"So." Mrs. Parkinson hung her coat up. "Dumbledore's dead."
"Yes, it's terrible.. Isn't it?" Adeline said.
"At least with Snape as headmaster, he'll favour the Slytherin's more than the Gryffindor's." Pansy rolled her eyes.
"Pansy! Don't say stuff like that. Your headmaster has just been killed." Mr. Parkinson shouted.
"Sorry! But you have to agree, Dumbledore favoured the Gryffindor's." Pansy shrugged.
"That's true, but only 'cos we're better!" Adeline ran upstairs.

Dear Draco.
How are you? Hopefully you're feeling better now. Just making sure you're okay.. After the 'incident'. Have you left the house yet? Been anywhere nice? We could meet in Diagon Alley over the summer- half the Alley's closed down though. Or are you busy? It's my birthday soon. 23rd August! I'll be of age then, like you. Maybe you could come over to celebrate?
Love,
Cubby. xxx

Dear Draco.
How come you didn't reply? Maybe you didn't get the owl. Winnie can be clumsy sometimes, come to think of it.. He was soaking when he got back last week, so he may've fallen in a lake and dropped the letter! Anyway, two weeks until my birthday! Reply ASAP if you're allowed to come around mine.
Love,
Cubby. xxx

Hi, Draco?
I'm sure you got that letter. Winnie wouldn't have missed two.. How come you aren't replying? Did I do something? Do you want me to leave you alone? Are you alright..? You're not ill, are you? Sorry for all the questions.. Less than two weeks now. Are you going back to Hogwarts this year? I am. Hermione, Harry and Ron aren't according to Ginny.
Cubby.

Draco.
Can you reply, please? It's been a week.. More even. I want to know you're okay.

Hey, Draco!
It's my birthday, you may not read, or reply to this, however it gives me comfort. I got a few presents, nothing much. They're all very expensive. In some way, I'd rather more meaningful gifts but it's still very nice. Please reply to this. I love you.
Cubby :).

Draco. We're heading back to school soon. I'm not expecting to see you there.. But I'm going. Just six days until school starts. Please reply. A simple word will do.. Just say 'I'm okay.' or something.
Adeline.

Draco.
Hope to see you.
Adeline.
Adeline placed her quill down, and took her hair out. Why was it that Draco never replied?
