Dear Ron,

I know I'm going to have to do it soon, definitely by tomorrow – but I cannot bring myself to. It's so difficult having to think about what life is going to be like, and knowing that I may never see them again. When I stand behind them watching TV, holding my wand in my hand, I'm shaking. I'm saying the spell over and over in my head but when I open my mouth, the silence takes over.

I hope to Merlin I am able to find some strength within me.

I'll see you soon,

All my love,

Hermione x

Dear Hermione,

I know you can do this. I believe in you – you know what you're doing is right by them and you.

Don't give up.

I'll be waiting for you.

Ron x

Sirius,

I'm finding it hard coming to terms with the fact that the moment I have been waiting for, for seven long years, may be upon me. I feel a nervous wreck whenever I think about it, because deep down inside of me, I know it's all down to me. I know I have Ron and Hermione, and they've been brilliant – honestly.

But it's me he wants, and I'm honestly terrified…
