You're bloody competitive to the bone. Don't deny it.
I'll face him in a game of chess anytime, you name it, I'll be there! I'd like to see the look on his face when he loses. Sweet victory at it's best.
Moving on, how is DADA for you? The teacher is off her bleeding rocker! They say she's a retired auror. If that's what happens to aurors I don't understand how anyone could ever want to be one (look at Moody!)
Draco
PS. If Charlie isn't a poof I'm not a stuck-up bastard. You ask him outright!
(/)
Draco
It's nice to know you get off on my brother losing.
DADA is scary. She likes leaping up behind me during class. Me in particular! Aleine thinks she's worse than Moody. You wouldn't agree after the ferret incident would you?
Charlie is coming to Hogwarts to talk to Dumbledore about something, he's staying a while to lend a hand to the COMC professor, she's broken her leg (I knew the Blood-sucking Bugbear was a bad idea). I'll ask him. If you're wrong we'll know you're a really a big softy.

Gin
Maybe she wants you to be an auror? And the leaping up behind you is a lesson in CONSTANT VIGILANCE! I don't agree with your little friend (who has Blaise whipped).
I'm never wrong.
Draco.
PS You know I only get off on looking at you.

I don't know whether to be disgusted or giggle and blush.
You know I only get off on looking at you.
Should I just ignore it and not say anything? I mean it sits in both the reasons why I should and shouldn't like him.

Draco
I wanted to be an auror you know.
I'm asking Charlie tomorrow, so you'll see.
I've got to go now, I'm meeting him today!
Gin.
PS. You're beginning to sound a lot more casual in your letters. Must be my influence.
(/)
Gin
Why don't you want to be an auror any more?
You ask Charlie, I'll see that I'm right.
Sev got custody. Took a bloody lot. My father's furious. He's got no heir. He'll be getting some girl a few years older than me no doubt. He's going back to trial for being a you-know-what. He's got so many lawyers it won't matter though. Unless we get 'clear evidence'. They won't even check his arm because they need permission. I would've thought refusing would be enough to prove him guilty but he said some long speech about how he won't because it lets them win. It would be impressive and honorable if I didn't know the truth.

I have to tell Draco that he's right. I don't know what it'll do to his already huge ego.
The conversation went a little like this:
Me: Charlie, I want to ask you something personal, promise you wont be offended?
Charlie: Promise. Shoot away.
Me: Are you gay?
Charlie stares at me, he doesn't say anything.
Me: Cause I'm sorry if you aren't, it's just a friend-
Charlie: Yes.
Me: (big sigh) Oh good then. Have you got a boyfriend?
Charlie: You're not freaked out?
Me: (I think about it for a second) I think it's pretty cool.
Charlie: (grins at me, but then gets serious again) And you won't freak out when I tell you who my 'boyfriend' is?
Me: (looks at him confused and a little worried) No...
Charlie: Remus.
Me: (squeaks) Lupin?
Charlie: (nods)
Me: Bloody hell! You're dating my professor!
Charlie: (frowns at me) Don't swear. And yes.
Me: That is so cool! (sounding a bit like Lavender) Does mum know?
Charlie: No.
Me: We have to tell her in the holidays! And Professor Lupin is coming with us!
Charlie: Ginny, I don't think-
Me: (glares at Charlie) I do!
Well, it went on a little longer than that, but that's the basics. I convinced him to tell the family when we go home in the holidays.
He's dating my DADA professor! Who is a werewolf! Percy might not be as pleased but I think it's pretty cool.
Anyway, now I've got to tell Draco (Merlin help me).

Draco
Don't take this the wrong way. You were right. I know it's a bit of a shock to the system.
You're not to go telling everyone Charlie's gay, he hasn't come out to the family yet.
Thank you for telling me. Seriously.
Now, to your letter. Wow. Just wow. So you'll be living with the greasy Potions Master from now on (don't tell him I said that). Does Snape even have a house outside of Hogwarts? He just doesn't seem human enough to be normal.
Your father isn't a nice guy, is he? It's strange, I can't imagine having a father any different than mine. I know you think he's a 'muggle loving fool' but you have no idea how great that is. I met Lucius once, in the bookstore before my first year. He slipped Tom's diary into my books and ruined my first time at Hogwarts. I can't claim to hate him more than you do but I'm pretty sure it comes close. Do you know about that? Did he tell you?
I have to change the subject.
Colin's expecting me to go on a date with him any day now. He stares at me whenever I walk past, gives me presents and takes photos like I'm some sort of freak show. I hate it! I love him dearly but I'm not even slightly in love with him. I don't want to break his heart so how can I make him realize I don't want to go out with him?
I've got to go, Aleine just came in red eyed, that means a fight with Blaise. I've got to do some damage control, bye!

I heard rumors about the Chamber of Secrets and your part in the reopening. The school wasn't fully informed, as you know, so I had to dig around to find out a few things. Tom would be Tom Riddle, right? I haven't actually figured out who he is yet, it annoys me because I'm pretty sure it's right in front of me. A descendant of Salazar, obviously, because he spoke parseltongue.
You were possessed through the use of a magical diary, which you really shouldn't have been fiddling with, don't touch magical items that are intelligent but have no visible source. I'm sure you learned that lesson the hard way.
Potter came to your rescue, cementing his position as your ever-lasting hero. Are you shagging him yet?
Draco.
PS. Blaise fucked up with his girlfriend. Shouldn't be too hard to fix, only he's too thick to do anything. I swear, if that's what love does to you, keep it away from me!
(/)
Draco,
Draco Malfoy, admitting things annoy him. You're so different, you know that? I would have pictured you as an arrogant, slimy git, but you aren't! It's nice knowing not all Slytherins are evil, even if sometimes you have me a little worried.
And no, I'm not shagging Harry! Stop being so obscene! I prefer to think of him as a brother (I have a bit too many, don't you think?)
Towards the topic of Tom: you do have a brain hidden away in that blond, aristocratic head of yours! As Tom Marvelo Riddle said 'I am Lord Voldemort'. Nasty prick enjoys anagrams.
Tell Blaise Aleine needs some time. Only a week, mind you. Then have him pronounce undying love or something (honest though) in the Great Hall at dinner. She'll melt like ice on a warm day.
Gin.

I seem to be rubbing off on you. Your language is guttering nicely. Plus you're showing some Slytherin traits. Telling your friend's currently estranged boyfriend how to win her over, I never would've thought it of you. Blaise is ready to grovel and kiss her robes so he accepts his task. I think he's going to sing so you might not want to make an appearance when that happens.
Thank you for clearing the You-Know-Who issue up for me, it was becoming an obsession. I admire you for that, you know? I think you must be a very strong person. Ignore that, it sounds a bit too much like sentimental crap to me.
PS. Of course you're not shagging Potter, you'd much rather be shagging me.
