A/N Hey, I owe an apology to my beta, it was my fault the last chappy took so long, I sent her the chapter but it never actually went through, so blame stupid hotmail and not her cuz it takes a strong person to actually decipher my grammar let alone my spelling and she does.
Also sorry this one took awhile as well, life is just hectic, I have major exams in a few weeks so I'm trying to cram a years work into my free time so I can pass. Because of moving about a lot this year I've missed about a term of work, which isn't helping so, I'm real sorry about the wait.
Sorry these are so long, but just a note to say from here on in, the information on schizophrenia may be a little inaccurate. Sorry if this offends or annoys anyone.
^_^ Green.
Disclaimer: Don't own it, I mean honestly do you think J.K would let Percy and Hermione hook up? (Well that's where this will head eventually, I told you this in the first chapter people)

Dear Hermione,
It has been a while since I last heard from you; I have to say I have become rather fond of our correspondence. It is nice to have someone intellectual to talk to, rather than the ramblings of Fred and George.
Oh do not mistake me, I love the twins dearly. However, you have to confess their behavior is rather uncouth.
I do hope that they are not aggravating you now that you are a prefect. I have to confess that they have a rather, well, disrespect for authority. Do let me know if they are a problem.
Now I'm afraid this letter is becoming longer and I have a full day of work here at the ministry. Do write soon.
Affectionately,
Percy.
*~*~*~*~*~
Dear Professor,
Here is Percy's latest letter. I am unsure exactly how I should reply. Any advice you have would be much appreciated.
I hope I am not overstepping a mark here ma'am, but how exactly do you know about Percy's adoption?
H. Granger
~*~*~*~*~
Dear Ms. Granger,
I would recommend simply writing back and try to discover Percy's whereabouts, which may help us later. For now I would say to simply reply to his letters as if they were perfectly normal.
I fear if you interrogate him, or try and point out his situation to him, he will become more reclusive, and we will not be able to reach him at all.
As for Percy's adoption, it is a very delicate matter. You may not be aware that Molly Weasley is a muggle born witch, as is her sister.
Her sister's name is Sarah-Ann Mould. She was a very pretty young girl, several years younger than Molly.
Now I must stress the importance that the following stays between ourselves.
Sarah-Ann was the year below Severus Snape when she was here at Hogwarts. In Sarah-Ann's 6th year she fell pregnant to Severus. The couple were very much in love, however Severus knew his family~ who are a very prominent pureblood family~ would not approve of a muggle born.
And although he had the love of Ms. Mould, Severus was still a very lonely, brain washed individual, and was becoming more involved in Voldermort's activities.
The couple did not know how to handle the pregnancy, as I have said. The Snape family simply would not have allowed it. The stress drove the two apart, unfortunately.
Sarah-Ann, not knowing what else to do, carried the child to term, then had her sister adopt it.
Now I must stress upon you DO NOT allow anyone to know, see or hear this. It is a matter of utmost confidentiality! Severus would simply kill me if he knew that this had transgressed.
I have told you this in the hope it may help you understand and help Mr. Weasley, you have already gained his trust and I feel that you may the one who helps him out of this.
M. McGonogal.

Dear Percy,
I'm sorry to have taken so long to reply to your letters, studies have been keeping me extremely busy.
Do not concern yourself with Fred and George; I am handling them quite well. But yes, the do have a certain disregard for the rules.
How is work going? Where are you staying at them moment? At the burrow or elsewhere?
Transfiguration is taking up a lot of my time at the moment so I regret I must cut this short.
Love,
Hermione.

Hey 'Mione,
I need your help.
Harry asked me out!!
Only I have no idea what to wear, how to act, where we should go, what's appropriate? Everything was so different with Michael. Please help!! I'm so excited about this date.
Luv,
Ginny
~*~*~*~*~
Hey Gin,
That's awesome, I'm glad he finally got round to asking you out!! You didn't hear it from me but the boys been crazy about you ever since the incident at the ministry.
Of course he hid it quite well, but I have known Harry since we were 11; he's like a brother to me.
I suggest you wear that really nice blue robe I gave you last month, when I outgrew them. Gosh I'm sick of growing!! I must have shot up about 2 centimeters this year! (Then again that only makes me about 160 cm) That's not the real worry though, my bust * Blush * had increased about 5cm.
I'm begging you do not let anyone read that.
You know its strange Gin, round you I feel I can let go and be a little less uptight than I can round others, even Harry and Ron to an extent.
Sorry, getting a little sappy. Hehe.
Look, why don't you come by my room after dinner and we can talk?
^_^ Hermione.

HARRY POTTER!!!!
WHAT IS THIS I HEAR ABOUT YOU ASKING MY LITTLE SISTER OUT?
MY BABY SISTER, SWEET, INNOCENT, TOO-YOUNG-TO-BE-DATING SISTER
YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THIS.
RON.
~*~*~*~
Hey Gin,
Ummm I think Ron may have found out about us.
Just guessing considering the howler he sent me this morning. Luckily I was out by the lake taking a walk when it was delivered. Either way I don't think he's too impressed.
*Gulp *
Oh well, I guess we'll have to deal with him sooner or later. Just wanted to give you the heads up.
^_^ Harry.
*~*~*~*~
Harry,
Don't worry bout Ron, he'll get over it. I'm a big girl now, I can handle one overprotective brother.
See you Saturday.
Gin.
P.S thanks for the heads up xoxo
~*~*~
Gin,
Yeh, I can handle one overprotective brother. It's the other five I'm worried about.
Harry xo.

Dear Hermione,
I'm actually currently in New Zealand, if you're not aware of it, it is a small island east of Australia. It's a lovely place I'm staying in a small farm area called Clarkville. It's just outside the city of Christchurch. I'm staying with Molly's sister Sarah-Ann.
I have only met her a few times but she is really a lovely lady. After all, she had nothing to do with Molly and Arthur's adoption and lies unto me.
She never married, but lives with her good friend Suzie. She went to Hogwarts and was a top student. I much admire her, we get along very well.
I'm sorry if you don't find this very interesting.
There was something I was intrigued about in your last letter. Fred and George have left Hogwarts, have they not? I was reading about their shop in a wizarding magazine. I must say I can't approve entirely, though some of their inventions are quite clever.
You did not hear that from me ^_~
Love,
Percy.
~*~*~*~
Dear Professor,
Here are my last correspondences with Percy. I thought you would be interested to know he is staying with Sarah-Ann.
Sincerely,
H. Granger
