Ray's Pov

It's been a while since 2nd year and like promised, L/n is helping me with potions by owling me tips and tricks. For some reason though, she hasn't owled Norman once. I wonder why? Norman seems upset and he keeps asking around the house if anyone has sent him a letter. Getting tired of his upset mood I owl L/n.

Dear L/n,

Thanks for the tips in potions. By the way, why haven't you owled Norman? He's getting quite upset and I'm tired of him being in a depressing mood all day, every day.

Sincerely, Ray.

A few minutes later a letter from L/n arrives.

Dear Ray,

I'm sorry for putting Norman in a bad mood. It's because I'm dying from embarrassment from what I did at the train station before it left (and no, I'm not going to tell you). Do send him my sincerest apologies but do not tell him it's because of last year.

Sincerely, L/n.

Ps. Start calling me Y/n, it's getting annoying hearing my last name over and over.

After reading the letter I call Norman to my room. He walks in and asks why I called him here.

"First of all, stop being emo. That's my job. Second of all, Y/n sent a letter and she says sorry for not owling you." I tell him. Norman seems surprised and he smiles.

"You're calling her Y/n. How strange~" He says in a teasing tone.

"Hey! Shut it! It's not what you think it is! I'm only calling her that because she said it was annoying hearing her last name over and over again." I explained. I feel heat rushing to my face and Norman smirks at me.

"Mhm, sure~ I'm gonna go owl Y/n now. Bye bye!" He turns and walks out of my room. I sigh as I look outside my window as I think about what Y/n is doing right now.

Y/n's Pov

I'm sitting on the couch talking to my father and I sneeze. When I continue talking to my father, my mother suddenly walks in..

"Welcome home, mother." I greet as I stand up and bow. Mother just nods in my direction before turning and talking to my father. I walk out of the room and go to my room. In my room I lay on my bed and put my arm over my face. I wonder why mother never talks to me like she does with father. While I'm lying down I feel a weight on my lap. I look up to see that it is my cat, Fluffy. I smile as I sit up and scratch his ears. Shelby joins him on my lap and I start petting both of them. I soon see Lily returning with Otus. Otus has a letter strapped to his leg. He lands on my shoulder and I untie the letter.

Dear Y/n,

Hi, it's been a while hasn't it? I think I know why you haven't been owling me lately, it's the confession right? You know I promised you it wouldn't change anything, right? You're always going to be my best friend. Everyone says hi as well. I was wondering if you wanted to meet us in Diagon Alley. Emma, Ray, Gilda, Don and two others you don't know will be there. You can bring Draco if you want to make yourself more comfortable. - Sincerely, your Snowflake for life

I gently place Fluffy and Shelby off my lap and go to my desk to write a reply.

Dear Snowflake,

Sure, I think I can go to Diagon Alley, I just need a date to make sure that I can make it.. Also, I don't think Draco will be able to come so it'll just be me, and don't worry about me being uncomfortable, I'm sure I can handle your chaotic energies. And thank you for reassuring me, I needed it. -Sincerely, Buttercup
