Granger,
I possibly can't like you. Even though I do enjoy getting letters from you because it's you! Still don't get it Granger? Well, let me just simply put it this way: You're a predictable, know-it-all Gryffindor and therefore it's rather amusing to hear from you. Imagine a Slytherin going out with some lowly Gryffindor! Well I can't imagine that at all and I'm sure that if I do such a thing, I'll get a headache. I am a good-looking Pureblood Slytherin. I possibly can't date a Gryffindor mudblood like you. So you see now, don't you Granger? I don't like you so you can quit assuming that I do. I despise you. I loathe you. I simply hate you. Well, I hate Potter and Weasley more than you but I still hate you. You get it now don't you Granger?
Malfoy
Fine Malfoy! Believe what you want. It's not my business to stop you after all. Deny all you want. But I have to point out to you that I am not as predictable as you think I am. You are wrong to underestimate me Malfoy. And really, you had to send me a letter just to tell me that you don't like me? Why not just tell it to me right away in class this morning? Or were you afraid that spending one more minute, talking to me would tarnish your image? Whatever the reasons Malfoy, you are a cold-hearted, cowardly Slytherin.
Granger
P.S. And you dare say that you're good-looking? It's quite obvious you look like some rat! Or maybe a ferret.
Dear Hermione,
Sorry if you hadn't heard from me for quite a while. You simply wouldn't believe the load of homework they're dumping on us. Not that I'm complaining or anything but it's taking up quite a lot of my time. You don't seem to be very happy yourself lately Hermione. I've seen you in classes and in the Great Hall. You've been looking very tired. Everything is alright, I hope?
Also, Christmas is just around the corner isn't it? Are you going to go home or stay with Harry? I hear his aunt, uncle and cousin despise him don't they? It's rather ludicrous isn't it - the reason why they hate him? It's not his fault that he wasn't a muggle at all. That Saturday at Hogsmeade - it was the best day I ever had. I was nervous but you came and got the ball rolling and - it's quite remarkable the way you make my anxiety disappear. You're quite a girl, you know that? Well, I'm going to go and get started on my homework. Hope to hear from you soon!
With love,
Terry
P.S. One more thing Hermione: Would you meet me outside Professor Flitwick's classroom just before lunch? I want to give you something. I wanted to send it to you along with this letter but I'm afraid what the owl might do with it. Thanks!
Granger, I may be cold-hearted but I am not cowardly. A Malfoy is never a coward. Nor is he one to run off at the first sign of danger. And I'm not afraid that talking to you would spoil my image. Rather, I just don't want mudblood germs to get onto my robes that's all. After all, it is rumoured that Mudbloods nowadays seem to be carrying some sort of disease. Which is why when I get your letters and your homework, I use my wand to check if they're carrying some sort of disease.
And really, you and your Mudblood boyfriend really should stop showing public displays of affection especially when we Slytherins are around. Imagine our horror and disgust when we saw the two of you entering the hall, holding hands glancing shyly at each other. Simply disgusting. I lost my appetite after seeing that, thanks to you Granger!
Malfoy
P.S. And what was inside that box you were holding? When you entered the Great Hall with your boyfriend, I mean.
P.P.S. And I think you must be blind Granger. I am good looking. Much better looking than Scarhead and the Weasel. And I do not resemble anything like a rat. And certainly not a ferret.
Malfoy, once again you have not failed to amuse me. If muggleborns did carry some contagious disease of some sort as you purebloods say, we would've been banished from the wizarding world. And it would've come up in the Daily Prophet or something and there would be notices everywhere. Use your brain a little more next time would you Malfoy? Don't just use it for your devious plots or for your cruel comments.
And Malfoy, I'm not going to send you those notes you were asking me for. And no, I'm not afraid if you tell the whole school about Harry and Cho. You tell about them and I will tell your little secret to the whole school.
Granger
P.S. And you were asking what was inside the box? Not that I wish to tell you but if you're that curious, it's brownies, Malfoy. Terry Boot's mum baked them and sent it to him as part of a care package and he gave some of them or rather half of them to me. Rather sweet of him don't you think? Asked me to meet him outside Professor Flitwick's classroom to give them to me. Of course, if it had been you, you'd send me a box of earwigs.
P.P.S. You wrote in your last letter: A Malfoy is never a coward. Nor is he one to run off at the first sign of danger Nor is he one to run off at the first sign of danger? You've run off plenty off times when something bad happens you prat!
Hermione, things have been getting weird for me. You probably will be disgusted or upset at me for telling you this but Cho and I kissed. I don't know how that happened. We met along the quiet corridor one night after lunch and then it somehow happened. It was like a blur. Either that or I might need my glasses fixed again. Ron's not happy with me. Hasn't been speaking much to me. I don't blame him, I haven't been honest with him these days have I? He's not saying much to me. I suppose you're mad at me now as well. And another thing: My scar's hurting again. Voldemort's up to something. I just know it. I don't know if it's going to be another trap like in fifth year.... I really wanted to talk to you but Ginny said you were off to meet Terry Boot. I think he's a pretty decent fellow. He treated you well, that Saturday, I hope? Oh well, I'd like to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I've caused you any trouble at all Hermione.
Your friend,
Harry
A/N: Thanks for the reviews! Sorry, this chapter's short. I think Harry's a little OOC again. Hm. Oh well, I'm starting on another chapter right now just to make up for it. And yes, this is a D/Hr fic. It won't start out like one but it will :)
