AN: I'm not going to put a disclaimer on every chapter. The one on the first chapter applies to the whole story. Also, thank you, XxThaliaxX and I-heart-Dramione for the 2 reviews that I got. If I get 7 by the next chapter, I promise to post 3 chapters at the same time next update. But no one actually reads this, so what the hell. Oh, and also, Gryffindors and Ravenclaws write first so that the other pen pal can then respond. To the story 

First Impressions

Dear D,

Hi, I'm H. I'm going to say a few things about myself, and you can too when you write back.

I love love love to read. Give me something to read and I'll read it with vigor. Except if it's one of my roommate's girly romance novels. I prefer mostly non-fiction, especially about magic. I'm a muggleborn (wait; if you are in my rival house, you probably hate muggleborns. Stop being so prejudiced. It makes me feel inferior. And personally, I am under the impression that I have more intelligence than some of the purebloods. But I believe in second chances), so anything about magic still fascinates me, except quidditch. It's a stupid and dangerous sport.

I am addicted to caffeine. Chocolate, coffee, tea, iced tea, anything. I live on it. I want to graduate with honors, so I am always doing extra credit and studying overtime, and I would collapse without the energy boost.

I like cats. They are very silent and clever. I've loved cats ever since I saw Alice in Wonderland. I loved the way the cat's smile remained after the rest had faded away.

I am best friends with H, R, and G. They are awesome! We've known each other since first year! We go on missions together too.

Well, that's all I have to say. Hopefully this will promote house unity and I look forward to your letter.

Your pen pal,

H

Dear B,

Hi, I'm G. Well, you probably know that. I've had a pretty chaotic life. I love going on missions (but that's a secret I can't tell you until I get to know you better), I have 2 brothers in jail, my mother is a scalper, and I have a pet harpy. Not actually. I have a million brothers (I'm the only girl) none of which are in jail, (though two of them are pranksters, and will probably end up there sometime) my dad works for the ministry of magic, and I have a pink pigmy puff. I just celebrated my 16th birthday (I skipped 6th year) with my best friend, H, my brother R, and my ex-boyfriend-who-I-am-so-over, H. My ex, H, forgot it was my b-day because we're just friends now, and when I reminded him, he gave me a quill. I have heard that Ravenclaws and Slytherins know good curses. Could you send some if you are in either house. I'm still mad. Thanks.

TTFN ta ta for now (got that from best friend H, she's a muggleborn),

G

Dear P,

I think it's kind of funny that I call you P. Do you have anything else I can call you? If I write weird letters, I apologize. I was affected a lot by the war, and my friend H has been trying some muggle therapy to help me. She said that I should write to a perfect stranger about me. I had an abusive, sad, loveless childhood. At Hogwarts, I've made a few enemies and I've had to deal with them from day 1, which ended in many trips to the hospital wing. By the way, I'm in Gryffindor, so if you're a Slytherin, please don't hate me. This is about unity, not grudges. I need a letter by Wednesday, because that is therapy day, and I'm supposed to show H your reactions.

Later,

H
