"Adeline!" Pansy called.
It was half way through summer.
"The OWL results have come. Let's open them together."
Adeline dropped her book and ran own the stairs.
"Which envelope is mine?"
Pansy turned the envelopes over and squinted. "Here." She passed Adeline her envelope.
"Okay, open them in 3..2...1..." Adeline took a deep breath.
They opened their envelopes.
Adeline read hers in her head

"Six OWLs?" Adeline smiled. "That's really good!"
"Not as good as you, most of my OWLs were just acceptable anyway."

"I got eight." Adeline smiled.
"And I got six." Pansy smiled.
"Wow! Well done girls! We must celebrate."

"I'm going to write to Draco, Luna and Neville now." Adeline told Pansy.
"Alright. I'll send my letters off now, and then as soon as Winnie gets back, you can send yours."
Adeline nods and runs to her room.
Dear Draco,
How are you? You're doing well, aren't you? How many OWLs did you get? I got eight and Pansy got six. Would you maybe like to meet at Diagon Alley this summer? I hope you're okay. It's a full moon tonight.. Good energy all around! As Gabby (the so called mother I used to have) used to say. Fingers crossed this letter finds you alright.
Love, Adeline. xx
Adeline sealed it with a wax stamp and dipped her quill in the ink again.
Dear Luna,
How are you? You're starting your OWLs next year, aren't you? I just got my results! I got a total of eight OWLs. Pansy got six. How is your summer so far? I haven't got much to talk about, sorry. How is your dad coping with The Quibbler?
Adeline x
Adeline sealed the letter and dipped her quill in ink once again.
Hey Neville,
How many OWLs did you get? I got eight and Pansy got six. Hopefully you got a lot, you deserve it. Considering how hard you tried this year. I'm guessing you got an exceeds expectations, or more, in herbology. You're good at that. Can't wait to see you in school next year. How are you? How's your summer so far?
Adeline.
Adeline drew a smiley face next to her name and sealed the letter.
"Pansy? Has Winnie come back yet?" Adeline asked, half an hour later.
"Yeah, he's in my room."
Adeline walked into Pansy's room and passed her letters to Winnie.
"Thank you!" Adeline called after him.
