A letter to Hermione Granger from Draco
Malfoy
Dear Granger,
Noticed how I wrote 'Dear Granger' this time? Yes, I'm sure you have. Not going to owl me anymore now are you? And I'm guessing that you were all ready to throw this letter into the fire once my owl came and gave it to you? Of course, you're probably reading the letter now since I've asked my owl to nip you on the knuckles exceptionally hard this time. Sorry if it left you with any bloody wounds but it's a sign that you have to read this letter or you'll probably regret it. Actually on second thought, I'm not very sorry at all.
I'm not disappointed that you're going to stop owling me. I only look forward to receiving them because, well, it's a sort of a thrill for me. A secret thrill. Weird? I know it is Granger and I'm not going to explain anymore. Also, I'd like to inform you that I finally know what's wrong with Potter today. Turns out that he's secretly dating that girl from the Quidditch team. Chang is it? Yes, that's her. I found them snogging in an empty classroom. Funny, I thought they'd broken up by now. And then of course, there's you acting very weird lately. Even Weasel's noticed it. And then it all fits perfectly together for me. Potter's secretly dating that girl and no one knows except you. I bet he's told you of course.
Surprised now mudblood? Or are you angry? Of course, the whole school will know the secret by tomorrow and both Potter and Chang will never forgive you. Especially Potter. And Chang is dating another boy isn't she? She's a two-timer then. And what about Potter? Everyone in school's known about the two of them. I wonder what will happen to Potter...
You do see where I'm getting at now do you? So unless you meet me in the empty girl's bathroom on the second floor after reading this, you'll probably suffer for the rest of the year. Send me a reply to tell me if you're coming or not.

Malfoy,
You insufferable, smarmy, wanker! You know that you're blackmailing me now aren't you? Of course you do. Otherwise you wouldn't have written that stupid letter that almost made my heart stop. Well. Alright. I'll meet you there. But I'm only doing it for Harry. Try to do any funny business Malfoy and I'll swear, I'LL SWEAR, I'll hex you to China and back.

Granger
Dear Mr. Anonymous,
Harry and I are just friends. Really, I wish everyone would just quit assuming that we are more than that because we really aren't. Just a few days ago, Malfoy assumed that we were dating. By the way, you aren't from Slytherin are you? I hope not. It would be mad if you were. But I don't think you are from Slytherin are you?
From the previous letters that I have received from you I can tell that:
- You're not from Gryffindor. Nor can you be from Slytherin as Malfoy once plainly told me that the only letter I'd get is one that is a howler.
- You actually like Charms and you did tell me that you actually like all of the subjects.
-And because of that, I think you're a Ravenclaw. After all, Ravenclaws are always known to be the smartest of all the houses here in Hogwarts.
Well. I think I may have almost found you out. Of course, Parvati and Lavender gave me these tips but I could figure it out by myself without their help. So are you from Ravenclaw then? I would like to know. Write back soon alright?
Love, Hermione Granger
A letter to Hermione Granger from Mr. and Mrs.
Granger
Dear Hermione,
My goodness! We haven't heard from you at all and we were starting to get a bit worried. Alright your mum was more worried than I was. How are things at school there? Lovely I hope? I know we've said this dozens of times but we miss you dear. Autumn's almost over and Christmas is coming up soon. We're not going anywhere this year (sorry about that) as all your cousins and aunts and uncles as well as your grandmother and grandfather will be visiting us this Christmas. I'm sure you'll be glad to hear this though. You haven't seen them in a long time have you now? How's your duties as a prefect going along? Write back to us soon alright?
Love, your mum and dad.
A letter to Hermione Granger from the secret
admirer
Dearest Hermione,
Well, I may never be Mr. Anonymous forever now can't I? I can't hide. Especially from you. You're just too smart for me. You found out that I am in Ravenclaw and we've only been owling each other for a few weeks or so. Well. I'm not going to go and make you go and find out who exactly is sending you all these anonymous letters. This time I suggest we meet. It's like .. a date. There's another Hogsmeade trip next Saturday. Hermione Granger, would you like to go out with me next Saturday to Hogsmeade Village? We can go where ever you want to go, it's fine by me. If you don't want to go, it's fine by me. I'll understand. Write back as soon as you've read this letter alright?
Love, Mr. Anonymous
A letter to the secret admirer from Hermione
Granger
Dear Mr. Anonymous,
You can't simply imagine how happy I am. Of course I would love to go out with you next Saturday. Ron and Harry have to practice for Quidditch and I'll probably be alone then. Shall we meet at three at the Entrance Hall? I was thinking we could go to The Three Broomsticks and have a drink or something there. Not exactly romantic but it's much better than Madam Puddifut's place. I'm sorry. I'm not like most girls. They're all into that kind of mushy stuff and I'm just more into my books. I'm really excited and happy now. I can't wait for next week! I'll see you then alright?
Love, Hermione Granger
A letter to Hermione Granger from Draco
Malfoy
Granger you made a wise choice meeting me in the toilet there. Of course, it's so fun and easy to toy around with you Gryffindors willing to lose anything for one another. Now Granger, as part of our deal, you'll do whatever I ask you to do and Potter's little secret's safe with me. Of course, I've already made it clear back there didn't I? First of all I want you to help me check my homework. The one that Snape gave us to do. And lend me those notes you were taking during Professor Binn's lesson? I would've done the same except that that old git's lesson's a complete bore for me and do you think I'd have loved to pay attention?
Send them to me once you've read this. And don't make a fuss over it Granger. It's all Potter and Chang's fault you know. If they only knew that empty classrooms aren't the appropriate places for snogging, you wouldn't be in this position right now, would you?

Granger
Malfoy, I've checked your homework and here are the notes. Honestly, one day you're going to get it really hard. Mark my words.
H. Granger
P.S. And I refer back to one of your letters. It's a thrill for you just by owling me? Really Malfoy, I never thought I'd say this at a time like this but I'm deeply amused - once again! More amused than the time I found your secret stash of drawings. Are you sure it's just a thrill? I'm not too sure. I thought Slytherins would get their thrills by seeing who could make the Hugglepuffs cry first?
A letter to Hermione Granger from Draco Malfoy
Well, well, well. So that's who your secret admirer is. Terry Boot. That Nancy boy? Surely he can do better than that and I thought he was a smart one. But of course, you two seem almost alike in almost every way possible. Birds of a feather flock together I suppose. And then there's the Ravenclaw girl snogging Potter. What is it with Ravenclaws and Gryffindors, Granger?
And of course, I find owling you a thrill. No one in Slytherin's ever done it before. Are you saying I like to owl you because of something else? Amuse me then. Go ahead and tell me. You're not going to give me another shock. I think a person like Terry Boot actually admiring you is a huge shock for me already.
And also while you're busy writing a reply, feed my owl. He hasn't eaten much at all. I had to send a letter to my mother and the silly bird came back to me. It hadn't even sent the letter to my mother yet. I think it's been spoilt terribly and I didn't give it some food to eat for lunch. I expect it's hungry now and I don't want to waste my expensive bird food on a disobedient bird like that. Don't you DARE go and send it to the owlry!
