Dear secret admirer,
I'm glad you're okay, now onto your questions.
My birthday's 5th June 1980, meaning you're 9 months older than me. I'm also grateful to see that you are not a thirteen year old with a crush on me. You're a very interesting person, you know that? I grew up in my family's manor in Wiltshire, it was a beautiful place in my childhood. When my father would work my mother let me play hide and seek with the house elves as a child, of course that stopped when he found out as elves were not meant to be friends they are slaves. I had everything i wanted as a child that could be bought for me, but many things I couldn't have, like my fathers approval.
Anyways you had more questions didn't you, how do you know you're not my crush? I haven't given you her name, therefore no rejection as of yet. I think I may know who you are and I seriously hope I'm right, I don't believe your secrecy with your letters to be cowardly, the fact you sent the letter itself is brave in my eyes, I don't think id have the strength to do something so bold.
Yours D.M.
P.S. I'm sorry for such a slow reply, I've been having some rough times these past few days, my father is beginning to insist on my enthusiastic involvement. My forced involvement wasn't enough.
