Alright, so this was it---
her last shot. She'd searched for Seymour in several places throughout the school, asking all her friends if they'd seen the boy or if they could give him a message. Seymour Addams still hadn't shown up. Letter clutched in hand, Anna made her way into the Owlery and called for Charlotte, her owl, to come down. "Hey, girl. Would you like a treat?" she asked, holding the little owl treat out in her hand for Charlotte to take. As soon as the owl had eaten, Anna held up the letter and began to attach it to one of Charlotte's talons. "Seymour Addams, a Slytherin boy, is to receive this. It's quite important that he receive this right away, please," she said.

Dear Seymour,
As you very well know, I have received an assignment which requires me to be your ambassador, both academically and socially. I have made several efforts to locate you throughout the castle, but so far, I've had no luck. I've asked several of your co-Slytherins (as well as a number of students from the other houses) to look for you, as well. I'm not sure what else I can do besides send you a letter via my owl, Charlotte. Along with the letter, Charlotte will also be bringing you a copy of my favorite Defense Against the Dark Arts book. It's called 'Advanced Defensive Spells and Technique,' by Virgil Vigilante. It's helped me understand several spells and techniques, so I thought you may like it, as well. See it as a peace offering, if you will.
Although I haven't had a chance to meet with you personally, I'd like for you to know that I have made an effort, and I have learned several different things which I'd like to share with you. First, I learned that if you'd give me the chance, I'd like to be nice to you and befriend you not because I have to, but because I want to. Secondly, I've had time to consider why we both ended up in this mess in the first place, and I believe I understand your point-of-view now. I apologize for offending you by the way I spoke to Will. You have my word that I have learned to think more carefully before I speak out. Please allow me a chance to say this to you face-by-face. If you will, please reply via Charlotte, and we'll set up a time and a place to meet.
Thank you,
Anna Greingoth
"If he chooses to reply, Charlotte, please wait for him to do so. If not, then I know you've tried your best," she said. "Remember...Seymour Addams, second year Slytherin." With that, she released Charlotte and allowed the owl to find Seymour and properly deliver the message.
