A/N: I apologize to the many narrow minded people that don't appreciate this story. As for the people that think I'm so pathetic, and unimaginative, try reading the book, and possibly, you'll see that basically, the only resemblance to the original Perfect Strangers plot, is the fact that they write letters because their school said they had to, and of course, the end result, sort of… So, in conclusion, I'm very "SORRY" if this story offends you, but, remember this now, I DON'T CARE…

MUCH LOVE,

Legolas Skies

P.S. By the way, Fan-Fiction is ALL about taking ideas from everywhere, and combining them to make a really fantastic, if I do say so myself, piece of fiction… You would be a hypocrite if you told me that I was a horrible person because I wrote from a book. If you've written fan-fiction, you've written from a book.

CHAPTER 2: First Impressions and Little Disappointments

Hermione was so nervous. She sat in the library with her book open, and quill poised to start writing.

Dear Who-Ever-You-Are,

I have been so excited to start writing ever since McGonagall mentioned the idea. I think the best way to start off is with a list, so, here goes:

-I'm a girl.

-I'm in Gryffindor.

-My favorite color is blue.

-I think that whoever came up with this program is a complete and utter genius.

I also think we should come up with some kind of name for each other, that way we feel we're talking to a friend, rather than some random stranger. Please, call me Bookworm, a fitting adjective, I think.

Bookworm

Hermione watched as the final words sink into the page and sighed. She could NOT wait until she heard from her book buddy.

Hermione took her book to every class and casually flipped it open every few minutes to see if her Book Buddy had written. Finally, a day later, she had gotten a response:

Dear Bookworm,

-I'm a guy.

-I'm in Gryffindor.

-My favorite color is orange.

-I think that whoever came up with this program is a complete and utter idiot.

You sound nice, though. When I first read your letter, I felt horrible. You're stuck with me when I could give a flying flobberworm about this crap. I'm really sorry; I'll try better next time.

(Oskan) – It's from a Muggle book.

Hermione was only a little disappointed, even though her partner despised the program, it was working! The whole point was to open up and let your feelings out. Even though her partner's thoughts weren't exactly happy, she still knew them, and with detail. The day had not been a complete waste.

Hermione looked over a Ron who had just shut his book looking vaguely guilty. "Wow," thought Hermione, "It's working for Ron, too. Maybe HIS partner made him feel guilty too!" Hermione smiled at the irony of it all.

Dear Oskan, (What book? I've probably read it.),

I really am sorry that you don't like the Book Buddy system. However, I am glad that you think I sound nice. If you don't want to keep writing, I understand, but, I will probably still write, that way I can always vent my feeling to an unbiased party.

If you're looking for some good HP fan-fics, check out Hermione 527… She's an awesome writer (and one of my best friends, so, I might be a bit biased). Her "A Deep Fried Experience" is exceptionally awesome and is a must read for all HP fans.
