Dearest Athena,
You'll never believe what just happened. I was sitting in the Great Hall, drinking my morning pumpkin juice when the little Wheelbarrow girl came up to me and told me that she was sorry that my best friend got sent away. This news was, of course, quite startling so I asked her to elaborate. Apparently you were sent to Azkaban for murdering someone or something. I could barely believe this because even though you had been missing for a few days I figured you had been living in the boys dorm and excessively shagging Kendall or something. But, alas, the full page picture of your face across the prophet (which by the way was a very nice picture of you, love) made it pretty clear that in fact you were guilty. Not just guilty but caught.
I must admit that hearing from some random fifth year about your... situation... was a bit insulting. I mean, how long would it really have taken you to write me a letter or stop me in the hallway and just have been like "Oh hey, I murdered my mother so I might or might not be headed off the prison for the rest of my life. Just thought you should know." Just common courtesy that is. But on the other side I see why you probably wouldn't want the whole world knowing about it. The whole getting arrested thing is rather embarrassing. But if anything can murder with style it would be you.
I'm hoping to hear back from you soon, darling. I know for a fact there's nothing exciting you can be doing there all locked up. Unless of course you have a rather handsome cellmate. But the food must be terrible, and the fashion even worse. No offense intended but I'm glad I'm not you right now, I don't know what I would do without caviar and four inch heels. (Just kidding, even back at school all I eat is muffins and rice pudding. Not exactly five star around here). So yes, write me back immediately and tell me all about it. The prison I mean.. Not the murder. I'll visit you as soon as we get a break in studying and I'll keep you informed on any exciting developments in school. Romantic or otherwise.
Hoping You Are Well,
Mira.

Mira,
It didn’t seem pressing to tell you, oddly enough. I actually had other things on my mind. I suppose it was just put on the back burner for a while, though it was quite swift; impressive really, for the Ministry. I didn’t actually expect to receive a letter, from anybody really. I suppose that’s a side-effect of being an orphan with an absentee extended-family. It’s difficult. The people here like letters, though. The ever-observing guards feel it’s somewhat ‘therapeutic’. I prefer the term ‘cruel’ or ‘sadistic’; take your pick. They dangle the real world in front of us; hold the “ha-ha-ha-ha.” One of the guards is looking over my shoulder as I pen this to you. He’s incredibly ugly. A large hooked nose and awful crooked teeth. He smells disgusting too. Oh good, he’s gone. I suppose he’s offended now. What a shame.
Azkaban is large and dark and dank and horrible. What else do you want to know? I really don’t want to think about it anymore than necessary. Bad enough I live here. Do come and visit sometime, won’t you? I’m bored to tears, though I don’t know whether I earn those privileges. Who knows? I don’t actually have a cell mate. I get one all to myself - lucky me. My would-be cell mate died, helpfully. I took the blankets from the other bed so I am quite warm during the nights. The only regrettable thing is that the bed is both cold, damp and just...disgusting. Not to mention the sheets, they’re terribly scratchy. Then again, I suppose there is nothing that is to be done. It is punishment after all.
I would kill for some strawberries. Then again, ‘kill’ is probably a bit distasteful considering...but still. I wouldn’t even want to eat them. The colour would be relieving enough. Oh well.
Write back. Fill my time. I’ll die of boredom before the Dementors get me.
Enjoy school,
Athena.

Athena,
As I've been searching for things to tell you I've realized just how little actually goes on at this bloody school. As it's almost the end of the year we have been given amounts of homework that I really don't think are necessary. Mum is not pleased that my grades have started to drop (yes, maybe choosing not to do my homework for a few months was a bad idea). But what can I say? I have a month left before I'm done with school forever and I really don't think filling out charts on the life-cycle of the flutterby bush is the best way to spend my time. It would be much more suitable to.. I don't even know. See? With you gone even I'm becoming painfully boring.
I'm not sure how much you can see from your cell but the weather is getting better. Quite a bit of rain. That's a bit disappointing only because it's so warm and we all want to spend free periods out on the lawns. I've even seen the first groups of students starting to swim in the lake. I have to say.. a few of them still need some work before swimsuit season. A couple days I've thought about jumping in myself but it's just not as fun. Remember that one time last winter that we went in completely naked? We practically froze and scared quite a few people but it was still amazing. If you're allowed I'll send you some pictures of the place. To put on your wall so you can perk up the cell, which sounds dreadful. At least you've got the extra blankets.
When they let you out come strait to me. We can make you the biggest feast you've ever seen and you can sleep in a real bed. You have any idea when you're supposed to be freed? I bet you're counting down the days. So am I. I'll have to come and see you sometime soon to give you some company. Has anyone else been down to visit? Kendall or Cilla?
Keep you head up,
Mira

Dearest Athena,
Pardon my indelicacy. I don't mean to offend. It will just take a little getting used to.. this. I'm sorry about all of the rain. It seems a little insensitive to put prison in the middle of a hail storm. Almost like they're rubbing it in. But I wouldn't think they would be smart enough for that. Parchment as a weapon? I would like to see that. I'm sorry if my letters have given them cause to worry. That wasn't my intent in the slightest. I hope you are still eating and no one has joined you in your cell (loosing your extra blankets would be the very definition of awful.) As for the idea of actually picking up a book.. I'm shocked at your boldness. The very idea offends me. I refuse. Let me know if anything new or exciting occurs. I'll keep an eye out for anything exciting about school.
All of my love,
Mira.

P.S. What I wrote wasn't too troublesome was it? I thought it sounded within the boundaries of the law. But I have been known to misjudge things from time to time. But I must say, if you're ever allowed into functioning society again, you would be an excellent addition to the ministry. Your code creating skills presented an unparalleled challenge. It left me with several sleepless nights. But to answer your question - I don't really know. I've been searching for him the last couple of days but I haven't seen him yet. I have a couple questions I've been meaning to ask. As soon as I get in touch with him I'll ask about your.. housing situation. We can trust him. Right?
