Dearest Ted,

Please don't do anything stupid to Lucius, like don't try to break his jaw or anything. I understand your level of disgust but he wouldn't think twice at killing you on the spot, really. It's okay, this sort of thing is expected, I did dump the whole bowl of punch over his head after all. I knew there would be consequences, I didn't think it would be that; (I didn't think he lusted over me at all) but anyway what's done is done. Time to move on.

It makes me happy that you don't care that I'm not pure. In the pureblood society that automatically makes a girl untouchable, whether it was her choice or not. There are a lot of rules that the pureblood society has drilled into my head since birth. I grew up with them, but I never really believed in any of them. Not when I could start to think for myself, anyway.

My favorite food is pizza with orange ranch, mayo, and pizza sauce. See? I told you I was weird. A car is that thing with the wheels that drives around, right? No I have never been in one, but it looks like fun. So do those Muggle fairground things… Those things with that huge wheel and those other things that look kind of like trains. Do you think we could go to one of them one day?

As for central London, yes I have been there many times. There is a few wizarding places in central London that not many people know about. I've only been to the muggle parts of London a few times, however.

I will sneak off to Muggle London to get myself something nice for our date. Obviously, I don't have any Muggle clothes lying around here at all. I shudder at the thought of my mother or father finding muggle clothes in their house. I would be kicked out right on the spot. I think their expression would be hilarious, yet terrifying.

Your parents seem interesting, I think I'm going to be a professor once I'm done with Hogwarts. I'd like to teach Charms, what do you think? I believe I could do it, I got an outstanding every single thing I've written for charms ever since first year. Unfortunately my parents don't share my enthusiasm with becoming a professor. Especially now. They'll expect me to take the dark mark from the Dark Lord and serve as his slave now that I am untouchable in the eyes of any pureblood man. Ted, how can I do that when I don't believe in any of it? How are you any different than me, other than the way we were raised? I don't think anyone is better just because they've come from a pureblood family. For Pete sakes purebloods even interbreed so they can keep everything 'pure'. How is that right?

Now that I've rambling on for so long there's something I've got to tell you. It's kind of a big thing that I'm sure is going to make you go running for the hills, but you have every right to know. However, this is a BIG secret and you can't tell anybody about it. You have to promise. Okay? Also, I understand if this is a deal breaker for you, you really are exceptional but I get that you have limits too. Just please don't tell me it isn't and then say it is at the last minute – I don't think my heart can take that.

So these past few days I've been waking up really sick. However once I empty my stomach I feel perfectly fine. No after effects at all, no nausea. I'm glad I don't have a bug or something, but it scares me for what it means. I know you're a guy, so you probably have no idea what any of that means, so I guess I'll just have to tell you.

Ted, I think I may be pregnant. With Lucius Malfoy's baby.
