London, 1st of March 1890
Dear B,It would be a lie if I told you the fact you weren't the one submitting the advertisement in question had left me as confident as I was when originally responding to it. However, since you were so honest as to tell me the truth, I shall try and be just as honest with you. If the advertisement truly captures your wishes in a companion, my desire to get to know and meet you has remained unchanged. In fact, I am even more intrigued in meeting you now. After all, you must be quite worthy of admiration if someone else submitted an advertisement on your behalf.
I, of course, understand your carefulness in not agreeing to meet with me right away. I am afraid, though, that I cannot divulge too much information without fear that you may afterwards want to meet with me simply to better your own image or status. Please, do not misunderstand this as me perceiving you as a woman of ill repute. You must understand that I must display the same carefulness you are approaching me with. I think it is only fair that we stand on equal terms, given the situation.
I come from a family with a strong reputation and equally strong ties to both the wizarding and muggle societies of Britain. My family has upheld it's reputation and connections for generations. I graduated from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where I was placed into the house of Ravenclaw, in 1874. This, of course, gives you an idea of how old I might be, and I am quite ashamed to admit that I, at my age, as I have mentioned in my first letter, have never been in any sort of romantic involvement with anybody.
I would prefer to refrain from telling you too much about my occupation at this point, but I can tell you that my line of work focuses on the history of wizardkind and it's status throughout history. The enclosed pamphlet might give you a bit more of an idea as to what I mean by that.
While I do love my line of work and have enjoyed it thoroughly ever since I became part of it shortly after graudation, I do enjoy a range of other things, too. I try to always be fashionable and look my best. I also enjoy traveling and harbor a great love for music. In my opinion, music allows us to express our emotions in a way that words never will. I also enjoy literature and like to go and see the odd Quidditch match here or there.
Might you tell me a bit more about yourself aswell? I look forward to getting to know you better.
Sincerely,
A.
