction. Although you do seem like a rather interesting person so why you don't tell me everything there is to know about Draco Malfoy. Well I guess I can end this letter here. Maybe the next one will be longer and far more interesting.
Sincerely,
Josie"
I folded the letter back up and put it in my pocket and got up to leave. I bolted straight toward the Slytherin common room. Thinking of the things I could write back to Josie.
"Dear Josie,
The owl did indeed reach me and your letter was absolutely fabulous. I don't usually get letters as nice as yours so it was a good change from everything. I don't know what to tell you. I have never actually had to talk about myself to anyone. People tend to just assume things about me. And I never bothered to correct them on anything. But I guess since you do seem interested in knowing whatever there is to know about me. I could start with the basics. Im a wizard but of course you already knew that. My family, the Malfoys, is a very well known and respected family in the wizarding world. I guess you could be proud of something like that. Except it's not as great as most think. Sometimes I look at other kids and their lives and wish mine were more like there's. Yes it is rather nice living in a huge mansion and having money and getting everything I want. But sometimes I just want a simple normal life. I don't want to always have to act a certain way to impress others and I am not too sure I want to follow in my father's footsteps. Although he seems to think I do. I think his life is great. But not what I want. I don't know why I'm telling you this I just met you and I'm already telling you my problems. I'm sorry I guess I've been holding that in for so long that it was just dieing to come out. You seem like someone I can trust. Something about you makes it easier for me to tell you this without being worried that you will judge me harshly. I think that's all I have to say for now. I have classes I must get to so I'll be anxiously awaiting your next owl.
Sincerely,
Draco Malfoy"
I ran up to the owlery and sent my letter to her. I sighed as I stared at the owl disappear into the horizon. After a while I went to my classes not really taking in any of the lessons. My mind was too occupied with thoughts of Josie to focus on anything else. **END FLASHBACK**
