eternally yours ,, percy weasley (REWRITING)

" dear percy weasley,

happy new year! did you enjoy the holidays? i must say, it was quite a surprise to receive such a thoughtful gift. it almost makes me ashamed that I had gotten you quills. maybe a handmade garment would have sufficed but seeing as my craftsmanship barely can be regarded as subpar, i cannot. enough about me though, what else did you receive?

eternally yours, T "

" dear T,

happy new year. i did enjoy the holidays. most of it was spent studying for the upcoming o.w.l.s as well as looking out for my youngest brother ron. he and his newest friend, harry potter, are becoming trouble makers. it sadly seems they take after my other younger brothers, fred and george. i doubt you haven't had an interaction with the pair.  anyways,  i hope you have studied as well seeing as how they are desperately important for our future careers in the wizarding world. unless my theory of you being a half-blood is true and it would be easier for you to integrate into muggle society. 

i'm happy you thought the gift was thoughtful, to say the least. it should be me offering remorse in such a low-budget gift. unsurprisingly, my mother had no complaints about making an extra sweater and one for "my new friend". though i'd say we're more like penpals, not really friends. unless you would like to be friends, to say the least as i'm not sure i'm comfortable entering a relationship with someone who hasn't revealed their identity to me yet.

the quills were a nice gift. you are aware of my dedication to my education so it's quite thoughtful as well as useful, thank you. a handmade garment is not needed, seeing as my mother supplies many of those already. i had gotten a sweater similar to your own as well as a new muggle book. its a book on their fairytales, though they seem to be quite grim for children's stories.

i hope you got more gifts, I look forward to hearing from you once more.

yours truly, percy weasley"

tiara read the letter over with glee, her covered feet gently kicking the air as her abdomen hung off the bed. on top sat her closest friends, priya chatting to cass about their newest potions assignment while getting her nails painted. what had originally started as a bit of a rest and relaxation has tuned into utter excitement on tiara's part. that was just the effect percy had on her. or just the effect people had on her in general. see one thing about tiara is that she loved to love people and she loved to be loved. something about having a crush made her heart soar, the rush she got from talking about them, or the rosy hue that bloomed on her cheeks when she was teased about the person in question. she had felt this way about many people up to this point, she was fifteen after all yet this time she felt like she could see herself actually dating percy. it was almost fated in her head.

they had classes together, they had similar interests, and if she tried hard enough they definitely could be something, she just knew it. her wide eyes scanned the page once more before it was stiffly snatched from between her fingers. "hmph," cassiopeia read the letter and let a teasing smirk spread over her face. "my, my, here i thought we could have been boring you." the slytherin passed the letter to the ravenclaw sitting across from her as she fanned her hands, waiting for the fast drying nail polish to set. tiara sat up using her elbows, a clear look of annoyance on her face. "very funny, give it back." she held out her dainty hand as a freshly manicured one set the letter down gently in her palm. she swung her legs off the side of the bed, standing up to walk over to her trunk. opening the hefty piece of wood, she tucked the letters into a small box that she had created. she had gone as far as to hide the box under the weasley sweater that she tried to wear to bed almost every night.

"i find it funny that you're not at all concerned with your o.w.l.s, miss studious." priya remarked, staring at the fresh coat of clear polish over her french tips. "we all know how cassies family gets around exam time and i don't really care that much but out of all of us, you're usually miss above and beyond." her eyes flitted over to her smitten friend, the black girl playing with her hair silently as she avoided answering the question. both asian girls turned to each other, a knowing look in their eyes as their mutual friend giggled into a pillow on the floor. "how demure miss king, is our dear percival the reason your mind is slightly more relaxed?" a quiet but drawn out 'stop'  was heard from the floor before the three girls burst into giggles.

tiara king was a hopless romantic at heart. when she had a crush, the idealist side of her woke up. she had written poems, read more then she wrote, spoke fantasies into existence more than her favorite writers could. tiara king fell in love a little bit every moment of the day. her heart was a golden sphere and its rays descended upon everyone she encountered. she placed love into anything soft, leaving her heart open. tiara king was no stranger to relationships, being more familiar with love then she was with her own personality. being described often as a serial romantic, she liked lots and loved bigger, more passionately than anyone else she had ever known. she didn't know why she was so addicted to the rush of having crushes on people but she could describe the feeling as nothing less than pure bliss. caring for someone and their thoughts so much, getting closer to them, the smile that graces her features when she hears their name. yet she even could admit she had a problem (not that she would fix it). sometimes (most of the time) she got sad, she fell in love, she fell out of love, she grew tired, she got sad. rinse and repeat. she often found herself questioning if it was even love in the first place or just infatuation. she knew it was the latter yet placing her heart with them gave her a rush like no other.
