The second that Hunter got into his room he found some parchment and a quill and started on his letter. There was so much he wanted to say. He wanted to tell her everything he felt about her. This was easier said than done. The words wouldn't come to him. There was also the fact that he was a wizard. She couldn't find out about that. After several agonizing minutes the decision came. Just wing it. That's what he had done with every other girl he liked.

Dear Hallie,
Like I promised I'm writing you this letter. I know it's weird, but it's the only thing I have. I really enjoyed being with you today, and I hope you enjoyed yourself, as well. This is really a pathetic excuse for a letter, but to tell you the truth, I don't really know what to say. There is something I want to tell you. I'm actually kind of scared to say it. I also know that there's no way that you feel the same way. There's no other way to say it, so I'm just going to go ahead and say it. I like you, as more than a friend. I know we just met, but I really feel different about you than I have with any other girl. Now you think I'm creepy and weird. You probably wont want to tell your boyfriend about this. Well, I guess I'll see you later, hopefully.
Hunter
PS: The owl's name is Dirk. He wont bite. He just likes to be petted.

Hunter walked over to his large, chocolate brown Eagle Owl named Dirk. The owl nibbled on his fingers, happy to finally be free of his cage. The letter was attached to the bird's leg, as Hunter set him off with the address. "And do try to hurry for once!" he shouted out the window at the bird. Dirk had been known to go on long hunting trips while delivering letters.
A couple of hours later Hunter was in bed, staring up at the ceiling with a thousand thoughts racing through his head. He really liked Hallie, but he would be going to Hogwarts soon. None of it really mattered to him anyway. She just had to have a boyfriend. There was no way around it. He missed her. That sounded weird, but he did. He had to tell her about Hogwarts and being a wizard. Would that be breaking the law? There was a rather loud tapping on the window. It was Dirk. Hunter sprang out of bed and opened the window. The owl hopped in excitedly and hooted. Hunter took the letter from Dirk, as the owl swooped out the window to go hunting.

Dear Hunter,
Thank you so much for the letter! To tell you the truth I didn't expect to get one. Sorry. I thought you were going to stand me up. And we just met. How could you like me after just that one meeting? How could you even like me at all? Honestly...I've never had a boyfriend before. Guys just don't like me. I really like you a lot, but not in the way that you like me. I'm sorry. I really hope we can continue to talk this way. I think it's really cool that you have a trained owl! For your information, I don't find you creepy or weird. You're nice and sweet. I also enjoyed this afternoon. I haven't had that much fun in I don't know how long. I'm not sure how quickly I will be able to respond to you. I need to be getting ready for classes to start up again, and then when they do start. There's something I want to ask you. What do you like about me? I know that's really awkward. You don't have to answer that if you don't want to. But if you do; don't lie to me.

Hunter smirked as he finished the letter. He folded it back up and set it on the dresser. There would be time to write back in the morning, but now it was time to finally get some sleep.
