Letters To and From a Stranger

By: g0ldensnidget, a.k.a. Snitch

          Author's note – wow, wow, WOW! Thank you for all you guys that reviewed!!! Here's a special thanks to you all:

Emma – thanks. It's very encouraging to hear that I'm not the only one with these kind of ideas... I might just owl (or e-mail) you if I find the time... or if my computer will let me... the bitch...

Brie Cheese Eater – thank you!
M.J. Kobayashi – sure. Tell your friend she's welcome, only just don't steal the smaller ideas... the big picture she can take... just make sure she reads every chapter so that she doesn't copy stuff in the letters.
..() – bite me. I specifically said in the intro that I will not take any insults, so consider yourself deleted from my memory.
Liberty Belleview – thank you so much! Don't worry, you might get better in time. Try writing something small. You'll get it.
Mequel () – yeah. I got this idea when I was in the shower... go figure.
Fireblade K'Chona – don't worry, more is coming right up.
melissaL – thanks. More is coming soon...
Irisheyes3 – don't worry, war will definitely be in issue here.
Vampire Story Hunter – thanks! I will. 
Athalia – I will.
Superduperducky – bolds and italics are easy – just do them regular on Word and Save As the file as a Web Page. Then when you upload the story... the bolds and italics will stay. It's like magic!
Kkroxyea – great plot, you say! Thanks! I'll continue.
Amiana – oh, Amiana... GIRL POWER to you too! I don't know what's with your godforsaken president either. May love and peace bless you, too, girl! You'll hear plenty about the war in this fic, I promise you that...
Ice_element - ... I don't know. Maybe I was mistaken. Maybe you were. I was too lazy to do a last minuet check-up, so... anyway, thanks for pointing that out...
BIGHARRYFAN – thanks! I'll update soon, don't you worry...
Laura – don't worry, I'll post even if I won't get reviews. I'm not that cruel.
numberlprincess – thanks! I'd been wondering if I'm the only one with this kind of idea...
hpdigigal – ACH!! I don't know. Maybe I made a mistake. Can we drop the subject? :-/
Black Horse – thank you so much! Don't worry, I've got like 20 more letters planned out.
Tw2qut4u – sorry! I'll give you plenty more chapters, don't sweat it!
Dippy – thanks.

Thank you all!

(Letter III)

          What?!?

          A book series? How can that be? I'm a real person, I'm Harry Potter! And besides, J.K. Rowling is a famous author here in the wizarding world... Oh, that might be it. I'll owl Hermione and check it out. I'll get back to you on that.

          Now, as for that question...

The order of the House Tables in the Great Hall? Book 4? What are you talking about?! Oh well. The tables go, from left to right: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff.

Now do you believe me? I don't know what it has to do with you being suspicious about who I am, but... I'm willing to cooperate, if it'll convince you I'm real.

Now, if you trust me, I really want to know who I'm writing to. Tell me about yourself. Are you a boy or a girl? What's your name? Where are you from? (I won't be getting that out of Hedwig.) How old are you? What're your hobbies? I want to know all about you. When's your birthday? You already know mine. What's your favorite lesson at school? What's your least favorite? Who are your best friends? Who are your enemies? Who's your favorite and least-favorite teacher? Why am I asking so many questions?

Sorry, I'll stop. Give you some time to breathe. I

Ok, Hermione's answer just came. I knew it! J.K. Rowling is a witch, who's made a fortune writing and selling books describing my life at Hogwarts. I suppose you have her books and know all about me, then?

Well then, here's your chance to prove yourself to me. How much do you know about me? Tell me some secret facts about myself.

Hoping to get a response –

Harry Potter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

          Ok. What do you think?

I suppose I'll be updating once a day, since there's always inspiration and the letters aren't too long... possibly I'll even post twice a day. How's that? ;)

The next letter will be very interesting, I guarantee you that. I'll be ranting on and on and on about Harry, and then about myself. It's the introductions-letter, really. You'll get to know me better (even though I will NOT be writing my real name or any of my friends' names.)

Keep reviewing. These were my first reviews, so I answered them all, but it takes too much time to read and then answer every single comment – besides, I think you'd rather I spent my time writing and posting, aye? – so from now on I'll only be answering specific questions. Sorry.

Love you all –

-Snitch.
