Dear Ella,

How have you been? You haven’t owled me in a while and Harry, Ron and I were beginning to worry. How has your summer been? I’ve been a bit lonely to be quite honest, Harry and Ron are nice an all but I need some girl time too. Ginny says hi as well but she’s a bit busy with her latest boyfriend Dean Thomas, you remember him don’t you? So I’ve got no one to talk to.

I don’t know whether you heard or not but remember Fleur Delacour, one of the Triwizard competitors from fourth year? Well her and Bill are going to get married and let me tell you she is one annoying bird. Ginny came up with the name of Phlegm and I almost called her that to her face! It was horrible and Ronald would not stop laughing at me! He can be such a prat, Merlin knows why I like him. Anyways I hope to hear from you soon! I really miss you! Do you think you could come by the burrow soon? Owl me back with your response. Quickly please!

Yours truly,

             Hermione Granger.

I smiled as I read the letter. Ah it was nice to hear from my friends, I really missed them this summer. I still don’t understand how I was sorted into Slytherin, I seriously think the hat made a wrong decision by placing me there. I guess your wondering how I became friends with the golden trio? Simple really, in first year I was partnered up with Harry once in potions and we really hit it off. Eventually I became friends with Ron and Hermione as well once they got over the fact that I was a ‘bloody Slytherin’ Ron’s words. Even the twins and Ginny became close with me, but then of course this cast me as the odd one out in the house.

I grabbed one of my quills and a piece of parchment so I could write back.

Hey Mione!

I miss you too, and I have so much to tell you. How about I come over to the burrow tomorrow for a visit? Would that be alright? There’s something big that I need to tell all of you and I don’t know how you’ll react. Tell Bill and Fleur congratulations! I’m so happy for them, ah Ginny’s got a new one already? Wow she works fast, how are the twins? I heard they were doing well with their joke shop. I could use a good laugh right now, anyways tell Harry and Ron hello from me. I’ll see you tomorrow around noon!

Love,

    Aviella Darkin

I reread my letter before calling my owl. “Hello Artemis” I murmured affectionately, stroking her white head. My owl was a combination of a light golden brown, white and black. She was beautiful, in my eyes. “Can you take this to the burrow for me?” I asked, strapping the letter to her leg. She hooted happily before flying through the window. “Who’d you send that to?” Draco’s voice asked. I turned around and saw he was standing at the doorway.

“Hermione” I said, walking over to the closet to choose what to wear tomorrow. Draco scowled and followed me “You shouldn’t be talking to that filth” he said. I clenched my fists and turned around, giving him a hard glare. “Sod off Malfoy” I muttered, grabbing my bag and placing my wallet and a couple other things in there. Draco grabbed my shoulder “I’m just saying, you’re going to be a Malfoy soon. You should uphold the name” he said. I rolled my eyes and shoved him off. “Just shove off Malfoy, they are my friends and I don’t care if you don’t like it. You bloody git” I muttered, brushing by him.
