Can't Believe It (Nik)

[Deleted]

Niko,

So ... I don't know if Irina already told you what happened or if you read it in the papers, but I swear I'm letting you know first chance I get. I'M THE HOGWARTS CHAMPION!! I really don't know how I feel at the moment. I'm so excited and can't wait to see what happens, but at the same time I feel somewhat terrified. I wonder if the Goblet made the right decision choosing me, you know? Maybe I'm not smart enough or brave enough ...

But I still am pretty excited. It was thrilling to have my name chosen. I don't really know what else to tell you about it, so sorry this is so short. Let me know what you think about the whole thing! Can't wait to hear from you!

P.S. The other champions are Emile Chevalier from Beauxbatons and Elias Greyback from Durmstrang.

Dear Li,

Congratulations! I'm sure you're excited, I can imagine it to be a grueling and stressful thing to worry about, Li. But don't let it over do you! Get rest always, eat healthy, and make sure you're always on top of things. Professor Patil will help you out well, I'm sure of it.

Don't ever doubt yourself that way, Molly. Yes, I used your real name. You are smart enough, you are good enough. That is why the Goblet picked you. I am not sure who the other two champions are, but try to get along with them. You don't want any enemies during this type of thing. Sleep well.

Always,

Niko,

Thanks for the advice! I'm sure it will work out, I was just nervous about everything. You know, it was kind of a shock and the excitement comes with the nerves and stuff? Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm making any sense. Sorry about that. 

Just in case you don't already know, I am distance-glaring at you for calling me Molly. You don't have to use my real name for me to know you're serious. But you're right, about everything. Professor Patil is a big help and things seem to be working out just fine. I even got asked to the Yule Ball already! (yeah, I know it's super early, but I really don't care.)

You know me, I get along with everyone! Usually. Unless they're really rude or something. Still, it's going fine with them so far. I will admit, I'm not a big fan of interviews? Do you have to do many? What do you think of them?

Dear Li,

Glare or not, I call everyone by their full name when I am serious, as most people have nicknames from me. So continue your glaring, Li, I don't mind.

Already?! By who? What's his name? Have you known him very long? Does Irina approve? I'm sure you don't care, but be safe, yeah? And be smart. The ball should be a fun part of this tournament, not a place to just get into trouble.

Yes I do have quite a bit of interviews that I need to do throughout the years, and they aren't all that bad. Don't let the interviewer offend you or push you to say anything you don't want to; be honest, but don't give them too much of the truth as they do like to twist your words around. Hope you are well.

Always,

Niko,

You know, you're not supposed to like it when people glare at you ... oh well. You're too stubborn for me to be able to change your mind, no matter how long we've been friends.

Yeah so ... do you remember that boy from Beauxbatons that I had a huge fight with at the beginning of the school year? Well, ever since then we've been running into one another a lot and we've actually become pretty good friends. So he asked me the other day and I said yes. It will be fun to go with him. And don't worry about me, I'm not going to get into trouble. I don't think I can afford to, being the Champion and all. I just want to have fun. And Irina approves! I think. She hasn't said anything against the idea.

Thanks Niko. You're advice with that really does mean a lot to me. I think that's the part I'm most nervous about, giving interviews and stuff. I'm more excited about the tasks and stuff but interviews ... I guess we'll just have to see how I do with those. I think my Uncle Harry is going to help me get ready for them, which should help.

Dear Li,

I didn't say I liked it, I just said I didn't mind it! But you're right, I am pretty stubborn.

I do remember him...what exactly did you two fight about though? I'm glad you've found someone to go with, Li. You deserve happiness, and I'm sure being the champion is allowing that to happen! Don't stress too much, yeah? Let people help you...you'll need it.

And of course, you're very welcome. Interviews can be pretty scary when you first start them, but normally the person asking the questions makes you very comfortable and you'll get used to it soon. Just keep that pretty smile going for them, you'll do fine! And your Uncle will most definitely help, I wouldn't doubt him for a minute.

Always,

@annelise

Niko,

Well ... it was ridiculous and I'm not really sure how it happened. But he was bragging, telling me that he was going to be the champion of Beauxbatons and so I said the same thing back about me and Hogwarts. Then we started talking up our schools and I guess I said something offensive. (Don't ask me what because I really don't remember) SOO I offended him and he got all angry. I tried to apologize, but he was too angry to listen and after yelling at each other he ran off. Didn't I tell you about this when it happened? I thought I did ...

But, just to make sure you don't get worried, we've run into one another a lot since then and are actually friends, so it's not weird that he asked me. I'm really excited to go with him. It should be pretty fun.

Yeah, after talking to you and Uncle Harry and Madam Macmillan, I think I'll be able to make it through the interviews. Just keep an eye on the papers and let me know what you think about anything in there about me! (I'll probably be too scared to look myself).

Hope you're doing great!

Dear Li,

You told me very little. I didn't know what the fight was about or how it started though. All the same, at least you two worked out your differences. And now that you are actually champion, you can just rub it in his face.

I'll of course keep my eye out! Your most recent one in the paper is quite good, especially that you made note of making friends. Smart on your part. I am doing quite well, hope all is well with you.

Always,
