Well, I noticed I got reviews quickly—here they are:
ChoChang0614- Thanks for the nice review. I thought that a different approach would make the story more interesting. Thanks.
Denomic-angel106- I'm flattered that you "Luv" it so much. I hope I won't disappoint you.
Letters are in Italics.
Well, I better get going—catch you later!

Week 1
Cho opened up her stationary kit and grabbed her quill and began writing.
Dear Draco,
It's Cho. What's up? I have to ask that...Dumbledore says in his "letter to help our social life". Isn't that stupid?
Well, it also says that we need to say our favorite things:
Favorite Song: Tough one...probably Slipped Away by Avril Lavenge. It kind of makes me feel like Cedric's around me again... but I'm not going there.
Favorite Singer/Band: Either Avril Lavenge (even though she's a muggle) or the Weird Sisters.
Favorite Color: Baby Blue...now these next few are getting easier.
Favorite Food: Chocolate Pudding...I'm such a chocolataholic.
And some things that we need to know about each other:
Name: Cho Erica Chang (I'm NOT telling you my real first name—it scares me)
Age: Almost 17.
Birthday: July 5th.
Birthplace: Beijing, China
Hobbies: Playing quidditch (you already knew that), hanging out with my friends, doing homework (believe it or not, I do like it), and giving myself mini makeovers.
Fears: Death, Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, not being able to get over a loved one's death, spiders.
Friends: Depends on whom you call a friend. My best friend is Marietta Edgecombe.
Well, now that we have all of that out of the way, I can finally relax and enjoy the summer. God, why do I HAVE to write to you?
Sincerely,
Cho Chang
Cho rolled up the parchment and tied it to her owl's leg.
Draco read Cho's letter an evil smile on his face. "Chang...Chang..." he muttered as he began his letter
Dear Cho,
It's Draco. I'm just dandy. My house elf has just brought me a butterbeer, and I'm just chilling in my room. You never told me how you were. So maybe it is annoying to write. Sure I do have better things to do...but this could be actually educational, in a way. Social education is often more important than mental education. Maybe Dumbledore has a point. Well, I don't have all day to write letters.
Favorite Song: Anything by the Weird Sisters. They are good, unlike that muggle music you like.
Favorite Singer/ Band: The Weird Sisters. Isn't that obvious enough that I didn't need to waste parchment on it. Well, I don't really care; I've got loads.
Favorite Color: Silvery gray. I still don't know why. Just something about it.
Favorite Food: Spaghetti. Italian Food is good.
Other that other sh...I mean stuff.
Name: Draco Lucius Malfoy (Why must my middle name be my father's...)
Age: Just turned 16.
Birthday: June 7. About 11 months younger, if I'm not mistaken.
Birthplace: London, England. Very expensive hospital, I might add. I found that out right before my first year. I heard my parent talking about money. I don't know why they do; they have loads of it.
Hobbies: I also like playing quidditch (I wonder why...), I like making Pothead's life miserable, I like playing wizard's chess, and I also like winning. Winning anything...positive of course. I don't want to win a chance for the whole school look at me naked. I'd be too embarrassed to show my face in public for years. Oh, and don't get ideas. I can have my dad sue you.
Fears: I'm afraid of being naked in front of everyone (as I just said), losing, spacing out during class and being asked a question when I wasn't paying attention, and upsetting my dad. Don't tell, but he's quite controlling.
Friends: Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle are my sidekicks. I'm also close with Pansy Parkinson. No, we are just friends; we aren't dating, unlike popular belief.
Well, that letter wasn't all too bad. I have an idea for our next letter. We will write our most embarrassing moment, our happiest moment, saddest moment, and weirdest moments. Just moments. If anyone blurts out anything, the other has license to give out the same information. I'm not that cruel, even though everyone thinks I am.
Sincerely,
Draco
Cho read Draco's letter and sighed. "This one will be tough." She said as she pulled out a piece of parchment.
Dear Draco,
Hello. Sorry about my letter, I was a bit tense. This really isn't as bad as I thought it would be. You MUST promise not to tell any of this information. Oh, and I have no ideas about you-know-what. I'm not that shallow. I prefer feeling innocent. Well, her comes my long string of moments.
Most Embarrassing Moment: It was my first year. I was walking to Transfiguration when I tripped. That was embarrassing in itself. Getting up, a book must have snagged my shirt, and my robes were a bit screwed up, so when I got up, my shirt ripped down the middle. The entire hallway saw my bra. I asked Professor McGonagall if I could go to my dormitory. She felt so bad for me, she said yes. It was just so horrible.
Happiest Moment: It was the summer before my fourth year. It was a day in August, and Cedric had planned a special date for me. We spent the whole day in a field of grass and baby's breath (the flower). At the end, Cedric gave me my first kiss. It was so romantic, and everything was just perfect.
Saddest Moment: When I received news that Cedric had died. He was the first person that was important to me who died. I was so sad for so long that I thought that I'd never get over him. I've healed pretty much though.
Weirdest Moment: It was my second year. Marietta, Erica Landers, and I were playing this muggle game called BS (stands for a curse word, easy to guess) and eating Chocolate frogs. Then we started doing the robot (weird muggle dance, Erica is muggleborn) and saying random things. It was just plain weird.
Well, you are right. We all need to mature socially. I'm too mental to believe that being so social can actually be fun. I could never go to parties until midnight everyday and not study. Maybe it would be fun to go to one.
Your Pen Pal,
Cho
PS: You aren't too bad, Malfoy.
Draco stared at the letter. 'So I'm not too bad, eh?" he said slyly as he picked up his quill.
Dear Cho,
Thank you for the lovely letter. I like being "not too bad." It's better than "insensitive git" or "ass". Let's say I've had quite a lot.
About your moments, I feel quite bad for you about your embarrassing moment and saddest moment. I have never had the whole school see my exposed undergarments, nor have I lost any loved ones. Though I wish I could get rid of my father...whoops...not supposed to say that. Well, here are mine.
Embarrassing Moment: It was the year before I went to Hogwarts. I was joking around with Goyle when I spilled the water I was drinking. Pansy Parkinson walked by and was like, "Ewww Draco, you wet your pants," And walked off. It was horrible. Everyone found out, and Goyle had reverse it all.
Happiest Moment: The day I got my letter to go to Hogwarts. I thought I wouldn't be able to go, as my dad is up to no good.
Saddest Moment: My mum once got really sick. I was really worried. She stayed in St. Mungo's for 6 months. She's ok now.
Weirdest Moment: Once, Crabbe and me tried to list as many as cusses as we could, then we had to use them all in one sentence. It was screwed up, weird, but it made us feel creative, and we were having fun. Goyle was doing homework.
Well, I think we should talk more about our personal lives. Unlike other people think, purebloods are my preferred friends (which I have)/ girlfriends (which I never have had), but halfbloods are ok. I have mixed feelings over mud...muggleborns. I need to stop calling them mudbloods. I'm trying to make myself a better person. Why, you ask? I WANT A GIRLFRIEND! Yes, I'm desperate. Oh, I better run before I tell you my life story. How boring will that be?
Your Pen Pal,
Draco
PS Have you noticed that I'm using the closing you are?
Well, I am happy that I got reviews. I might have only 2 reviews, but it's hard to get reviews in a category that gets stories quickly. It's annoying...but I'll get over it. Well, Chapter 3 will be up soon! RR please!
