Letters Come and Go

[Kiera Kaster]

Kiera had just gotten out of a fight with Andy in the Great Hall. The girl had turning into a complete b1tch! Kiera couldn't stand the girl. She was insulting Kiera left and right. Kiera wanted to throw the wolf girl out of Gryffindor and into the snake pit that was Slytherin. Some sort of demon had taken over the girl's body. It didn't help that she was running around acting like some sort of floozy. Andromeda was not her friend.

Kiera hated confrontation. She was not good at dealing with fights though she never let the person she was fighting with see. Tears of anger ran down her face as went straight to the Owlery. She needed to talk to her brother. Cameron always knew how to calm her down when she was upset. Why couldn't he be here? Kiera called out to Pharaoh. She gave him a treat before giving him an owl. "Take this to Cam please." she said.

Cameron,
Can you please come to my next Brightstone weekend? I need to talk to you. Someone I thought was a friend is obviously not. Please come so we can talk. I miss you.
Love always,
Kiera

 

[James Potter]

An Owl Flew towards the owlery straight from London, this owl carried a letter from James Potter to Kiera Kingsley.

Dear Kiera,

I had some time and wanted to write to you so decided that now would be the best time, How's school treating you? I know your Head Girl now and your responsibilities have grown and with your NEWTS coming along it might be stressful. I hope you always know that you can always talk to me about anything. We just had our match against Ireland, we lost by alot but that okay we're still in the running for the cup. Hopefully we won't loose too many more games. Anyways, I've been talking with Ravyn and she's sure that there's a position on the Harpies for you if you want it, not that you have to take it. I just know that you like playing Quidditch and that you would enjoy playing on the same team as Ravyn. Hopefully you'll get to meet her soon, I also was wondering if you wanted to meet up during your next Brightstone visit or wherever you wanted too... I'll understand if you don't though.

Love Always, James

Kiera was sitting in the common room studying when she saw an unfamiliar owl pecking at the window with a letter in its beak. Kiera frowned as she opened the window and took the note from the owl. Kiera smiled as she opened the letter. She recognized the handwriting. It was from James. She read through it twice, a smile stretching across her face. She skipped up to her room to get some parchment for a reply. She wrote a reply before going to find Pharaoh. She gave him a treat. "James Potter please." she said before watching the Owl fly away.

James,

School is pretty good though I have so much work to do for all of my classes. You're right about having a lot of responsibilities. Alex doesn't want the job as Head Boy so that leaves all the work to me. Not that I really mind, it just doesn't leave much free time. Thank you for the offer to talk. I appreciate it. I hope you do get a shot at the Cup. I would come cheer you on, that is if you wanted me to. I've been thinking about playing Quidditch and I do love it. Maybe I could join after the Olympics next summer. I can't give up on my dream. I would like to meet Ravyn one day. If you like her, I'm sure she is pretty awesome. If you have the time, I would love to meet you next Brightstone weekend. I have missed seeing you. It seems like forever ago when I saw you play. I'll let you know the weekend as soon as I find it out. I hope you aren't busy then.

Love Always,
Kiera

 

[Kiera Kaster]

Kiera had been thinking for two weeks now about what she should do. She still wasn't sure what to do. She hadn't spoken to Alex much lately, mostly because she couldn't find him around. She really needed to tell him what happened in Brightstone before the article was printed. Kat and Alexis were right. Kiera had to tell him first, she only hoped she got the chance.

Kiera had decided to reveal her true feelings to James and see what he said. She was having a hard time making this decision. Kiera thought that maybe if she talked to James, she would be able to make her choice. Kiera carried a letter up to the Owlery. She gave it to Pharaoh. "Take this to James please." she whispered to the bird.

James,

I love you. You're right. I can't deny my feelings for you any longer, not that I want to.
I still don't know what I want to do. I haven't been able to talk to Alex. I haven't even seen him since Brightstone except for in class. I love him and I don't want him to be hurt by whatever that vile Cynthia woman is writing.
I just wanted you to know that I miss you.

Yours,
Kiera

 

[James Potter]

An Owl waited patiently for Kiera to arrive, this letter was special because it was from James but also had been written with a deep sense of urgency.

Kiera,

I just read the Prophet and I'm sorry, this is all my fault and I would completely understand if you never wanted to see me again after what Vandervoort wrote about you. I hope nothing bad has been happening to you because of me and I just don't know how saying I'm sorry could help make you feel better, I promise if you give me the chance I'll make it up. I wish this letter could be longer but I have to be going to practice Coach is yelling at me already, the next letter will be longer and I do hope to see you again.

Love,
James.

Kiera was not surprised to see an Owl sitting on her bed the morning after the article came out. She had been forced to stay in the hospital wing over night because she had been cursed by a hate letter. A couple dozen letters were scattered on the floor around her bed. No way was she opening anymore of them. She was about to shoo the bird away when she recognized the writing. It was a letter from James. Kiera quickly took it and read it. Her heart swelled inside of her. At least James still liked her. She sent the owl back with her reply.

James,
Its not your fault. I don't blame you in the least bit. You can't control what that nasty woman does. Your friend Erica sent me a letter. She made it seem like she can't help. How did the editor find out about last year? Also what was that note about the Cannons? I think I will die of humiliation if that evil Cynthia writes another article on me.
Apparently, you are greatly adored by the wizarding world. You wouldn't believe the hate mail I have received since yesterday. One howler went as far as to say that you were her man and I would have to go through her to get to you. I made the mistake of opening one of the letters. It was cursed. Another one started squirting burning liquid at me. I had to spend last night in the Hospital wing but I'm fine now. I will definitely give you the chance to make it up to me. How could I refuse you? When is your next break from Quidditch? I miss you.
Love always,
Kiera

 

[James Potter]

A letter arrived in the Owlery for Kiera Kingsley (Potter)

Good Evening Mrs. Potter,

I hope you are doing well, I'm heading off to Ireland for a few days but I wish I were with you instead. I miss having you around and can't wait to see you, let me know when the next trip to the village is. Not gonna keep too much of your time since I know you have alot to do, though I hope you keep me in your thoughts because your all I think about.

Love always, James.

 

[Kiera Kaster]

Kiera was twirling her fork in her breakfast when the morning post arrived. She had been feeling quite a bit of sadness at the separation between herself and James. As an unfamiliar owl dropped a letter in her lap, she quickly turned it over. Her name was written in James' familiar writing. Her heart rate increased slightly. Kiera smiled as she read the letter, especially at the greeting.

Dearest James,

I only have one problem at the moment and that's not being with you. I miss you with every fiber of my being, all that I am. Its hard for me to concentrate on anything I am doing because I just keep thinking about how much I would rather be with you than here at school. Flying is the only thing that can distract my thoughts, even for the shortest period of time. I will be so glad when this year is over so I will be free to be with you. Please be careful in Ireland. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you.

Forever yours,
Kiera
