I know you probably don't care what I have to say, but please, could you just read this one letter, and I promise I'll be out of your life for good.

Hermione,

Honestly, I'm not sure why I'm writing this to you. Maybe doing this is a mistake. Well, yeah. It is a mistake. But I'm stupid enough to do it anyway.

First off, let me tell you that I'm using a Quick-Quotes Quill since there are several versions of this very same letter rumpled and lying on my bedroom floor and I've decided that I'm tired and my hand hurts. So now I'm just going to say what's on my mind, and then stick whatever ends up on this sheet of parchment into an envelope and post it to you. So I suppose I should apologize now if anything doesn't make sense.

You're probably seething with anger at this very moment, infuriated that I'd even have the gall to write to you after so long. I'm sorry, but you see, I desperately need to ask you one question. Just one. It's been torturing me for months now…. I guess by writing this letter to you, I'm just trying to clear some mental space.

More than anything, I want to ask you this in person. To see your face one more time, just to talk to you. But don't worry; I understand why that can't happen.

(Sigh).

Why are you even doing this, Draco? You're just fucking things up even more… Hey! Don't write –… (Another sigh).

…Sorry.

I just – I promise, that if you could just answer this one question for me, I swear I will leave you alone for good. And you can just pretend you never read this.

Oh – but before I ask you… I – I heard you just had a baby girl. Congratulations. …If she's anything like her mother, she's the prettiest thing in the world…. And the smartest…. And the feistiest. …And the bossiest. And… (Sigh).

…

I swear I'm not trying to cause any trouble, Hermione, so tell Weasley he can relax.

I just – I just can't stop wondering if… if maybe… dammit, Hermione – do you ever… think about me? Anymore?

I know what we had is dead and gone, and that I made you cry too many times. In fact, I'm really glad we ended what we had. You deserve someone so much better than me.

… Though why you chose Weasley I'll never understand.

… Oh shit. Are you still writing – oh crap.

Sorry Hermione.

I know I have no right interrupting your life after so many years of silence… but I just have to know.

I just… wonder if I ever cross your mind… as many times as you cross mine.

Draco.
