Curiousity Killed The Cat (Hannah Abbott)

My Hannah,

I know—I’m sorry for thrusting this onto you now. And in a letter! Just take a deep breath, Hannah. I mean if you look at it…It was only logical that we’d develop feelings for each other. Look at Ron and Hermione; Harry and Ginny.

I don’t ever want to let you go, either. I refuse to. The Ministry just can’t up and pull some bullshit like this!

Run away with me, Hannah. We can live in the Muggle world. I study them; they aren’t that bad. They get along pretty well for not using any magic. We could do it. We can have a house, we can get married… Please. We can do it.

I know how you feel. I want to kill him. I mean, you’d be living with him, sharing a bed. Being..intimate. I just..can’t think of it, or I’ll be going to Azkaban. The future children? We’d be in their lives… A lot of kids have separated families. Just think, it would be like they had four mums, and four dads. If our pairings got married to someone else, that is.

I want to see you as soon as possible. Whenever you can, just floo over to my house. Or I can go to yours. I can’t wait. I have to do something that should’ve happened a long time ago.

Yours Forever,

Ernie

Ernie,

As magical and glorious running away with you sounds…I just don’t think I could do that. I love being a wizard and we can’t just give up everything we’ve worked for by running away! We’ve spent our time at school training to become powerful wizards who can do good for the world and who should be prepared for anything…

I know this is hard but we are strong enough. We WILL find a way through this. We have to…There is no other possibility.

Please…come over…now…I’m alone and I need to see you. Seeing you will make everything that much clearer.

Always yours,

Hannah

Dearest Hannah,

Please don’t try to tell me how I feel. It’s insulting to me, and you know it. True, this new law is making me think of things, and has also caused me to overthink, but I know that my love for you isn’t a product of this…blasphemy. I’ve loved you since our first year, and I’ve known it. I just never wished to tell you, because I was so frightened of ruining our friendship. It never seemed like you fancied me, so I didn’t do anything. The only thing I’m doing now is beating myself up for not taking that chance that could’ve saved us being matched to people whom we don’t really know, nor love.

I’ve been praying to whatever gods are up above us, that we’d be paired together. Because that means it’d make things so much more easier. I wouldn’t have had to put myself out there, like I’m doing now. We’d be married, and have a perfect little life together, where we’d have kids, a house.. I hoped we’d get paired together, because I know that you’re what I want in my life. As more than a friend.

I don’t know what to do, either. We have to get married to our chosen partner. But the idea of another person…touching you. I want to hex them out of this world. But please, please Hannah. Don’t tell me how I feel isn’t real. More than insulting..It hurts. For you to think that I don’t really love you?

Love (yes, love),

Ernie

Ernie,

I’m sorry if I insulted you, I didn’t mean to…it’s just this is all coming out of NOWHERE. I never imagined you liked me and I’m just shocked with all of this all happening. I am overwhelmed and lost.

Does love matter though? Is it enough? Because I know I love you and now I truly believe you love me too. I mean love was the magic that kept Harry alive when Voldemort tried to kill him. Maybe it’s the most powerful thing…and if it is do you think we should do something about it? I know I don’t want to ever let you go. Ever. Especially now, we need each other.

I don’t love Oliver. I don’t know Oliver. And I can’t think of you with another girl. God. I already hate this Kendra person and I don’t even know who she is. It’s always been Ernie and Hannah.

I want to be with you…In every way possible. Physically, Sexually, Emotionally, and even legally…It saddens me to know that this will never happen. If this lasts forever…What about my child? What about your child?

I don’t want to think about it now. I don’t know when we can meet up…I have to meet Oliver soon…When works for you? I need to see you. I need to be in your arms. I have been waiting to express my love for you for a long time and I don’t want it to only be through letters.

Always yours,

Hannah

erniethehufflepuff:

My dearest Hannah,

I feel like a coward, for saying things like this; in a letter. I’ve prided myself on being able to confront people—you know this. But I just can’t face you after what I’m about to say.

You’ve been my best friend for years now. Eight years, or there abouts. And I can’t imagine my life without you in it. You’ve always been there for me to talk to, and I’ve never had to hide anything from you, in fear of judgement. You know me inside and out, better than anyone. And I like to think I know you that well, too. But there’s one secret I’ve never been able to confide in you, in fear of ruining our friendship. I feel so stupid, waiting this long to tell you. And I’ve missed my chance with you. This stupid law! I’m being forced to marry someone I don’t even know, nor love. When I told you I’d rather it be you, it wasn’t only for convenience.

I have had a crush on you, since that day on the train, the first year. Where you came tripping into my compartment (I think you were even MORE clumsy back then, if possible!), and you landed on me. You stayed in the room the entire trip, and we’ve been best friends since. I’ve adored you from afar, but I could never tell you in person. I didn’t want to risk our friendship. I knew I loved you—REALLY loved you, in our fourth year. Do you remember? That was the Tri-Wizard Tournament. We were even closer then, hardly ever leaving each other’s sight. I think we even fell asleep together a couple times, too!

You were my date for the Yule Ball, and to all of our Hogsmede trips. We fought along side each other during the war, and you’ve changed my life, Hannah. I love you, even still. But we’re being forced apart by this law. Instead of letting it come naturally to us, I’m forced to tell you through this letters, hoping that I’ve somewhat conveyed how I feel.

Justin said something about you fancying me in school, but I think he was pulling my leg. I just..Really hope this doesn’t make you and I awkward. I value our friendship too much for that. But…I had to tell you. Before this whole law thing.

Love always,

Ernie

My dear Ernie,

I don’t even know where to begin and I can’t fully express myself in a letter so please, bear with me. For some reason I have been romanticizing the idea of me being paired with you since the new law passed…I have romanticized it so much that I started to truly believe it would happen. I was disappointed when instead I was paired up with Oliver…Not that there is nothing wrong with Oliver! I just…got my hopes up I guess, which was foolish of me.

I guess I should respond to what you just said…about being in love with me. You don’t know how long I have waited for you to say this…I have loved you since Hogwarts…That being said, I don’t think you truly mean it. I’m not saying you’re lying I just think that there are a lot of emotions and crazy thoughts going on with getting your pairing and it’s not as comfortable and reassuring as me. So you just think you’re in love with me.

God. You know how I said above that I’ve been imagining us together since the new law was passed? That’s not true. I have been imagining us together since we first met. For so long.

This is so hard. I’m so confused. I can’t think straight. I don’t know what to do. I truly don’t. I love you…I just don’t think you really love me. Not like that at least.

Love yours truly,

Hannah

Y-yeah, I did...With a girl named Kendra. What about you?

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 23:10:12 -0400

Oliver Wood. Do you remember him? I don’t know if I remember a Kendra…Was she in our year? I don’t even know how to feel right now. Everything is happening so quickly it’s a bit overwhelming.

Hey you ok?

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 23:08:53 -0400

I’m not sure. I mean I’m sort of in shock. I was hoping it’d be someone I was comfortable with…Not that there is a certain someone I mean I guess I just mean in general…

Hannah Abbott. How have you been? I haven't seen you in ages.

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 23:07:11 -0400

Ginny Weasley. It has been such a long time. I would love it if we could catch up!

Hannah...

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 23:06:44 -0400

Ernie…Did you get paired? I um…I got paired.

Erm...hey Hannah.

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 23:05:58 -0400

Hey Oliver! So erm…I guess we’re going to be married. I don’t even know your middle name! I guess we could start there…

Dear Miss Abbott, As I’m sure you’re aware, a new law has recently been passed at the Ministry of...

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 23:01:05 -0400

Dear Miss Abbott,

As I’m sure you’re aware, a new law has recently been passed at the Ministry of Magic. This law requires all muggleborn and half-blooded witches and wizards between the ages of 17 – 35 to be paired with a pureblood of the opposite sex within the same age range. The reason for this is to increase the population of the Wizarding world and to prevent our kind from dying.

You have been paired with Oliver Wood.

You and your set partner are required to marry within three months after receiving your pairing, and produce a child to contribute to the increase in population of the Wizarding World.

With kindest regards,
Kingsley Shacklebolt
Minister of Magic

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:42:06 -0400

….Oliver Wood….

All that I know about him is that he was quidditch captain…

Is this for real?

Ernie’s knee was bouncing a bit as he waited for his friend. He tried to keep the blood flowing, so he wouldn’t completely freeze. A nice warm butterbeer sounded wonderful right now, and he licked his lips. Hearing the familiar CRACK sound of apparation, he glanced up. A broad grin came across his face as he saw a little blonde-headed girl stumble and nearly fall flat on her face. He stood up, reaching out to help steady herself. He was laughing softly, eyes dancing. “Well hello to you too, Hannah!” He piped.

He was about to comment on her tripping, before he noticed the finger and her warning. He rolled his eyes and tilted his head. “Alright, alright” He said, holding his hands up in defeat. “No making fun. But you’re just as clumsy as I remember,” He said softly. He moved his arms around her torso, squeezing her to him tightly, burrowing his face into her hair. He pulled back to smile down at her, and nodded. “Good to see you too. It’s been far, far too long” He grinned. He ran a hand through his hair, giving her another tight squeeze, lifting her up a bit.

“Now,” He cleared his throat and laughed. “Shall we go to one of the places around here, or do you have another place in mind?” He asked curiously, raising a brow. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “So, how’s those young teenagers droaning on about their boy problems?” He poked her side. “Remember those days?” He laughed. “I kinda miss ‘em.”

Hannah couldn’t help but giggle as she lifted her up as if she was nothing. Ernie made her feel young again and she couldn’t help the giddy mood she was always in when she was with him. Everything about their relationship seemed natural and she knew she didn’t have to be anyone but Hannah Abbott with him. She messed up his hair right before he put his arm around her shoulders and she naturally leaned into his pull.

“Hmm…Well…I say we start off at the Three Broomsticks and we can see where the night takes us. Honestly I could use a good Ernie and Hannah adventure. Especially after we get some drinks into our system…and I don’t mean just butter beers.” She replied with a smirk as she skipped off in front of him leading the way to the familiar place. Hannah whipped around and waited for him to catch up as she linked arms with him.

“Well…I wouldn’t remember those days seeing as I never had boy problems and you were pretty much the only person I hung out with and YOU didn’t have boy problems.” She gave him a serious look “Unless…You were hiding your secret boy problems you were having.” Hannah laughed. “But seriously. I have yet to have major boy problems. I mean…I haven’t even had a boyfriend yet and they expect me to get married and have a child all in the year? It’s crazy.” She bit her lip. There have been a few boys who had potential but she never liked any of them more than she liked Ernie. They just didn’t feel as comfortable in her lifestyle. “Er…How about you? Any girlfriends?”

Waiting for this pairing is killing me! Hope she's nice..

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 16:48:41 -0400

Er..I…

It’d be easy with you. Like breathing. Since we know everything about each other already. If we were forced to get married to anyone, I’d want it to be you, definitely. But I’m just…Not ready to get married right now.

Hmm…Yeah. I guess I’m not ready to get married either. My thoughts are currently just focused on WHO i’m going to be paired with. It’s scary…Well…Whatever happens we’ll always be friends right?

Waiting for this pairing is killing me! Hope she's nice..

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 16:24:02 -0400

I really wouldn’t mind being married to you either, Hannah. ~~I’ve always had a secret crush on you.~~

I wish WE were in charge of who we married. Do you think…if we got to choose…that you’d ever ask me to marry you?

Waiting for this pairing is killing me! Hope she's nice..

erniethehufflepuff:

I kind of hope we get paired together. At least we’d both know we’d get along.

erniethehufflepuff:

Shoving his hands into his coal-colored jacket, Ernie Macmillan made his way out of the ministry out in to the rather chilly day in London. He had been owling back and forth for the last few hours with his longtime friend, Hannah Abbot. Truth be told, he had very much missed her, as they hadn’t talked in a while. After the War ended, he had been busy getting his own career started, while he assumed that she was doing the same for herself. It was a bit of a shock to find she was working as a measly librarian. And at Hogwarts, no less! He did love that school, and had been devastated at seeing it so torn down after Voldemort was killed. He had dutifully spent many hours along with others to build it back up to it’s original state.

He ducked into the alley way, and quickly apparated out of the are, being sucked through that little hole with a loud crack, and appearing moments later just outside of Hogsmead. He smiled to himself and strolled forward, eyes searching around for that familiar blonde head of hair. He moved towards the center of the little village, and sat down on a bench, letting out a puff of air as a particularly harsh gust of air blew over him, turning his face slightly red with the cold.

The last few weeks, he had been a little stunned by the new law, and debating on who he’d end up with. As the different lists of pairings had been put up, he’d let out a sigh of relief to see he was yet to be matched. He had a gut feeling that he’d be on the next one, though. After the Ministry paired again, he’d have to get married in three months. He was still unsure, but knew he couldn’t live away from the Wizarding World forever. Though he was fascinated by Muggles, the idea of no magic was absolutely horrifying!

For the past three hours Hannah had to endure listening to two fourth year Gryffindor girl’s gossiping and talking about love. One was talking about how much she was in love with her boyfriend and how it’s the real deal. Hannah couldn’t help but laugh at their obliviousness. Now that the new law has passed love doesn’t matter anymore and it’s a waste of time to date. You’ll just end up getting heartbroken.

“Alright you guys. The library is closing, out you go!” Hannah pushed all of the students out of the library, trying to hide her annoyance. Working at a library had its pros and cons…Pros were that there were endless amounts of books for Hannah to read. Cons were…well…everything else. At the end of the day she always found herself tired and grumpy and today was no different. At least she was going to meet up with her dear friend Ernie after.

Even though they hadn’t been keeping in touch for a while Ernie was the one person who could always brighten her day. It’s been that way for years now and he always had a special place in her heart. She grabbed her wand and muttered security spells and hexes over the whole library before grabbing her jean jacket and purse and apparating to Hogsmead.

Although she has been apparating for a few years now, she still wasn’t quite used to it. Hannah appeared in Hogsmead, stumbling, almost falling down, and left completely breathless. To her dismay she apparated right in front of Ernie who was sitting on a bench watching the entire thing. She immediately blushed before sticking her finger out at him.

“Don’t you dare make fun of me. I have had a long day listening to teenage witches drone on and on and on about their boy problems. Don’t test me.” She warned before a smile appeared. Hannah wrapped her arms around him, smelling his familiar scent as she looked up at him with bright eyes. “Good to see you, Ern.”

This pretty much sums up our relationship.

Fri, 13 Jul 2012 13:56:59 -0400

This pretty much sums up our relationship.

Hannerrr. ;D Come play with meee.

Fri, 13 Jul 2012 13:54:29 -0400

YAY! Daphne. I would love to. What are we going to play? Wizards Chess? ;)

Hah, does that mean I'm paying for dinner? Where are you working now anyways? I can't remember! What time do you get off? I'll pick you up?

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:56:11 -0400

I work at a library…I barely have enough money to pay for a chocolate frog! I’m working at the Hogwarts Library until I find myself a better job. You do remember what Hogwarts is don’t you? It’s a big, big, big, castle where little witches and wizards go to gain knowledge. Ring a bell? =P Yes please. Come pick me up. I could use myself some Ernie time.

Seeking Answers || Ginny and Hannah

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:52:49 -0400

The trees swayed with the summer wind and the dirt cackled with every step Hannah’s boots made. The streets of Hogsmeade were deserted because most students were cramped up in their rooms studying for their end of the year final exams. Madam Irma Pince decided to let Hannah off early that night which thoroughly surprised her. The library was swamped with students catching up on their last minute studying and she surely thought that Madam would need the extra help. Madam instead insisted that Hannah go out and see her friends to release stress.

Madam was right. Hannah WAS stressed and it wasn’t because she had end of the year exams (She was 19 and graduated so for her to be stressed about that wouldn’t make any sense.) She was nervous because of the new marriage law that had been passed. Hannah should be getting her pairing any day and the idea was making her go crazy. Since the law was so new and Hannah was swamped with work, she hadn’t met anybody yet who had been paired. The only person she hung around with was Ernie and he had yet to be paired.

Hannah was naturally a curious girl and was excited to find out who she’d be paired with. In some ways it reassured her to know that she wouldn’t spend her life alone. But she had never had a boyfriend before and now she was expected to get married and bare a child all within the year?

Which was why Hannah wanted to catch up with Ginny Weasley. She was on her way right now to meet with her at The Three Broomsticks. Hannah had always admired Ginny even though the two weren’t ever exactly close. She would sit in the bleachers during the quidditch matches as Ginny would bravely soar with the rest of team usually leading to victory. Plus Ginny dated Harry Potter whom Hannah WAS friends with.

As Hannah finally made her way up to the Three Broomsticks she pushed open the door and gave a little familiar wave to the waitress as she took a seat at a table. She pondered about what to order when she decided she would wait for Ginny to arrive. Hannah was all about new recommendations for meals.

Hannah!

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:24:37 -0400

ERNIE! Are you going to come by and visit me at work today? My stomach is growling and I could use a delicious pastry. Eh. Eh. -winks- Plus I’m bored out of my wits and all of these younger Hogwarts students are driving me crazy.
