Dear Harry,
Today's Valentine's Day. Is it selfish of me to be jealous of those whose boyfriends are all here at school? I mean I know you're not exactly choosing to be away, but I still wish you were here. Today everyone seems to be in a relatively good mood, despite everything that's going on. It's what McGonagall said last year wasn't it? That Dumbledore would be happy to see that there's a little more love in the world. I guess that is true. Everyone needs someone to love, especially nowadays. Do you remember that Valentine's Day in my first year were Lockhart hired the elves to deliver those grams? And that awful poem I wrote? Fred and George still haven't let me live that down. In my defense, I was an eleven year old with a huge crush. Who would have believed all that's happened in the last five years? Now I'm with you, and you're not even here. Do you wish you were? Neville it seems is the only one who seems even more depressed than usual. I think it's because of Luna's absence. They would make a sweet couple. Merlin, I hope she's alright. I try not to think of all the things that could be happening to her, but it's hard to pretend when I know what the Death Eaters are capable of. Maybe by next year everything will be alright. Maybe, I'll get to see you again. For now I can only dream. Happy Valentine's Day love.
All my love,
Ginny

Dear Harry,
Malfoy's been surprisingly helpful. He even brought in a few of his fellow Slyhterin's to the last DA meeting. Blaise Zabini was there. I still think he's an arse, but he did say that he doesn't believe in all the things that his parents do. There are a few girls too, Astoria Greengrass, she's in my year, and her older sister Daphne. Malfoy seems to be sort of protective of Astoria. I wonder if he fancies her. She seems nice enough, for a Slytherin. They all seem to be honestly trying, and they haven't even mentioned you. At least they seem to have their priorities straight. We haven't told them of Potterwatch yet, and we have them leave before it comes on at night. We don't want anything to happen to the Order or the twins in case they are traitors. But they signed the petition that Hermione made me this year. She made it so that it would be obvious if they wanted to betray us all. Thinking of Cho's friend Marietta, I don't even want to know what would happen if they broke their promises. We're getting stronger Harry. We believe in you. Stay safe.
All my love,
Ginny
A/N: so this story is almost over. Sorry for such short chapters. The war happens May second, so there's only really April left. I'll try and post tomorrow. And yes, there will be an epilogue. And I know that it's out of cannon to have the Slytherin's in the DA, but I'm using my creative license. Anyway, I hope you all like it. Reviews are appreciated.
