Dear Mother and Father,
I write this from my cold cell in Azkaban. I thought of all the people in the world, my parents should know the truth. First I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to both of you; I know you wanted me to be more like Ginny or Ron or any of my other cousins, but I was born to do bigger things.
When I first got caught they assumed I was death eater and was doing this all for power, but the truth was, and still is, that I did this all for love. She disrespected me and Draco, and I couldn't let her continue; she was threatening to destroy my life. I know the Ministry will read this, so I figured I might as well tell the whole truth.
I sighed as I wrote the letter and felt a tear sting my cheek. My cell mate sat only a few feet from the desk I was writing at on her bed. She looked up at me and laughed harshly, "So you're the crazy bitch that killed Pansy Parkinson," she said walking over to me and sitting beside my paper on the desk. I rolled my eyes and continued to write to my mother and father.
It's truth. I did kill Pansy Parkinson on the tenth of June and I did do it quite viciously. Not only did I kill her, but I tortured her until she begged fro her life.
"What're you writing?" my Azkaban cell mated asked me. I hugged angrily and turned away from her. "You know it's going to be a long stay if you don't make friends," she said before walking away. However, I was planning on staying long; I was going to break free from this hell hole. I knew how Sirius did it, and lucky for me I had the same kind of talent, but I was a black panther.
The morning of her death Pansy came to the cottage for tea and I had everything all planned. Yes, a murder like that couldn't just be done without planning. It took me three years to plan how she would die. She came to the door and I let her in, that was the last time she was ever seen. Our tea was enjoyable enough until Draco came home. Pansy walked right up to him and hugged him, pressing her ridiculously large fake breasts into him. I had to pull Draco away just to get a kiss from my husband. She touched his leg throughout all of the remainder of tea and then when she went to leave she pressed into him and grabbed his baggage and then was when I knew it was time to strike.
I asked Draco to go out and get me some chocolate frogs and I told him how many exactly I wanted. The closest town, as you know, is a little over an hour away, so I had time. Pansy had just turned to leave when I took the antique china that Draco's father had given us when we were married and hit her over the head with it. I needed to move quickly so I dragged her unconscious body into the house and used a broken piece of china to carve the message into her chest. "Don't fuck with me." Once I'd finished carving the message I took the largest piece of the broken china and with a grin I stuck it to her throat and slid it across, like a knife in butter.
I took a break and reread the letter. I wasn't sure how to finish it. I knew this would be the last time I would ever get any sympathy from my family and they would probably disown me. I knew this was coming. I planned the murder and I was ready to pay for it, just not here. Actually, who the hell was I kidding I wasn't ready to pay for it, and I wouldn't.
I love you both more than words can I say. This will be the last time I speak to you, considering now you know the truth. Tell Draco I'll always love him, until the day I die there will be no other man.
Love always and forever,
Astoria Greengrass Malfoy
