Apologies, Chase

[lizzy]

Dear Chase,

This is Catherine. Er-I just wanted to apologize. It may be to late, but-yeah. Um, I'm probably not the best Slytherin. I'm really not. And when I insulted Selena-she already forgave me. But knowing her, she'll probably pick on me more. She isn't that forgiving.

And I did like you. But it wasn't me so...I've given up on you. it must be a relief, you know, Catherine and Chase-no. Selena and Chase...now that sounds right. But disowning is a bad way to go.

This is so cheesy. Sorry you read this- sorry I made you upset at the Leaky Cauldron-I did, didn't I? And if I really were a Slytherin, I'd hex you, not plead forgiveness.

So I guess we're on the same page. I'm not as strong as I thought, and I won't be in the way of you two anymore. This should be a good year.

By the way, I'm still laughing about how you said I wasn't going to beat you in quidditch. Wanna bet?

Dear Catherine,

It takes a big man- or in you case, woman to stand up and say that what you did was wrong. And for that, I forgive you. What impresses me even more, is that you apologized to Selena also. I know you two used to be friends, but with the recent festivities, I would hope that your friendship has endured throughout. It is never to late to apologize, and you should never feel that you are bad at whatever you are trying to acomplish. You are your own person, and neither I, nor Selena, can change that.

I feel no relief at all, I had no clue that you had any feelings for me Catherine. But I must be upfront and honest with you, I do not, nor have I ever, had any feelings for you. I regard you as a friend and nothing more. Another thing to talk to you (or I guess I would be writing, wouldn't I?) I have never mentioned having any sort of feelings for Ms. Belvidere, and I know that she wouldn't return then even if I did. She is a Slytherin, I am a Ravenclaw. Those types of relationships don't work out. For Example, you know Lily Evans, don't you? I think she's the new Head Girl this year. Her and that Snape character used to be inseperable. And anyone with eyes could see that he was head over heels in love with her. Yes, yes, yes I know what your thinking, Evans isn't a Ravenclaw, but it's the same sort of thing. It was fine for a while, but everything then crumbled in on them. Now look at her, she smitted with James Potter, what has the world come to?

I was never actuallyupset with you, it was all for good fun. I didn't think that we would upset you as we did. And for that Iapologize. I should have let things get carried away. It was supposed to look like innocent flirting, I guess it didn't from an outsider's point of view. So, I ask for your forgiveness for that matter. This is not cheesy, it shows that you really are brainy enough to be in Slytherin. Any other person would have let it go, moved on. Maybe you should have been in Gryffindor, (and I don't mean to offend you in saying that) but you got more guts and courage than have the kids that were sorted into the house, y'know? I do believe that a bit of hexing would be in order, but since we are taking the repsinible way out, how about we just forgive and forget? Sound like a plan to you?

I would rather enjoy starting this year out as friends, is that okay with you? There is nothing to get in the way of, Catherine. We are friends, I think. And you and I can be friends, as long as you don't mind getting your butt whooped on the Quidditch Pitch, because, my dear. Ravenclaw WILL win this year. I will personally see to that.

Yours,

Chase L. Wilkins

Dear Chase,

Thanks. I agree with you, about me rather being in Gryffindor. My dad used to think that I was too much like a Gryffindor, he was actually afraid. He would lock me in my room and make me read all of these biographies of Salazar Slytherin. I would stuff those away under my bed and read my unknown-to-my-father How to Tease a Death Eater books. They really came in handy on April Fools, you should borrow them sometime.

I'd love to be friends. That would be great.

Am I really that courageous? I never knew! No, I would have written anyway. That's just me. It's who I am.

Forgive and Forget? Forget what?

Get my butt whooped? Are you challenging me? Ha, we shall see, my friend, we shall see.

~Catherine

Ha, Ravenclaw winning? I doubt it.
