My dearest, Harthwood.

It has been twenty-two of the most dreadful hours spent away from you, my heart!

You are the rhythm that my soul lacks, your laughter the music my ears miss, your smile the sun I cannot see, for my eyes are clouded by tears of sorrow!

I do not believe I can survive without you to keep me afloat, my beautiful, Harthwood.

I am sitting by my bedroom window penning you this letter, aching to be with you again.

Do you miss me as I long for you?

It is no surprise that I am miserable without you. For you, Adelaide Violetta Gwenivere Harthwood, are an enchanting creature of pure beauty!

My world revolves in your orbit.

You are a goddess capable of commanding an army!

Oh, how I shall count the hour, minutes, seconds, until we are together again, and the birds will sing with joy!

Thinking of you constantly, forever and always yours, James.


P.S. What is your favorite colour?

Dear, James


It's not yet been two days and you are already lonely? What a social Gryffindor you are!

And I honestly don't know how Remus deals with you and Sirius being such over-dramatic idiots.
You shall find a way to survive in my absence, love.

I'm certain that your parents are pleased to have you home. Or perhaps not?

You can be hard to handle all at one time.
I can picture you sitting at your tower window writing, and in my mind you resemble a fairytale princess, wishing for someone to save them!

How do you know my full name? And how am I not surprised that you do?

Collier just got home from America yesterday, he was there to see a few of his Quidditch mates who play there.
He brought me a mug that says "Welcome to the Big Apple"
I believe that's a thing muggles call New York, but I forget if that is correct.

He says hello (Collier that is), and is happy you finally bucked up and asked me to be your girlfriend. Please ignore him.

He also threatened bodily harm if you hurt me at all. As did Papa, Luis, and Phillip. Ignore them all. I do. Maman says hello to you!
That is a lot of counting, don't get a headache!

And, James...

I miss you as well, love.
Yours forever and always,
Adelaide

P.S. My favorite colour is green (but hazel is a close second).

What is yours?
