Harry delicately traced his fingers over the words on his newly arrived envelope- Green-eyed Beauty. This was it. His first letter from his Quill Pal. Eagerly he ripped it open and read his letter.
Dear Green-eyed Beauty,
Hi, I'll start by telling you a bit about myself. I'm 14 and am around 5 foot 8. I would say I'm good looking-short blonde hair and blue eyes and, as you can tell, I'm quite confident. What about you? I know you have green eyes, but how old are you and what do you look like?
I have two best friends but I hang around with a big group most of the time. I hate people who think they're so much better than everyone else, especially when people don't like them. I like the fact that I'm rich and also, there's this teacher at my school who's kind of cool. He likes me-but I'm not a teacher's pet, though some people at my school are total goody-goodies. I'm not sure what else to put-so just tell me a bit about yourself.

"Here, Ron! Come have a look at this!" Harry called. Ron came over quickly. Peering over Harry's shoulder, he read the letter Harry had received. After reading it, he wrinkled his freckled nose.
"She's a bit, uurr, sure about herself, isn't she?" Seeing Harry looking a little glum, Ron hastily said "But that's a good thing. She knows what she's doing in life. Won't let people push her around-that's good, in fact that's great. Besides, she's probably like a cookie-hard on the outside, but soft on the inside. She might open up to you once you get to know her a bit more". bit brighter, Harry and Ron re-read the letter when-
"Ronald Weasley! What on earth do you think you are doing!" Hermione's voice called out from the other end of the common-room. She was heading towards them with a stern look on her face. Ron groaned.
"We were just looking at Harry's letter from his Quill Pal. She sounds all right- really confident. Also, she's rich, which is a great bonus". Hermione frowned.
"Ronald, you do know that those letters are meant to be private, don't you?"
"Oh no, Hermione" Harry answered, "I showed Ron the letter. Do you want to have a look?"
"I most certainly do not!" Hermione replied igniantly. She turned and started to walk off, then turned back. "Oh, and by the way, would a girl really describe herself as handsome? Think about it". She gave them both a meaningful look, then turned and left.
Ron turned to Harry. "What did she mean by that?" Harry looked down at his letter then back up at Ron. "My Quill Pal-she's not a girl, I mean, he's not a girl. He's a boy."
Ron smiled. "Hey, at least you don't have to worry about you two fancying each other, you know- ooh she said this, did she mean it, does that mean he fancies me, why hasn't he replied yet, all that rubbish".
"Yeah, you're right," Harry nodded, "But, hey, I don't really care whether they're male or female. I can't wait for a good laugh whilst making a new friend. Besides, as you said earlier, he may open up to me. It'll be fun".
"Okay, cool. I'm going to see if my Quill Pal has sent me anything. See you in a bit". Harry called back "Okay, see you. I'm just gonna write back to him.
Dear Rich+Handsome,
Hi. I'm 14 as well. I'm around 5 foot 7. I have short black hair, green eyes (as you can guess) and I wear glasses. I also have 2 best friends- 1 boy and 1 girl, and I hang around with groups as well.
I agree with you about people who think they're better than everyone else. There is this boy at my school-he's rich and always brags and makes nasty comments. I've been under his sharp tongue many a times-we're like big enemies, from the moment he introduced himself. You said you're rich and confident as well, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
More about me…I love Quidditch, my wand, my memories and my friends. I don't see my family-we don't get on. I hate evil magic, and also a teacher at my school who's always picking on me I don't like either. I don't mind reading and I like learning new spells and making new friends. What kind of things do you like? Write back soon.
Green-eyed Beauty
Satisfied with what he had written, Harry put the letter in an envelope and went to send it off to his Quill Pal.
Ron quickly opened his first letter from his Quill Pal, Babe with Brains.
Dear Ginga-Ninja,
Wow, that's an unusual name-how did you come up with it? Anyway, I'll tell you a bit about me. I'm 14 with shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes. I have two best friends, both of which are boys, though I'm currently single.
It may sound weird but I like learning. I love learning new spells and tibits of useful information because you never know when you'll need it. The most important things to me are my family and friends. My parents are non-magical and I'm an only child but my best friends make up for the fact that I have no siblings. The three of us have been through a lot together. I honestly don't know what I'd do without them.
At my school, it's okay-not too strict, not too easy-going. The lessons are good, the teachers are all right, well-except from one. He hates all of us (me and my best friends that is). He hates me because I knew the answers to all his questions.
I've babbled on quite a bit, haven't I? Well, I've told you the basic info about me, so…please write back soon.
Babe with Brains
Ron smiled. This girl sounded totally cute. Honest and nice, clever but not a goody-two-shoes-perfect, even though he'd only just 'met' her. Picking up his quill, he quickly wrote a reply.
Dear Babe with Brains,
Hi, you sound really nice. How did I come up with my name? Me and my best friend made up names for each other, so it was because of him I got stuck with Ginga Ninja. Anyway, I'm quite tall with ginger hair and blue eyes.
Like you, I have two best friends-1 boy and 1 girl. I've been friends with the boy since we first met, but at the start the girl was really annoying and a big boffin, but she's not as bad now.
However, unlike you I have lots of brothers and sisters. We get on together pretty well. And my school? It's okay I guess. Like you we have this dodgy teacher who hates us, and also, there's this boy that's always treated me like a piece of dirt, just because his family's richer than mine.
I love my family, friends and Quidditch. It's the best sport ever. Anyway, I have to go to my lesson now, so see you later.
Ginga Ninja
Ron quickly sealed the letter in an envelope and went to send it off before his next lesson started. The pen pal programme was turning out to be very fun.
