Tracey Davis: March 13, 1997
Dear Christine,
You are my closest, most trusted friend, right? There is something I must tell you...or rather, something I must do first. I'm so used to telling you everything before-hand. Even now, I suppose it's out of habit.
You know my parents, how they don't like to openly pick sides? I'm sick of that. A person has a right to stand up for what she believes in, does she not? It may mean some people get hurt, but who ever got what they wanted by just wishing for it, by watching? I'm done watching. And I need your support right now.
I'm going to choose a side tonight. I've been watching someone enough that I think I know how. And I have to do it. It isn't for a noble cause, I'm not turning into a bloody Gryffindor. But, well, you know what You-Know-Who did to the families that refused him in the last War. If he hadn't been, ah, tricked, by Potter, He would have won. He's a survivor, relentless, always gets what he wants. You know how much I admire that.
I'm babbling. Just wish me luck, okay? And don't tell anyone. I'llhopefully see you when I get out of Hogwarts. I'm sorry your family made you stay home. I miss you.
Love,
