Hermione,
I know we're not the best of friends or anything but I'm sure you know that I'm almost as dedicated to my studies as you are so I hope we can put aside our differences for the sake of our education. Being so focused on the upcoming Quidditch match I haven't had much chance to get to the library which is a real shame because there's a book I was really counting on to double check my latest History of Magic essay. However when I went by to get the book after classes today I found that there were no copies left. I wouldn't normally ask this of you as I know that your workload is as heavy as anyone's but I could really use your help with the essay. I'm not certain that the facts are right and I really can't think of anyone else to turn to. Please let me know if you'd be willing to meet in the library for a little while this evening to help me out.
Yours,
Theodore Nott Jr
