Dearest Hermione,
I'm so sorry for all the past few days of pain. I'm sorry for being the cause of unrest between you and Harry; I know that it hurts you greatly even though you do not speak of it. I am also sorry that I did not have the sense to restrain myself, while I am sure you will disagree with me I feel that this situation would have been better received had we conducted our relationship once you had left Hogwarts. As it remains, this is not the case, nor can we change it.
Hermione, it amazes me a dazzling witch as talented as yourself has even considered me as a partner for so long. When you first came to me several months ago wanting to talk to someone other than the boys about your concerns for your parents, when you first threw yourself into my arms, when I comforted you and we kissed, I told myself it was a crush or perhaps a moment of emotional weakness. I didn't want to pursue it at first, believing that you would never mention that evening again and that I would have to, once again, bury my feelings for you. But to my delighted surprise you sought me out the next day and told me the exact opposite. You have always had a canny ability to read people and guess their reactions to events. It is one of the many things I admire about you.
My beautiful wonder, there is so much more to say to you than I have been able to now. But before I finish this letter I want you to know my intentions towards you. I wish to spend the rest of my life with you, I wish to be able to have numerous more discussions about literature with you, I wish to spend countless more evenings curled up in front of a fire reading to you, I wish to kiss your lips and hold you until I am no longer able to. I wish that one day you Hermione Jane Granger will become Hermione Jane Lupin. However I am aware that I may be jumping the mark a bit here and so I will close now. I will see you in the morning my love.
Yours forever
Remus
