Here's the second chapter! I hope you enjoy it. As I promised, it's 100% letters. Also, just in case there's any confusion, There can be 1 day to months between the letters. This is also just a selection of the letters they wrote. The actual correspondence was a lot more regular, but most of the letters were inconsequential to the story so were left out in the editing process.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter and probably never will. I'm saying it now for all the chapters in this story.
Dear Golden Secret,
Did you see McGonagall's face when Potter told her he hadn't done the letters? I really wish I knew who you were; it would make this whole letter-writing thing so much easier, anyway.
It's only a month into the school year and I've already got homework piling up. Professor Longbottom's class is the only one that I'm not behind on. He seems to understand that we have homework from other classes too.
I'm looking forward to the first Quidditch game of the season. Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff. I think it's going to be a close match. I would tell you which team I'm rooting for but that might 'give away which house I'm in' and then I would get in trouble. It's hard to talk about things without giving away who you are. Although, strangely enough, I've come to enjoy this correspondence.
Yours truly,
Silver Dragon Junior
Dear Silver Dragon Junior,
I did seeMcGonagall flip out. That was so funny. I felt a little bad for Potter too, though. I mean, it isn't like he's the only one not writing. I actually think we might be the only two still writing to each other. I understand that McGonagall was trying to create inter-house communication, or something like that but I wish she would just tell us who are partners are now that no one is participating any more anyway. Or I wish she would at least let us find out who our partners are.
I was sitting out by the lake today. The giant squid was floating on the surface in the sun and he had miniature turtles crawling all over him, it was so cute. I wish I could have taken a picture to send to you but I don't have a camera.
My house talks of nothing but the upcoming match. To tell you the truth, it's getting a little annoying. I love Quidditch and people I know will be playing, so I'm excited but you can only hear it discussed so much before it starts getting old.
I also heard a rumour that there's going to be a Hogsmeade weekend soon. I would suggest meet up there but I'm not supposed to know who you are. I can't wait until this assignment is over and I can actually meet you.
Yours truly,
Golden Secret
Dear Golden Secret,
When I walked passed the lake this morning I noticed that the giant Squid was floating on the surface. I stopped to see if the little turtle would climb onto its back but they didn't. I finally gave up on them and came inside when it started raining.
I know what you mean about Quidditch being over discussed. My house isn't that obsessed with it but it still gets annoying.
My mum just told me I'm going to have to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas. It'll be nice to have the common room to myself but all my friends are leaving, so I have no idea what I'm going to do.
Yours truly,
Silver Dragon Junior
Dear Silver Dragon Junior,
I'm afraid I won't be staying during the holidays either. If I tried either my mum or my uncle would come and get me. We have a very close family and the presence of every member is required for Christmas. We can still write, though. I'll write extra long letters and fill them with nonsense to fill the quiet of the common room.
One of friends is sitting next to me right now and making fun of me for still writing to you. She keeps joking about secret admirers. Friends can be so annoying sometimes. I just got into an argument with another one of my friends earlier this evening because she was calling you a creep. At least I know I have one friend who's there for me. Too bad I can only communicate with him through letters.
Yours truly,
Golden Secret
Dear Golden Secret,
My mum just wrote me today to tell me I will be coming home for Christmas and I'll be leaving a little early. Tomorrow, to be exact. My Grandma died yesterday, so I have to go home for the funeral. I'm not really upset, just confused. I know I'm supposed to be sad but I never really knew her. Whenever we got together as a family she always sat in a corner by herself watching the rest of us sadly and never saying a word. It was a little creepy. But she was still family and it'll be weird with her gone. Anyway, it might take a little longer for letters to get back and forth because they have to go all the way to my house and back.
I'm also a little confused as to why I'm going home early. The funeral is in the Christmas break.
Well, I've got to go pack.
Yours truly,
Silver Dragon Junior
Dear Silver Dragon Junior,
I'm really sorry about your grandma. It's always hard to lose a family member, even if she was creepy. My great-great-Aunt died a few years ago. All anybody ever did was complain about her but we were still sad to see her go.
I'll keep the letter short. Your family needs you right now. I just wanted to let you know that I'm here for you if you need to talk (or write).
I still wish I knew who my best friend was. Maybe we can meet up some time after Christmas.
Love,
Golden Secret.
