OUR DARLING D

Chapter 12

JoKer,

Classes has been a joy to be in, there are so many interesting things to know! I know, such a Ravenclaw thing to say, but still!

A competent teacher in DADA, too! Imagine that. I never liked the past professors, my tutor loathed Lockhart with a passion and prohibited me from opening any of his books or listening to any Lockhart achievements. I guess the only thing he's great at was memory charms and that backfired on him, how ironic. My father was forced to read one of Lockhart’s books and he didn’t punish me for my grades in his subject, all because I showed him what our assignments should be. My mother scoffed and spread it to other mothers, which means Lockhart’s reputation is gone along with his memory. It would do him some good, I think.

I quite enjoy Professor McGonagall's teachings, too. She gives out points indiscriminately and even though the Head of House in Gryffindor, she sees us as students first then from which House we are (although I noticed it's not like that during Quidditch). Professor Flitwick is very intelligent as well, I would like to duel with him sometime but I'm not yet good at it so maybe in a few years, perhaps you’d like to help me think up some tactics?

Which classes are you most excited for this year, JoKer?

Are you having fun?

How are both of you, I wonder.

Yours,

D

JoKer,

I'm free from two incompetent watchers! Isn't that good news?! I am so glad they were fired, they're a waste of galleons. How could they be so obvious about it and harassing me. They did an invasion of my privacy and even had the gall to corner me and threaten me. I sent the memories with the help of Professors and they were severely punished accordingly, which serves them right.

I know, I know. You want to prank them. Giving their names up, you'd know who I am.

I'm not ready for that yet, I'm sorry.

I was going to write 'goodluck with your studies' but I guess you're both procrastinating again. Study, please.

Yours,

D

JoKer,

I forgot but a month ago, we had this subject. I know both of you are older so please tell me you’ve had had Care of Magical Creatures or I don’t know, still taking it. Hagrid, the gatekeeper of Hogwarts (as I assume you both know since you’re part of his Rooster Protection Squad) is surprisingly the new teacher.

A hippogriff was our first subject, merlin, how shocking was that to see such a magnificent creature in front of you? If I hadn’t encountered one before, I’d have approached it rudely and end up having scratches.

I am so happy to tell you that it approached me willingly! How’s that for first subject adventures?

Yours,

D

JoKer,

It's a month nearing Christmas and I'm missing both of you

JoKer,

It's nearing Christmas soon, how are both of you? The snow is falling relentlessly and the cold is unforgiving. I'm quite blessed the common rooms are so warm, the classrooms too. The hallways though? My chocolate stock depleted because of the energy I have to use in order to maintain warming charms from head to toe all day.

Can you make me a portable sun? In return, I'll make you a portable rain, I'm quite skilled at water spells.

If I send a letter... Will you write back?..

I'll understand if you don't want to. It's okay, too.

You both were hurt about me abruptly ending our friendship and I apologize for that.

Yours,

D
