Previously on Parchment and quills:

I reread the letter once more before folding it into a paper plane and leaving it out the window to fly to her. It wasn't until the letter flew out of my sight that I'd realized I'd written her actual name in the letter. Shit. There was no way to get the letter back now. I bit my lip, wondering how she'd react.

⇜Harry's Point of view⇝

Her letter came three days later. Three stressful days of worrying if she'd reply or not. When it did come, I opened it so fast that the letter itself tore into pieces.

Dear Harry,

Why did you call me Y/n? I'm not Y/n. I'm the most un-Y/n person you'll ever find.

So, Ron and Hermione haven't replied huh? That sucks, but maybe they had a reason? And for the record, we are not cheating! Tushill Tornadoes are totally better than Chudley Cannons. Even our name is loads better than yours. Chudley sounds like your daft cousin Dudley and Cannons? What are we? Pirates?

Well, I gotta go now. Bye.

-love you(not)

Someone who is not Y/n

So, she was kind of freaked out. But at least she was still talking to me. I sent her another letter.

Dear Y/n,

Oh, stop kidding me. I know you're Y/n. I've known for quite some time now. But don't worry, I like you for who you are. I don't mean like-like. Just like. Just as a friend I mean. You know what, I'll stop writing now.

-Love you(not)

Harry

Dear Harry,

Fine. You caught me. Happy? I am Y/n.

I wanted to remain a mystery:(

So how long have you known, then? Oh, stop being weird about this. I'm the one that should be scared to talk to you. You're literally the cHoSen oNe-

-love you(not)

Y/n

✃- - - - - - - - - -

Dear Y/n,

I've known for quite some time- halfway through last year, I think. It was fun watching you get annoyed when I hung out with you in class. And why would you be scared to talk to me? I'm just me. You can tell me anything you want. I'm using Hedwig now because we know who each other is properly. Tell me about yourself. And I'll tell you about me, though you already know me. I'm Harry James Potter and I'm fifteen. I love quidditch and play as a seeker. I'm in Gryffindor. My best friends include Ron, Hermione and you. Your turn ;)

-Love you

Harry

✃- - - - - - - - - -

And so we wrote back and forth, our 'Love you(not)'s turning into 'love you' s and formal greetings turning into casual greetings. Soon, I was taken to the Grimmauld place, and I couldn't be happier. Sure, I was angry at first but that melted away when I saw how happy Sirius looked to have company.
