Writing to a Non-existant Home ((Joseph, Open))

Ruby sat down on a couch, sighing as she looked at the blank piece of paper on her lap. She grimaced when she thought of her step-mother reading the letter over her father's shoulder. What could she write to a family who honestly didn't care?
She chewed her pen as she looked at the fire, thinking of something to write. She hated writing home but her father wanted to know what she was doing, which was a surprise. So far nothing particularly interesting had come to mind.
Ruby looked back down at her paper, and began to write:

---

Hi dad,

Nothing's happening here. Everything's pretty quiet. Classes are good, nothing we haven't covered in America. OWLs are this year, in case you've forgotten.

How's Serena and the baby? I heard they were doing well. Which made me cry. I would be very grateful if you would poison her food for me. I'm honestly overjoyed to hear the baby's a girl. Lucky me, I get a baby sister.

I have to go to sleep now so I'm afraid I can't write more. Say I hate you Hi to Serena for me.

Your daughter,
Ruby

It wasn't enough, she knew, but she doubted he would care anyway. What she really wanted to do now was blow off some steam. She wanted to have fun. Like she used to do with her friends in America. She looked out of the window, remembering the good times they had in Florida.
Ruby heard someone come in and turned around.

Joseph walked trough study room, holding five big books in his hands. They were all about magic, actually. Mostly they concisted of Forbidden things. He was wearing a hat, like always and ignoring the fact, that it was impolite, he just sat down on one chair and laying books on the table, he looked at girl, who was writing something. "Hello," she said quietly. Now, as they were sitting behind the same table, Joseph would use a little talk.

Ruby smiled as she saw an unfamiliar Slytherin walk in. 'Hello back to you.' She grinned and looked at the books he was carrying. 'What's that? Are you reading naughty books?' She said teasingly. In reality, she was interested to know what they had in them herself. For some reason, Ruby had an unhealthy interest in all things concering Dark magic.

Joseph smirked and drawing books closer to him, he just stared at her:"These books are not for such a little girls like you, sorry," he said in a proud voice. He was a Junior death eater, so he HAD to read such books. Joseph looked up at girls face, on his face grin:"So... Who are you writing to?" he asked, changing the subject.

Ruby scowled at what he said. She didn't appreciate being called young. Perhaps it was time to alter her appearence slightly?

When he asked her the question, Ruby smirked and said 'What I'm writing is not for such old men as you. Sorry.'

She grinned and stuck her tongue out, before folding her letter up and putting it into a plain white envelope. She didn't have an owl, so she would have to use one of the school ones, which were incredibly slow and stupid. Ruby sighed at the thought of one of those ugly brown things carrying her letter.

Joseph lauged at her, turning head away.
"Man, if you're trying to act like a Slytherin, than you must try harder," he said in a laughter. Soon he stoped and looking at her, he offered his hand:"By the way, I'm Joseph," he introduced himself.

Ruby scowled fiercely at him. Why would she want to act like a Slytherin? They were annoying and evil and........very good at the Dark arts.

She shook his hand and smiled charmingly. 'I'm Ruby. Nice meeting you Jo.' She waited to see what he would say at her abbreviation of his name, wondering if she would get away with it.

Joseph grinned at her, showing his white teeth.
"And you're good at nicknames," he said, letting her arm go. He didn't even care about the nicknames people give to him. If Jo, then Jo. Those two little letters don't kill him.
"And you are Ru, I presume?" he asked, trumming with his fingers on the table.

Ruby shrugged and smiled. 'Ruby, Rube, Ru. They're all the same. Just don't call me Jezebel.' She said, looking at him seriously. A second later she threw her head back and laughed. Ruby could never stay serious for too long.
'So.... what are you doing with those books? How did you even manage to get them in school?'

Joseph grinned wryly:"Okay, Jezebel," he smirked even when she asked this question. "Well aren't we curious, huh?" he started laughing again, this time he sounded more cold than on the first place.
"Sorry, it's not your business," he said, looking with his light gray eyes at Ro.
