Chapter Three
Of Coded Letters and Keys

Once she was safely inside her room she tore into the envelope wondering what it could be, though she had a suspicion of who it was from. Standing there with her back against the door as if there was a monster on the other side trying to get in, Katherine read the letter she had nearly torn to pieces in her hurry to open the envelope. After a moment or two of reading Katherine darted over to her closet and pulled out her trunk. She began to rummage around inside of it as soon as it was opened, in search of the one thing that she knew she needed. At the very bottom of the trunk was a small worn key that had seen its fair share of doors in its life time.
Turning back to the letter, Katherine sat down on the floor where her feet had been and read over the letter once more. After reading it for the second time she sat there, staring at the key and the letter, trying to decipher exactly what it said.

The letter itself wasn’t a letter in which a friend would write to another friend, or someone to their family. It was written in such a way that the recipient needed to know a code of some sort so the mix of words, that seemed to be confusing to the normal eye, would pick up on it quickly. All of this was a safety measure to protect both sides in the event that it was placed into the wrong hands.

Of course, Katherine knew that this letter was from someone she knew from her former life. Between the nightmare in which Voldemort had made an appearance and this note, there was a link between the two that she was missing, the link of which was hidden in this letter. “Think Katherine.” She told herself as she turned the key over thrice in her hand, letting her index finger feel over the small engraved ‘B’ on the largest part of the key. “Go back and think.” She told herself again as she turned back to the letter.

Meanwhile, Harriet was fuming outside in the hallway. “I don’t know what’s gotten into her, Wally.” She confided in the dog. “She’s not the same.” She ended as she began to pace the length of the hallway carefully staying out of Wally’s way as he too was pacing.

“Something is wrong.” She declared finally. Wally agreed, as he sat down in front of Harriet and lifted his paw up for her to take, whimpering as he did so. Both of them were worried about their friend.

AAHHH it's so good so far PAMS! I wasn't entirely sure if that was "proper" grammar or not, but it sounded a lot better than what I had tried before that...so maybe it was a good thing I scratched what I had before.
