A/N: Here's the third letter! This one is pretty emotional, and it kind of made me sad to write. I hope you enjoy it.

Dear Hermione,
It took everything I had not to kill her. Actually, that's a lie – mother had to restrain me with the Body-Bind hex. I just… Watching her do that to you… Not being able to stop it… I never thought I'd say it, but I'm so glad Weasley intervened when he did. Otherwise… He would have known where my allegiances are.
Don't let that awful word affect you. You're better than that, and blood is trivial. You're the best, most brilliant, most compassionate, most beautiful witch I've ever known. And I'm so glad you're my best friend.
Did I ever mention to you how happy I am that you punched me at the end of sixth year? After… What happened… With Dumbledore, I mean… If it weren't you, I'd still be on the wrong path… Of course, with this… lovely embellishment… on my arm, I am constantly reminded that I am not a good person. Oh, I'm laughing. Thinking of what you would say if you were here… "Oh, Draco, stop being such a prat! Of course you're a good person! You're one of the best people I know!"…
I miss you, Hermione. More than you know. I hope Weasley has finally realized how much he means to you. I hope Potter is utilizing your brilliance. I hope the three of you are successful, whatever it is you're off doing.
I wish you were here. I wish this war was over.
I wish I could send this letter.
Much love,
Draco
