Oddity (Gabriella/open)

[malfoy]

Isaac had been spending more and more time in the owlery of late, he came there to think and be by himself for a while. Unusual for that day, an owl foreign to him landed on the sill by his elbow, letter addressed to him in its beak. The owl was tawny, there were several in the tower, but Isaac had never seen that one before. He took the letter and the owl left. He opened it and read its contents, frowning a bit.

Isaac,

I am certain that you remember me, I was your girlfriend for two weeks when we were what, fifteen? Sixteen? It seems like it was such a long time ago. I hear you're engaged now, to Gabriella Weasley. That was a real shock for me, I suppose an even greater one for your father. Would you meet me at the Hog's Head next Wednesday at three in the afternoon? I have something to tell you that I would be much more comfortable conveying in person, well, I'm not sure about "comfortable," but I don't think a letter is a good means of saying it.

Sincerely,

Miranda Castlebrook

Isaac frowned at the letter. He had dim memories of Miranda, but they were human days, much less clear than more recent ones. He recalled that they had gone out for a little bit, but broke up relatively quickly, like all his girlfriends before he had met Gabriella. Isaac tucked the letter into his pocket, confused, but mentally decided he would meet her in the Hog's Head next Wednesday.
