****Hermione's House****
Hermione ate dinner quickly with a big grin on her face. Her parents just stared at her, wondering what on earth got their daughter so excited, but said nothing. Hermione did not even bother to let the taste of the Spaghetti sink into her taste buds; she just inhaled it, waiting for a reply to her letter. Even though it might take days, or even weeks, for all she knew.
She was very anxious: she was getting a friend! Sure, she had Harry and Ron, and occasionally hung out with the other Gryffindors, but she never had any girl friends. No one to gossip with late into the night, no one to share secrets with, no one to be herself with. Sure, Hermione was a bookworm, but that didn't mean she didn't have a feminine side. She finished her dinner hurriedly, and after politely turning down dessert, she dashed off to her room.
She sat down at her vanity table and combed her hair softly, trying to make it silky smooth, although she thought the concept was quite impossible. Her mind drifted deep into thought, until she heard an owl tapping gently at her window. She suddenly got really excited, and ran to let the owl in. To her deep disappointment, it was only the Hogwarts owl. As soon as the thought hit her, she snapped into Hermione-mode. 'What the heck was I thinking? This is the HOGWARTS letter. This is one of the best things about the beginning of the year. Just because I might be making a new friends deosn't mean I can forget about my studies,' she thought to herself sharply.
Hermione opened the envelope, and let the contents spill out. Of course, she was sent a supply list, only needing a new DADA book (Secrets Behind the Dark Arts: How to Protect Yourself by Moinna Lewer), a basic spell book (Standard Book of Spells Year Six), and some new potions ingredients and robes. All the rest of the books she already had, but she figured she would buy some other books for personal enjoyment.
The envelope also contained her OWL scores. She was pleased to see she got the best scores in every class, except for potions, in which Malfoy beat her by 3 points only. Hermione placed the papers in her top desk drawer, after congratulating herself for her good scores, and promising herself to do better in potions. She curled up in her favorite arm chair, and stared out the window at the stars.
****Cho's House****
Cho was looking through her fridge for leftovers to eat, then gave up, being distracted by the odd light. She was very interested in the muggle contraption that kept food cold. Wondering what she was going to eat, she wandered into the great room and turned on the "Telly-vision" that her dad had brought home for them to investigate. She thought it was highly weird unusual,but her dad found plenty off odd things, being a top Auror. She flipped on a program that she didn't know that name of, and watched with amusement.
Raiden flew in and landed on the arm of the couch, and waited patiently for Cho's attention. Cho, only half paying attention however, reached over and stroked the pretty owls feathers. Her eyes still glued to the TV, she snatched the letter from the owl and opened it, wondering who it was from. When she saw it, she gasped with excitement, the program now forgotten. The letter from her anonymous friend read:
Dear "Current" Friend,
I think it would be a great idea for us to become friends. I'm a 16 year old girl, and since you are older, would you mind helping me through the school year? I think we should just use initials, so you will have to tell me yours. I hope to hear from you soon, and thank you for the chocolate.
With Love,
HG
Cho shrieked with excitement, and ran up to her room, so she could write a reply. She sat at her desk and eagerly took out her paper, quill, and brand new green ink. She scribbled down excitedly:
Dear HG,
I'm so glad you wrote back. You have no clue how bored, and yet anxious I have been. I'd love to help you through 6th year, what are friends for? Oh, it is so good to finally have a true friend to talk to. I know that probably sounds flaky, since I barely know you, but still.... My initials are CC, by the way.
Love,
CC
Cho reread her letter with approval, and called Raiden up. Raiden, thrilled to be of service, flew up the stairs and stuck out her leg, ready for a letter. Cho giggled, and tied the letter to her leg. Raiden arrogantly flew out the window to deliver the letter, internally smirking.

So, what did you think? I know that wasn't really longer, but I'm doing what I can. Once they actually start to hang out, not just through letters, it will get longer and more exciting. Please click that nice little review button.
