I hope you all enjoy this chapter. I know that it is taking time to get chapters for my other fics out, I am so sorry.
Enjoy this chapter, it was mainly a filler.
Chapter Three
To Harry
I know this will be a shock to you, and I hope that you do not think this is a prank. Please read this letter and try and understand how hard this is for me to write to you, when I don't even know you.
I do not want to tell you my name yet as I do not want you to be influenced by it, please know that I am sincere in what I write here.
I am what is know as a Niveuspenna, roughly translated, and more commonly know as a White Wing. When we are born, somewhere, someone else is born as well who will be our perfect match, our soul Mate, our Mate. There are three ways that we can tell who is our Mate. They are smell, hearing and sight. To me your smell was the first thing that led me to you. On the Hogwarts Express I smelled your scent, of tulips and wood, such a heavenly scent. The next was your voice, when you were talking to Severus Snape. It sounded like a waterfall, a tinkling type sound. I could listen to is all day. Someone had said that you were holding him, but I talked to Severus about it and he said that you were helping him. You are so kind hearted.
When I first saw you, you were waiting to be sorted, standing in the middle of the Great Hall. I could do nothing but stare at you. You glowed; no one else does that, no one but you.
When I first came into my full inheritance, when I was sixteen, I could not sense my Mate, and I became worried that I would be one of those that would wait years to find my Mate. Then, now at seventeen, getting onto the Hogwarts Express and I could sense you, I was so elated and happy. Thank you for being my future Mate, I hope I am everything that you ever hoped for in a soul Mate.
Yours Always
White Wing
To White Wing
It is a shock; I wonder if this is why I was made to come here for my last year of schooling. I have read your letter and am trying to figure out if it is true or you are playing a prank on me, especially considering that I am new to this school.
I would like to know your name but can understand your reluctance. If your name is well known then people tend to judge you before even meeting you and getting to know you.
I have never heard of a Niveuspennais there anything or anywhere I can go to find out more about your kind? It is nice to know what I smell like; it is kind of interesting, tulips and wood, both a little earthy.
I met Severus on the train, a nice young man don't like the way he is treated by some people. He is smart and has a sarcastic humour that I quiet like, it is nice when he makes these little comments about people, and he has me in stitches with them.
It is a little intimidating being the Mate of someone you do not even know; please tell me about yourself, I would love to know.
Yours faithfully
Harry
Dear Harry
I hope this letter find you well. You maybe able to find out about the Niveuspenna within the school library, please keep in mind that not a lot is known about my kind outside of the Niveuspenna families. I am truly not playing a trick on you please believe me.
In each letter I will try and tell you a little about my kind, the main one is that we are only even male. A female can be a carrier of the gene. My mother was one such carrier, my father was only half Niveuspenna. I am three quart Niveuspenna, my grandfather was full Niveuspenna, and my great grandfathers were as well, though it is not well known outside of my family. My father was only half Niveuspenna, as my grandfather's Mate was a full wizard. You need at least three fifths to become a Niveuspenna. Not many know if they have some Niveuspenna gene within themselves. It usually doesn't turn up until they have children and their child is a Niveuspenna.
It has only been a week since I found you, but I just want to sing and dance, with you in my arms. I have found my Mate, my grandfather mention once that he too had felt like celebrating and shouting for the world to hear that he had found his Mate. He was older than me when he found his mate he was almost thirty, though his Mate was from America. You are so wonderful, seeing you as you concentrate in class, did you know that when you don't get a spell first time you furrow your brow and bite you lower lip, but when you do that a little dimple appears on the left. It is adorable, I know I shouldn't cal you adorable, but I do find it like that.
You wish to know about me, well I will tell you a little but please, tell me about yourself as well, I would truly like to get to know my Mate.
My birthday is in February and is, don't laugh, on the 14th, I get a number of jokes about that when people find out. I love charms, they are helpful and useful, and some are quite good to use in pranks, there are so many different types and each one can have more than one use. What about you, when is your birthday? And what is your favourite subject.
I would love to know.
Yours Always
White Wing
To White Wing
I am well thank you, and I hope you are as well. I have been looking around the library, but as yet I have not found anything, but I will continue to look. It will be nice to know about your people.
I am not laughing at your birthday, truly, at least I shall never forget it. I enjoy pranks as well, I know two blokes, twins that are very good at doing so, I shall have to try a few things out that they showed me. It shall make for an interesting day if I do. My birthday is on July 31st. my favourite subject is Defence Against the Dark Arts, my father was very good at it, I learnt a lot. They have come is handy as well, at time. My father was a prankster.
My parents have both passed on, my mother died of an illness some months ago. I loved her so much, and I know she loved me. I am proud of my father, he was an Auror, and he died in the line of duty, though I do not know of the details. I just hope I will liveup to his memory. I miss them botheach and every day that I am not with them, but knowing that they loved me gets me through each day without them by my side. What are your parents like?
There is not that much to know about me.
Yours Faithfully
Harry
Dear Harry
I am well, through it is mainly because I have received a letter from you.
You wanted to know about my family. I shall tell you, something that no one knows about. I did have a younger sister, she was so beautiful, and full of life, always getting into mischief, with me tagging alone. When I was nine, she was six, it was the middle of winter and I was out, as were my parents, the nanny was supposed to be caring for her. She had fallen to sleep, and my sister had gone out side in the snow looking for me. When my parents and I returned home, the nanny was looking for her, we joined in the search and we found her outside in the gardens. She became so ill, and died a few days later. Selena was just a baby, and I miss her everyday that she is not here. I always wonder how she would have grown up, what would she be like now? She would be fourteen now, if she had lived. What house would she be in? I will always wonder.
Her death caused a rift between my parents. My father became more and more distant with the family, until he started to live in the Italian Cottage. I last saw him when I was twelve. My mother, I know loved me. But even she became distant, staying in her room, refusing to come out, or even let me in to see her.
It was my Grandfather Morris and Grandfather Kaden that I loved in my family. They died two years ago. Grandfather Morris was a full Niveuspenna, and Grandfather Kaden was his Mate. They were so wonderful, before my sister died, Grandfather Morris would pick us up and fly with us. It was such a wonderful feeling of freedom, every time he did that, it used to scare my mother something rotten. When my sister died, I went to live with them, my parents not being there for me. So we lived in the little cottage that Grandfather Kaden fell in love with when they were still young. I loved them both so much, and I still miss them, I still wonder how my father became so bitter when my Grandfathers were so loving. I don't think I shall even know.
What types of foods do you like? I love anything spicy. I usually add a little black pepper to my food, just to add a little more of a spicy flavour to anything I eat. Though I prefer the spicy foods because I was born in winter, all Niveuspenna born in winter love spicy foods. One born in summer would like the more sugar sweet foods.
Do you have a favourite book, I love Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Such tragedy, so much sadness, but then the underlying love between Romeo and Juliet, well I thought it was beautiful. I don't care if I sound like a romantic sap. He may have been a Muggle play writer but by Merlin he had talent. My Grandfather Kaden enjoy it as well, he took me to see the play before my sixthyear, to celebrate getting twelve O.W.L's. Maybe I will take you to see it one day.
Yours Always
White Wing
To White Wing
I am sorry to hear about your sister, she sounds like a wonderful little girl. I can tell from the way you wrote that you loved her very much. I don't have any brothers or sister. I did have to very good friends. Ron and Hermione.
I met Ron when we were eleven, and he became like a brother to me, very quickly. He was excellent at chess, could beat anyone I always thought. I was never any good at chess, but he was a wiz at it, always came up with the winning strategy. I met Hermione when I was eleven as well, she came off as some bossy know-it-all. I kind of miss her going on about studying. She is a Muggleborn, brilliantly smart, a little mothering and obsessed withleaning, but she became a sister to me when Ron and I had to rescue her from a Troll while we were up in Scotland camping. We were eleven; my mother said we had Dumb Luck. She was right. I miss being with them, and talking about anything and everything.
You wanted to know my favourite food, well, I love food. Any type really. Though I do like pancakes a lot, lots of lemon and sugar, drowned in lemon more like. Though I do like Shepard's Pie as well, though it has to be one that I cooked my self. I love cooking, I make a good Thai Curry, the red curry mainly, with chicken, coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves, curry paste and fish sauce. It is really nice. I enjoy it. Maybe sometime after we meet, I will be able to cook it for you.
Well, my favourite book, I absolutely love Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. I fell in love with the book when I was around seven or eight, I went to Muggle primary school and the teacher read it to the class. It always reminds me that things can be worse, and sometimes everything will be better than before. Unfortunately I lost my copy a few month ago, I shall have to get a new one soon, I miss reading it. I do love the classical books more than the modern ones. My friend Hermione got me to read Jayne Eyre, I have to say even though it is a book that I found a little more feminine, but I enjoyed it though.
Is there anything you enjoy doing as a hobby? I like to draw, though I don't think I am that good at the moment. Though I think I have improved since I first started. Maybe I'll let you see one of my drawing one day, and you can decided for yourself.
Harry
Dear Harry
I hope you enjoy the little gifts I have sent you. I am hoping that it isn't too forward of me to do so. I would love to try some of your Thai Red Curry, from what you wrote in your letter, it sounds delicious. I cannot cook at all, my Grandfather Kaden tried to teach me, because I had a habit of setting things alight. He banned me from ever setting foot into the kitchen, maybe you would be able to teach me a few recipes?
Hobbies, well I do like to write short stories, it is not something an ordinary wizard would do, but my Grandfather Kaden used to write stories as well. He helped me write my first one, I don't think I will even let anyone see them, but I do enjoy it at times, and it helps me get out when I am feeling, as my father frowned upon emotions being shown at any time. I love the Muggle world, my Grandfather Kaden would take us to Birmingham all the time, and my father hated it, and always refused to go. My Grandfather Kaden and Grandfather Morris used to try and get him to like Muggles but it never worked. They did pass it on to my sister and me. I love going to the cinema it is fun and so much more interesting, I just wish that we could get something like that in the magical world.
Do you like travelling? I love it, I have been to so many different places around Europe, but there is a place that I would like to visit. I would loveto go to Egypt, to see the pyramids, take a trip down the Nile. I think it would be wonderful, and romantic. Though I would like to go into the pyramids, they do a small tour with a Curse Breaker; there can be a few things when you go around the pyramids. I think there job is fascinating; I would loveto do it myself as well. It is one of the first places that had recorded history about our world and its interaction with Muggles, before we separated. Though only those with magic can see the hieroglyphics about it. Which is a good thing. What would you like to do when you graduate from Hogwarts?
Yours Always
White Wing
Dear White Wing
Thank you for the wonderful gifts of Jayne Eyre and Oliver Twist. I am already on chapter nine of Oliver Twist, I really do love the book. I can not thank you enough for sending, I have missed my own copies. My Jayne Eyre one had Hermione's little annotations in the margins. She did Muggle exams with it, I am thinking about trying to do the same as well. She wants to become a Legal Wizard, but wants to work in the Muggle world as well. I think she would be brilliant.
Writing, that is different, I have only heard of a few small children's books for little Wizards and Witches. I don't think I have ever seen an adult fictional book, done by a wizard. Do you know of any? If there isn't many then maybe that could be a carer opportunity, I think it would be really nice to be an author. Think about it. Do you write adult fiction or children's?
I would love to travel, I have heard from a friend that Egypt is wonderful, and rather fascinating. Though I would prefer to go to either Japan or China, I think the culture is fascinating and different than what is over here. I would love to see the Great Wall of China, Muggles were the ones to build it. Though at the moment, I would settle for a nice beach in Cornwall. I've never been to the beach, I've heard about it from my friend Hermione, but I would love to go myself.
I don't really know what I want to do, before I was sixteen I wanted to be an Auror, just like my father, but now I am not too sure if I still want to do that. I was talking to a Medi Witch, and she has gotten me interested in healing, I think it would be a rewarding carer choice. If I do that I would like to get a Muggle qualification as well, I think it could help bridging the gap between Magical and Muggle medicine. I don't think that Magical medicine can heal everything, just like I know that Mugglemedicine can't. So I want to get both perspectives.
I am becoming rather annoyed when I write, my hair keeps getting in the way. I am thinking about cutting it a little, it is half way down my back, I am thinking about cutting it to just below my shoulders. What about you, do you have long hair? And if you do, how in Merlin's name do you cope?
Harry
To my Dear Harry
I am glad that you are already enjoying the book, as for my own writing, I shall have to think about doing anything more than keeping it a hobby. I write adult, though I did write a few childish stories when I was younger. I shall think about it, though I would like you to read them and tell me what you think, and if they are good enough to publish.
I think being an Auror would be exciting, but after a while, it would become the same thing almost every time. I think being a healer would be the most rewarding thing in the world. Being an Auror would be rewarding as well, though dangerous, I suppose it could be exciting. But I don't think it would be as rewarding as being a healer and saving lives. I think you should follow your heart and do what would make you happy.
I think China and Japan would be great to visit as well. I love their history as well. I think that when we graduate, maybe we could go. As for the beach, I think it would make a wonderful place to go on a date, when we meet. A little time away from everyone here at the school, my Grandfather Kaden and Grandfather Morris took me to the beach when I was younger and we flew a kite, it was so simple, yet it was fun. I enjoyed it. Maybe we could do that.
As for the hair, I love your hair, it is so long and beautiful. My own is just about past my shoulders, and I will be growing it to around the same length as what yours is now. It is, of course, up to you whether you cut it or not. Just not too much, I am rather hoping that one day I will be able to run my fingers though it and maybe even to help you wash and brush it.
Yours Always
White Wing
To White Wing
I look forward to the day that I can read them, I have to say that you have my interest peaked about them. I have finished Oliver Twist and have started Jayne Eyre, I am going to have to go into Hogsmeadeto get some more books, I do like to read before I go to sleep. To curl up in bed with a good book, or even by the fire in the Slytherin Common Room.
What house are you from, I am from Slytherin, and because of that I don't get chance to talk to many of the others in Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Gryfindor, I would like to know more about the houses of Hogwarts. I know each has a founder and that they are prided for something, but no one will tell me.
As for the beach idea, I think it would be brilliant. I have always wanted to go, and I know there is a small beach area near here, I have yet to find it though. I will hold off from finding it if you promise that on one of our dates, when we meet, we will go down and have a little picnic on the beach, and you can teach me how to fly a kite, I have never done that before.
I have to agree with you about the Aurorcareer, it was something that I wanted to do to make my father proud, but since my mother became ill, I wanted to be a healer to try and help her. It is not possible now, but I still think it would be a worthwhile career. I know that my father would be proud no matter what I do, same withmy mother. I think I am leaning more towards being a healer than anything, but I know that I will need DADA in the future, so I want to continue with that and get my Mastery in it as well.
Harry
To My Mate Harry
I think that is a good idea, getting a Mastery in Defence Against the Dark Arts, never know when it may come in handy. I think personally that you would be best suited to be a Healer, though if you want to be an Auror I will support you. I will be joining that family business as soon as I leave Hogwarts, though it is more financial than a business.
We will go to the small beach, it is rather lovely in the summer months, a nice summer breeze moves through it. We have to get special permission to go there, as it is quiet a way, sometimes they do day trips for the younger years, though they haven't done that in the last two years. We should be able to get permission quiet easily as we are Seventh years. I promise to teach you how to fly a kite, though I would tell you know the only thing that can be difficult is getting it up in the air. When the wind catches it, it will stay up.
I don't really talk to the other houses as I too am in Slytherin. I have very few acquaintances within the other houses, and no friends. Hufflepuff are loyal to anyone they feel deserves their loyalty, a very good trait for healers I would say. Some Hufflepuff's have made excellent mind healers, that profession needs their traits for confidentiality. Ravenclaw make excellent researchers, they have the smarts for that. Gryffindors are normally Auror's or Unspeakable's. They have the bravery for it.
Do you havea favourite memory? Mine is when I was twelve, my Grandfather Kaden and Grandfather Morris made up some family emergency to get me out of Hogwarts for the day. It was my birthday. They took me to a Muggle theme park, called Drayton Manor. They even have a little Zoo type area. I loved it, they even had something called a Rollercoaster. It was like a broom ride, but you have no control, it was rather exciting. We have to go ourselves one of the days, oh and I heard from some Muggles that were there that there are places around the world, we have to go. I hope you don't mind.
So what is your favourite memory?
Yours Always
White Wing
Dear White Wing
Maybe there is a trick to getting the kite into the air, we shall find out together I hope.
My favourite memory is from last year. It had been raining for almost a week, and we had a little dry weather, so me, Ron and a few other went and played Quidditch, Hermione was watching us, she doesn't like heights that much. Well we had finished, and Dean had been ploughed into the ground, no broken bones, just covered in mud. Ginny, Ron's little sister, was laughing at him, so he decided it would be fun to through mud at her, since it was wet, everything was muddy. Well, Dean may have a good aim when it comes to hitting a Bludger, but not when it comes to throwing mud, it missed Ginny and hit Seamus. He was not too happy, and threw a mud ball back at Dean, it hit and splashed onto Ron who was standing next to him. Well that started a whole load of throwing and we ended up having a mud fight. I had a picture of us all when we had finished, a friend called Colin was the one to take the picture, I don't know if I still have it with me. I shall have to look through my trunk.
You know I have been using a new potion for my eyes, it only lasts for twelve hours, but it makes our Duelling class so much easier. Severus is working on making a permanent correction potion. I have been getting a load of comments from people though, most of them are saying that they didn't know that my eyes were green, or that they were so bright. Did my glasses really hide my eyes away so much?
You haven't told me that much about the Niveuspenna recently, is there anything else that I should, or would like to know. I have only truly heard about Vampires, Werewolves and Veela in all my time within the Wizarding World. As My family wanted me to know what the Muggle World was all about, I spent eight years living like a Muggle, along with my family. The didn't even tell me that I was a little Wizard until I was eleven.
Harry
Dear Harry
It sounds like you and your friends have had a lot of fun with that mud fight, maybe one day you can try and get some of the Slytherins to loosen up and have a little fun with a mud fight too. I know I will be the one taking the pictures.
I have to admit your eyes do seam so much brighter now that you barely wear your glasses, though your glasses do have a certain charm about them. I have never needed any glasses, though I still have people commenting on my eyes, which are a bluish colour.
I am so sorry for not writing more about Niveuspenna in these letters, well, here is an interesting fact. When a Niveuspenna is between the ages of 6 and 8 he will sprout wing, they will be white, this is the only early indication that he is a Niveuspenna. They will only be white this once before a Niveuspenna becomes mated, this is to show that the Niveuspenna has a destined mate, and that they have been born. When I went through this stage, my wings were black, which is why I thought I was destined to be alone. It has confused me since I met you, as here you are my Mate, yet when I was a child it seamed like my mate had died or had not been born. Maybe you know what it was all about and will tell me.
When this will only last around a week, sometimes only a day or two, mine lasted for three days. They will reappear again when we reach sixteen, they will be black, showing that we have not mated, that we are pure. When we have mated with our mate then they will turn white. My wings are still black at the moment.
You talked about Quidditch, do you have a favourite team, and do you play a lot? My team is the Holyhead Harpies. They only have witches on their team, but they play spectacularly.
Yours Always
White Wing
Dear White Wing
Thank you for telling me a little about the Niveuspenna, I have heard mention about a book called The White Wing Truth, by Richard Blanca. I havegone to several places and they all tell me the same thing that the book is rare and over five hundred years old. The only way I could get one was from a family that wished to sell theirs, though I have asked around a little and havenot been able to find anyone with a copy.
You wings sound fascinating and gorgeous. I hope I will have chance to see them soon, I have come to look forwards to the letters that you send to me, I do not have anyone else that can send me any mail. It is the highlight of my week.
Well Quidditch, I love to play seeker, and my friends say that I am pretty good, my father was a natural flier, and everyone says that I take after him in that respect, though I am never to sure. I have always enjoyed any time I could spend playing Quidditch, or even just flying such a great sense of freedom you will never get anywhere else. I don't really have a favourite team, though I do like Puddlemere United, my friend Ron is a great fan of the Chudley Cannons. I'm not that much of sports fan unless I am the one playing, seeing someone else playing makes me want to play myself.
Harry
Read and review, tell me what you all think so far.
