Disclaimer: I'm not j. k. Rowling, or at least that's what my psychiatrist insists I tell myself every morning.

Authors note: I don't know; it just sort of happened. If you don't like it, fine. If you do, cool, let me know.

I don't know if it's gonna be a one shot or what, I guess it depends on the feedback.

Red,

I know you probably never expected to hear from me again but what can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment.

I'm sure you wondering if you should even finish reading this letter or if you should throw it in the fire and pretend that I don't exist. Not that I could blame you or anything but just in case that was the case I put a flame resistant spell on it.

I miss you.

I know you have every reason for hating me I if I were you I'd hate me too but I can't change what's happened between us. I wake up every day to an empty bed and I remember.

At first I was angry because; well I thought I was angry at you because you wouldn't forgive me but as time passed I realised I was angry at myself for messing up the best thing that ever happened to me.

I can't believe I was so stupid. I realise that now, I just wish I could take it back and do it differently. I imagine what life would be like now if I had dealt with things differently…

I'm sure you've moved on with your life but I can't let go until I know there's absolutely no hope for us.

The last thing you said to me was you needed time to think, I had hoped that a couple of weeks was what you meant. After a couple of months I worried that that was you answer but you didn't move on with anyone else so I held on to hope. After the first year the hope faded but I didn't give up on you coming back to me. When I heard that you were seeing someone I tried to stop hoping. When I heard that you were married my heart froze. I tried to move on but I couldn't, I couldn't give my heart to someone else when you still had it.

For two years all I did was work and dream of better times between us.

I heard about the divorce. I tried to feel sorry for the pain it must have caused you but I'm afraid that I couldn't because as soon as I heard my heart warmed as that annoying hope grew stronger.

I'm sure you stopped thinking of me a long time ago but until the hope is gone I don't think I'll ever be whole again. I'll never stop living in the past so I need to know. I need to finally know where we stand.

I've spent five years of my life giving you time. Please tell me it's enough.

Yours,

Draco Malfoy

Ginny was staying at her brother's house for a while. If anyone asked they said it was 'To help with the separation', but it was really just so she could spend some time with her brother. So they sat in the kitchen playing chess for about the billionth time when the letter arrived.

"What's that?"

"A letter."

"I can see that. Who's it from?"

"Someone I used to know."

"Who?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Why?"

"Because I can't."

"Is it him?"

"Who?"

"Who ever it was all those years ago, the one who broke your heart; you never told me who it was."

"Yeah. It's him."

"What did he say?"

"He still feels the same."

"You told us he broke it off."

"I lied."

"But…"

"He was the reason, he did something stupid. That's why I broke it off."

"Do you want him back?"

"I don't know."

"Do you still love him?"

"I …I think so."

"So tell him, if he wants you back then you have the right to be happy."

"It's complicated."

"That's what you used to say when we asked why you wouldn't tell us who it was."

"Well it's still complicated."

"What can be so compli…"

"It's Malfoy."

…

…

"Draco Malfoy?"

"Yeah."

THUMP!

Ron looked down at where his sister had fainted on the floor and then back at the letter in his lap. "And that would the reason I didn't tell you."

well? what do ya think?
