Harry,

I know you're tempted to burn this but please just read it. This book contains all the major events of my years at Hogwarts; The Sorting, the early years, when I first started talking to you- everything. The whole story, no gaps. I really want you to understand before you decide to cut me out of your life.

I would love to say it was never my intention to hurt you but that would be a lie, you already know that. What you don't know is that there was a point where the cruel intentions were pushed aside. You should know but you refused to listen. It was understandable. I hope you at least take the time to read what I have written, I truly did not want to hurt you in the end.

My actions were indeed regrettable but perhaps forgivable, I'll leave that for you. We won't ever be the same after this but we could rebuild and move on if you let me try. Try to remember I took a risk coming clean about this, you could take a risk with me.

-Mariella.
