***********************************************************************

The Death Eaters kidnapped Draco and before that time, he was able to hand his letter to Hermione.

Hermione on the other hand was in the hallways that time Draco gave it so she opened on a page of her book and slipped it inside, taking note she'd read it at once she'd get to her room. She gave Draco a letter from her and Draco put it safely in his robe.

When they were heading to the their dormitories, Death Eaters attacked Draco and Hermione held herself over when Draco didn't go with them. Hermione got the spell that was due Draco---and she died.

Ron ran out to where an explosion happened, seemingly happy with the love letter clutched in his hand. . . the letter he was supposed to give to Hermione. He came at the scene with Hermione catching her breaths, losing life in Draco's arms. Ron handed the letter in and Hermione died with the letter clutched in her hand.

A number of the Death Eaters took Hermione's body roughly away from Draco and threw it by the lake. Ron's letter was with her---down the lake. And Hermione's book where she placed Draco's letter in flew open. . . the letter flew away and directed itself towards the lake. . . down with Hermione.

And nothing was heard of Draco whereabouts again. . .only that he was reported to be dead as well, after seeing Hermione die in his arms because of him.

Here is the letter of Draco to Hermione. Sent. Kept. Unread.

My dearest Hermione,

The sun shines brightly for me today. I still have you with me and it is one reason that I greet this new day with an honest smile on my lips. I am so glad that you are trying to keep me company even if there is the threat of the Death Eaters soon attacking Hogwarts to capture me. You are the only one I am holding onto right now and you have no idea how thankful I am that you are always around for me. Everything came too fast, I know. I was even caught unattended by this sudden friendship that we have. But what I was never ready for is this deep feeling I try as much to suppress inside. Just for caring, for understanding, and for giving me sympathy when I did not ask for it made this connection between us. Being the intolerable git that I have been to you all these years, it came as a surprise when I witnessed the sorrow that filled your eyes when I knew I lost Lucius. I myself, did not even think of attending his funeral for all the damage he has caused to my family and the wizarding and muggle world. But then, you cried for me. I did not understand it at first. I thought you were grieving over Lucius' death, which of course would be silly and is a waste of time. The moment you sent a note to me expressing your sympathy and condolence, it surprised me more so. I never thought about putting up with my smug façade and just wondered at your behavior. I wondered how come and what you did that for. Come a day after that, you conversed with me and expressed freely your emotions---that you felt for me. You felt sorry for every evil thing that I was exposed to even when I was still young. . . and yet, you were also glad. Your tears meant not only sorrow but also your happiness. You wanted me to have my freedom back. Of all the things done for me, you caring that much was the greatest.

Agree with me now that you also felt it. . . that there was something else between us even before that conversation. Perhaps we had already grown out of disliking each other. I for one had this certain fondness for you---that I find your every movement very graceful, every word sweet and humble, and every stare deep and sincere. You made me wonder how was it to become civil with you. . . how it would be to become one of your friends. And for every little thing you did for me right after, I felt concern I never had before. For once in my life, I knew what it is to be loved and be cared for.

By now you already know how I am treated back at the Malfoy manor and how relations with my parents are very much different from yours. I was never given any affection that could have broken my cold façade that they themselves provoked.

It was only you Hermione. You destroyed my mask and willingly embrace me in your arms. What could be greater than that?

And now I tell you, for all the wonderful and splendid things you did, I humble myself before you with this love I am offering you--- this love that only surfaced and became alive with the mere presence of you in my life. . .

Together with this comes my apology and partial farewell. I am positive the Death Eaters have been plotting ways to kill me after I disrespected Lucius and Voldemort at the funeral. They assumed that I was siding with the league of Dumbledore. . . well I am not exactly as it was just me thinking that Lucius deserved his death.

If you would allow this love to bloom between us two, I am thankful and if otherwise, I still am as you have given me more than what I have expected.

My apologies if your consent ends up unrequited as I have no idea when I shall see you last. And my love, farewell if ever I would not get the opportunity to say goodbye. By chance I would not be honoured with a chance to do it personally, I would never be in regret as my love for you would not die and even in death, my feelings will make it through. . .

So perhaps I take back the word goodbye since whatever happens to me after this, I would be waiting eagerly for the time we would meet again. . .

. . . even if I have to wait forever, I most certainly will. . .

. . .Just to have you with me. . . you and me in eternity.

Draco
