Dear Hermione,
Thank you for being there once upon a time. I loved those moments. Now I live for those moments. Those days, long ago, under library shelves and behind curtains, your little dainty smile like an echelon of hope, like a ray of sunshine.
I understand that you chose him, I understand why I was not enough. I understand why his true, barren self was more to you than my ragged breaths and non-existant courage - why his honesty was more than my arrogance - I understand but sometimes I hate you. I hate you for making it so hard for me.
I will never admit to not being good enough for you because that is not what I do and you know that. I will never admit that I am sorry but I am. I am sorry for myself, sorry that I was not good enough. I don't know if I feel anything for you. I don't know if I should. Do you think I should feel bad for letting you go?
I don't think I should, because I didn't let you go. You left me, and that hurt. It did. And it hurt more that nobody knew. Everyone saw you and Weasley on top of the world and nobody saw me in the dust of your footsteps. But I say thank you to you for even letting me tread there.
Nobody in the future will see your name next to mine, just his next to yours. Maybe that is how it should be. I am a villain, after all.
But right now, your daughter has snuck into my son's room. They think I don't know but I sensed the wards breaching. That is one more thing I am thankful for. A second chance, though it may be vicarious. He is me, she is you, and together they can be us, in some way.
I am done here. Thank you for being my fairytale. I am going to burn this now. This is the last time.
Sincerely,
Draco Malfoy
