Dear Viktor,
How are you then, since your last letter? Is quidditch going alright? I'm sure it is, you are very talented! As for me, well, I suppose I am okay, although I am sure I could be better. Things still aren't going very well with... Anyway, school is the same as it usually is, for me, anyway. Interesting, challenging and much too fun to be normal! But then again what is normal in this world? Certainly not me, that's for sure. So, anyway, you asked for my news if I had any in your last letter, but I really don't have anything extremely interesting to tell.
Oh Viktor! It isn't working! I am trying so hard to make him notice me, make him like me, I've tried everything you said should work, but it doesn't seem to get anywhere! Viktor, I love him so much, I told you this when we first met, when you told me that you were gay! You shared your secret with me and I felt so compelled to do the same and so I declared it, embarrassed yet happy for it to be in the open, with you at least! Because it is true! I love him! I love Ronald Weasley!
And so you remember how you said I should go to the ball with you to gauge his reaction and see if he was jealous! And I thought it had worked! But the sad part was it led to more fighting! Oh, Viktor I am so tired of fighting with him, it hurts so much! But no matter what we always end up shouting and snapping! I wish it would stop, because it hurts me and I am afraid that it might one day hurt him too, and then he will never love me, never even like me anymore!
Oh dear! Look at me, rambling on at you, this is most unfair! Please let's concentrate on you for a while! How are things with Franco? That boy you told me you were having feelings for? Did you build up enough courage to talk to him yet? I do hope so Viktor, it would be nice for you to finally find someone! And you are so charming and funny, very nice to talk to! I must thank you Viktor for writing letters to me, it has really helped me this year! Fifth year is extremely hard and I've got my little problem of Ron to contend with too!
So I suppose I shall end this letter here. Please write to me soon and tell me all the thoughts plaguing your mind! And also, Viktor, if it isn't too tiresome, maybe give me some advice as of what to do about Ron?
Thank you so much Viktor!
Love,
Hermione xxx
