I'm back! Before I begin, I'd like to thank my reviewers (For such short chapters I get so many positive reviews). Please, enjoy!
Dear Pen pal,
I don't see why you think you should be mad at me. My last letter was perfectly acceptable. Um, anyway, that's great news about your room. I think magenta is a great color but lavender is good too. My room is blue and silver the colors of the Applby Arrows, my favorite team. I don't really have anything to say but I'll try. Well, I guess I'll tell you a story from when I was little.
I was in a wizarding play group until I was 5 years old. The teacher, Miss Halenbeck (A/N Miss Halenbeck was my ballet teacher from when I was five. She called me "impertinent" and so I stopped taking ballet) was very sweet looking. She acted kind and gentle around the parents and inspectors, so no one ever suspected her of anything or thought to put a Surveillance Charm around the premises. In reality, however, she would punish the poor defenseless children mercilessly. She came from some northern country and had gone to Dumstrang for her school years and I experienced first hand what she had learned there. She was very clever at DADA and Charms, so she was able to hurt us, then use different charms to disguise it. One day, after I had been at this play group for about a year, I saw Miss Halenbeck cursing my sister. Well, she could curse me all she wanted, but when she bullied my sister, she had to go down. So, I watched her. Every day for two, two and a half weeks. I learned her schedule and soon I knew that at exactly 12:15 she always took a bathroom break. So I hatched an evil plot. At 12:15, Miss Halenbeck went into the bathroom with a magazine and I grabbed her wand from her back pocket. I hid it in the fake potions sets. Then when she came out, all the kids I had organized into rebellion attacked her. Miss Halenbeck didn't know what hit her. By the time I had inched out of the tangle, grabbed the wand and touched the DWB (Dark Wizard Box; once Grindlewald attacked a preschool so they became more cautious and installed DWBs in all play groups and preschools.) Miss Halenbeck was cursing and had she been holding her wand, most of the children would have been severely injured. When the Dark Wizards Defense League showed up in response to the DWB they saw the normally graceful and neat Miss Halenbeck cursing like a madwoman they immediately took her to the Ministry. We kids got a new teacher who was very nice and we all lived happily ever after.
So, there's a childhood memory for you.
Write,
Pen Pal
Author's corner:
Hope you enjoyed it. Now to personal responses:
bow( )- I'm sorry you don't find my writing up to standard and I have tried hard to please my readers. If you don't like my use of mom/mum (I'm American so I instinctively write mom not mum and I thought since Lily and James are British I might put in Mum in parentheses) and my notes, please take above suggestion. Also, I only know of one previous reference to when Voldemort started attacking people (1st book "we've had precious little to celebrate for 11 years"). I'm assuming it started in Lily and James' final year or two at Hogwarts.
To everyone else who wanted the mom/mum thing stopped, I'll do my best.
To everyone else who reviewed: Thank you, I salute you! The next chapter is in progress and a sequel on the drawing board.
