Letters

by Laterose Vale

Ted and Andromeda never meant to fall in love. In Andromeda's case, she never meant to speak to Ted. But, they did, and they did it through a series of letters. These are the letters in question, donated by Andromeda herself, to help the uninformed better understand the weight of blood purism, and the idea that love can conquer all.

Dear 'Dromeda,

You write awful stiff, you know that? I know you told, or rather ordered, that I shouldn't reply, but you did verbally attack me. Speaking of, what's this "Considering my status" nonsense? I believe that my status is merely "single" or "middle class" or even "alive". Seeing as you're two out of three of these, you could only mean my parentage, which is much healthier than yours! I mean, look at your sisters! Your parents have more problems than mine, baby.

I think we need to set some rules. We patrol together. Not in the same corridor, but together. If you don't want to talk to me, that's splendid, but I have every right to talk to you. I won't call you an acquaintance, but since you never said I couldn't, I reserve the right to call you "friend". Ha! Thought you had me there, didn't you.

On the off chance you actually read this whole letter and didn't burn it, Merry Christmas! I really would like to actually talk to you sometime, blood purity or not. See ya' at school!

You Friend,

Ted Thomas Tonks
