The bell rang and Hermione dismissed her class. This had been such a long morning. She was tired and already in a bad mood because none of her first years were able to levitate a feather yet. She moved to her desk and was about to sit down when she heard a tap on her window. She looked out it and saw the familiar snowy white owl, Hedwig. Hermione rushed over and quickly let Hedwig in so she could see what Harry had sent her. She tore open the letter that she had long awaited from Harry and read it over and over again. It was nice to hear his words again. It had been so long.

Hermione sat down at her desk while her 3rd class came in. She quickly began to write another letter…

Harry,

It's so good to hear from you again! I'm glad to hear that everything is going okay for you and Ron. Being back at Hogwarts is so much fun and very exciting! I love teaching but it has its ups and downs. Like now, would be one of its downs. I feel like I'm sort of alone. I haven't seen or talked to you or any of our other friends. I always have more and more work to do and I'm never getting enough sleep because of it. It just feels like a different life. Well, enough about me…how do you like your job?

I know that this is going to sound kind of personal, but well, do you ever think about Ginny? You must miss her and everything. I'm just asking because I'm thinking a lot about people these days just because I haven't seen anyone in so long. I hope you're not as lonely as I am right now.

I'm trying to teach my first years how to levitate feathers and it reminds me when I was in class with you. You couldn't levitate anything to save your life. Haha. These kids are just not getting it and I'm getting so frustrated. Grrrr. Anyway, tell everyone that I said Hi. I've got to go because my 3rd class just came in and they're waiting. Please keep writing…this is the only really exciting thing in my life right now, haha. I miss you!

Love,

Hermione

Hermione sealed the letter and attached it back to Hedwig's leg. Hedwig flew out the window and Hermione watched her until she disappeared back into the sky. Hermione enjoyed hearing from Harry and hoped that he would continue writing to her.

She turned around and faced her class of fifth years, "Okay everyone, are we ready to begin our class?"

Okay, this is a relly short chapter but there will be another one coming by Wednesday or Thurday. Please review! Thanks!
