Like passing notes in secrecy

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Will. “Not the biggest castle” is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I’m sorry, I love you, but there’s no such thing a small castle. Like, a small castle is still ten times the size of the houses that most kids probably grow up in. Put your feelers out! Since you have contact with more people than I do. I’m going to be glad to be outside of the castle. I love Hogwarts, I really do, but I think I’m going to go a little crazy. Odette has a boyfriend, and I wouldn’t want to intrude on their personal space. And also – well, you’ll find out soon enough.

Yes, Andy’s dating Phil. How do you know him – just from both being in Gryffindor? Well, he’s dating Andromeda Lestrange. She’s great. I think they’re really good for each other. Loving someone is crazy and weird, and it can do powerful things, but changing people, like you said, is a little silly to expect. I’m glad we agree on this! Even though it doesn’t really matter that we agree.

Aww, poor Will! I don’t ever want you to cry, even if you were kidding. It’ll be easier to teach you patience when we can actually talk in person. Maybe.

Yes, the one with the marshmallows! Wizards don’t seem to like the game like, at all. Probably because magical marshmallows do weird things. We’re going to play Chubby Bunny together. You can’t escape it.

Wait, who do you know? I don’t want to gossip about people that you don’t know. Otherwise it’s boring.

I’m still waiting for my surprise. I’m holding my breath.

Dear, Jamie

You'll always have my vote of confidence. Even if you were being sarcastic. Awe, come on! For my life it's not that big! You have to accept that I was raised differently if we're going to be tossing around friendly 'I love you's'. Just accept me for who I am. Hah! Turning your own words back at you now.

OOh, Odette has a secret. I don't really care to find out that much, but I guess I will just see anyway. When the time comes.

Andy... I vaguely remember her, not really. Phil and I played Quidditch a little together. He wasn't on the team yet but he wanted to be so he was around the pitch. I'm glad they're happy. Hey- Hey- It matters to me that we agree. Not that it's a deal breaker that we do agree- whatever this 'deal' is I'm speaking of... I'm just trying to confuse you. Is it working?

Hey, crying can be good. And yes, patience lessons and Chubby bunny. I'll add this to my list of things to do next time I see you. With you, I mean.

I know most of the Gryffindors and most of the seventh years... but not all. Who cares if I don't know them? Hah.

Hopefully you won't have to hold your breath too long. Heads up, I'll be really busy when I get up tomorrow, on the 31st. I'm sorry if I don't write.

Love,

Will

I was not being sarcastic! I am not the best at sarcasm, no matter what I might make you believe. How about someday I show you the place where I grew up, and then you can see what something that’s actually a small place to live. I understand that we were raised differently, but you have to understand that most people haven’t even seen one castle, let alone enough to be classifying a castle as ‘large’ or ‘small’. Also, we did not toss around friendly ‘I love you’s, I did! Stop taking credit for my work.

It’s not that big of a secret. You’ll definitely see eventually.

Take my word for it, she’s amazing. I’m really excited that things seem to be going right for her. It matters to me that we agree, too, but I am rather confused about what deal we may or may not be breaking…Oh well!

Crying can definitely be good. I tend to cry a lot. Well, not a lot, but more than the average person, I think. You have a list!? Should I be making a list, too? Because there are a lot of things I need a partner-in-crime for.

Well, my brother, Adrian, and Lily Potter finally seemed to have realized that they love each other, so thank Merlin for that. Let me see, what else… Oh! Anna Weasley’s dating some French boy, I hear, and her sister also might be dating someone? Lucy went to the Ball with one of the Creeveys. Asa, I think? It’s like the Yule Ball finally made everyone get their act together.

I can hold my breath forever. It’s fine if you’re busy – go do your princely – sorry, Sir Lordly – duties.

Dear Jamie,

Mhmmm. Sure. Suuuure. Deal, then. We can show each other where we grew up. I do understand that most people haven't had a castle-- okay, I will shut up now. About that. Ooh! Well, I signed my letter 'love, William' so can I have... partial credit?

Ah- busy morning, sorry. I don't know when I'll have time to write. I have your letters and this response in my pocket - hence why it's in pen. Sorry if it's crinkled.

We'll figure out a deal for breaking or not breaking later.

Speaking of crying, haha, it's funny that I read that just then. Susan was freaking out about this speech she had to give this afternoon - I talked her through it and she did great. I almost cried just watching her just now. I slipped to the back to write this, but they need me again. First- nothing wrong with crying a lot. Or more than average.

I'm back! I will be leaving to pick up Claire soon. But yeah, we need to make a list! Mine is just in my head right now. Oooh, what kind of things do you need a partner for!?

Wow. True love, adorable. I know Lily, of course, hard not to. I think I do remember Adrian. He was a beater for a while? Anna and the French boy that sounds lovely. Don't know Lucy that well. The Yule Ball did a lot of great things, I think. Like running into you. Or rather, dancing you into passing out and carrying you.

Ha. Ha. Knightly duties work too.

I'll see you soon. Going to get Claire now so I'll be busy at the ball. I will read your reply tomorrow! Or late tonight, depending when you send it.
