Hey, how are you? Sorry I didn't answer your last letter sooner. I had to go out and get some work done. You go to Hogwarts? Oh, so do I! What classes are you going to be taking? I love school, well, actually, I think I mean that I love learning. I also love to read. Right now I'm reading one of my favorite books called "The Call of the Siren." I absolutely love it. What do you like to do in your spare time… you know, hobbies?
Write back soon,
Mystery
Hello. Wow, I just have to say… about last night… that was… amazing. How did you learn how to dance so well? I've never met anyone that's been able to dance like me before, I mean as well as I can, and you just… did. Do write back soon.
Dancing Queen
Hermione carefully folded and sealed both of these letters and gave Silence's to Moon, who took of into the night. She then wrapped the hair she had gotten from the guy in the club around the second letter and put it on her desk, while she stared off into the bright full moon.
Draco looked up from his desk when he heard an owl come swishing in and drop a letter on his desk. It was from Mystery. He opened it excitedly and read it before he began a reply.
Hey love, what's going on? It's no problem, I'm just glad you wrote me back. You go to Hogwarts too? Awesome! We'll be able to see each other soon then, we start back September 1. My classes… hmm well I don't know all of them but I definitely know Advanced Potions, Ancient Runes, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Advanced Herbology. You love learning too? Thank god! None of my friends like learning they are all idiotic and they just learn the least they need and then most of the time forget it when they're done. Hmm… I don't think I've heard of that book… But I do tend to read a lot of fantasy, which amuses me, because we are wizards and witches!
In my spare time I play Quidditch, work out, and I dance some as well. What about you? Your hobbies? And classes?
Silence

Oh, you're right, only 32 days left till school starts. We'll have to arrange a meeting time soon after we get there then, won't we? What a coincidence! I'm taking all those classes too! This is so wonderful and yet creepy at the same time. It is kind of funny that we like fantasy books, and, yes, they're definitely my favorites. My spare time? I mostly like to read, and I like to dance and listen to music, all different kinds. Especially, well, I do have to admit this, but I like Antha Stellera. She's a horrible singer, and such a tramp, but I can't help it.
I have to go run and get some stuff
Mystery
Suddenly an owl came swooping quickly in and out so fast he couldn't see it, but when he looked there was a letter on his bed, and it had his hair around it!
"It must be that girl from the club!"
He opened the letter, read, and smirked. I mean, who DOESN'T like something about him? he thought to himself.
You were really impressed by my dancing then weren't you? Yeah, I love to dance, and I love music, all kinds. Dancing makes me… just let go of all the tension in my life, ya know? Like Antha Stellera's song, " Bewitch me, baby, one more time"… it really is fun to dance to; it has a fantastic tune. Dancing and music can express all different kinds of emotions, and that just suits me I guess. Haha. Do you specialize in any kind of dancing? You were good, I'll give ya that. Do you have a favorite music?
Dragon King
Draco hurriedly signed the letter and sent it off with Midnight to the temptress who he now knew as Dancing Queen.

Hermione hadn't had the chance to answer any letters in a few days, she had been… occupied. So now she painfully sat down at her desk, patted Moon, and looked at the letters on her desk… wait… letters. More then one.
"That means my dance partner had answered me" she whispered, in too much pain to be excited.
She opened the letters. The first was from her friend… "friend" she thought to herself… Silence, and the second was from the guy at the club.
I can't take it anymore; I have t tell someone... Bloody fucking hell I HATE my uncle! You've asked me before in your first letter what he did… well… I haven't told anyone this, who would I tell?, since the beginning of summer he, he, ::tear blotches on letter:: …Well you need to get the whole story. Basically, my parents left like the day after I got home, and my uncle Paul has been living here for a few months while I wasn't at school. They left him in charge of me and he, he… HE RAPED ME! He bloody raped me the first week I was home, and he beats me whenever I do something wrong, and he rapes me at least twice a week! ::tear blotches:: I can't take it anymore. I need help but I have no one to turn to…
Mystery
Hermione hastily signed the letter as she cried, for she knew of no other way to tell Silence besides just bluntly saying it, and the pain was fresh. Her uncle had not liked that his bed wasn't made just right, and he… (a/n omg prick!)
Moon flew off with the letter as Hermione opened the guy from the club's letter, and what she read made her smile weakly. She carefully placed it next to her as she got parchment and quill to respond.
Hello there. I've never had anyone compliment me on anything, so thank you. I don't specialize in any kind of dancing, I just know all kinds. I love basically any music, from American country to pop and rap and rock, although the last ones are easier to dance to. Haha. I love listening Green Day a lot, but I've never seen them perform. I know they've done a lot in America though. (Pah stupid Americans… they have the worst person to lead them and what happens? Do you realize what a field day the American Ministry is having? Horrible horrible time trying to control the outrage of some of the wizards there... They need some serious help; they do.) Antha Stellera, you say? Now that's amusing. And who doesn't love the Weird Sisters? Wish we had more bands over here, but yeah. I just love music and love dancing, what more can I say.
And sorry I took so long to respond. I had some inopportune things that happened last minute.

Draco had just come out of the shower after a workout. He was dripping wet and of course, as only he would, was admiring himself in his mirror as the water slithered down his toned body. (a/n OMG ::squeals:: hotttnesss :P ::drool:: no nakedness yet girls). He turned and saw a white owl fly into his room and recognized it as Moon, Mystery's owl.
"Moon!" he called to her, she flew to his shoulder and held out her letter.
His eyes widened in horror as he scanned the page…
HE DID WHAT? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? Bloody hell! I'm gona kill him. His own niece? I'm SO sorry! I wish I could help you! Ugh, I can't believe we still have another month left before school starts… The only thing I can say is that I'll be there for you, and I can't understand your pain, but I do understand pain. My father used to beat me and use the Crucius curse (a/n spelling?) on me like every day. And he drove my mum insane… literally. She was just admitted to St. Mungo's as a permanent patient. Oh, I do hope you'll be ok, and I'll always be here. We can share our pain, as much as it hurts us.
Stay strong

Hello, I just wanted to know when we might be able to meet at The Green Dragon again. I mean, that dance… that snog… (which I did not initiate) was just amazing. I want to see you again, or as much of you as I can in those lights. I do want to see you again. When can you make it to the club?
I wont be able to send you any letter for a little while. There's some stuff I need to take care of.

Draco turned down the music when the mysterious owl flew threw his gym quick as lightning again and dropped off a letter. He hadn't gotten one from Mystery or Dancing Queen in almost a week, and he was wondering what had happened to them.
It was from Dancing Queen, and he eagerly sat down and replied.
HEY! I haven't heard from you in forever! What's been goin' on girl? Yeah, I would LOVE to see you again at the club. What do you mean YOU didn't initiate that long snog we had? Hahaha liar. You wanted it ::Draco smirks to himself. He knows that she wanted it as much as he did:: But I would definitely love to go to the club again. I haven't been out since that night. How is Saturday for you? That gives us each an extra day, because its Thursday right now. Think on it love.
Later girl

Hermione hurriedly hid all of her letters as she heard her uncle come up the steps. He burst into her room just as she had sat on her bed with a book open.
She looked up to where her uncle stood, a menacing grin on his face.
"I'm going away for a few days, you pathetic child. I will be home Saturday by midnight; breath a word of this to your parents and next time you won't get away from me alive"
With that her uncle turned fast on his heel and headed back out the door, slamming it hard behind him. Hermione jumped an inch or two not expecting it.
She dropped the book on the ground and lay down wearily on her bed, a small smile played upon her face.
"A few days to myself, no beatings or rapings. Just peace and Silence" She quietly said to herself, trying to contain the happiness that threatened to break out through her voice.
She closed her eyes lightly; sleep soon took her into its wraps.
A knock on the window startled her and she sat bolt right up in bed. Getting to her feet she slowly made her way to the window and was greeted by a black-grey owl.
She opened the window to let him in and he swooped over to her bed and hooted happily, holding out his leg waiting for her to take the parchment that was attached to it.
She gently untied it from his leg and unrolled it. A giddy feeling bubbled in the pit of her stomach as she scanned the content.
"he wants to meet me!" she said excitedly to no one as she jumped up and down on the spot. Quickly she hurried over to her desk and scribbled out a letter.
Dear DK
Tomorrow (a/n Saturday) sounds great! This should be so much fun! I'll see you there around 10ish?
Looking forward to seeing you
DQ
Draco looked up as Midnight flew into his room, shaking off the powder that Draco had covered him in to make him dark grey. He takes the letter from him and says, "At last I'll be able to see the dancing girl that has bewitched my heart."
… And when the sun rose the next morning, she awoke, but her world was dark …
hoorah! thanks to Siren's Voice and Alias mel for helping me with some stuff, and all my reviewers are thanked as well. I would stay but I must go off and study some notes for school stuff… :P
