Hello, wonderful readers! As you have no doubt noticed, this fic is moving forward again! Rather short chapter here, though, because Harry is struggling with Draco's last letter. Remember, this is epistolary, so all you see in these chapters are letters that Draco, Harry & co see. For more in depth pieces, you'll have to wait for reaction pieces. (Of which there is one coming on Harry's part for chapter 13!)
As always, we don't own Harry Potter or its characters. (I don't think we've done a disclaimer in a while!)

Malfoy,
I feel much the same towards you, as you claim to feel towards me. I suppose I'm glad that you and he are friends now, and that he's told you about Ron's treatment of him. He refuses to discuss it with me, not that I blame him, but it's probably good that he has someone to talk about this with, even if it's a...rather unlikely outlet.
I can assure you, Malfoy, that Harry will always have me standing by him, no matter what he does or who is against him. He is my best friend, and I love him.
Best,
Hermione Granger
Narcissa,
I know we're supposed to meet tomorrow morning, but I'm having a bit of an...emotional conundrum, I suppose, and I'd really appreciate it if we could postpone the meeting. Maybe in a couple days instead?
I'm so sorry, please let me know if that's okay!
Harry
(This is me signing off and saying nothing because that would mean the AN was longer than the chapter.) (But oh gosh guys I am terrified for Harry's next letter.)
