Hermione stepped into the office the next morning with full intentions to grab her
work and leave. But, as all plans went, there was something that kept this one
from happening. Though it was in high violation of a promise that was made to her.
She walked in to find two letters sitting on her desk. One had looped hand-
writing in purple ink. The other had small distinct letters written in black ink.
She recognized the writing of each instantly, and wished that the letters would
just disappear. Or that she could disappear and leave this life and everything in it
behind.
She reached for the one with the purple writing, just for the fact that it was the
first that her eyes had landed on. On it was:
Dearest Mia,
I know that you made Harry promise yesterday to tell us all to back
off and leave you alone for good. To never bother you or come in any connect
ever again. Well, I couldn't do that without saying something. Anything. Just to
get that last word in.
That day when you apparated back into the apartment, my heart leaped a little,
just hoping that maybe that meant you had forgiven us and that you wer back for
good.
Then I saw your eyes. Those stony eyes, the wall totally back up again. We
worked so hard to break it down 6 years ago but it got built again. Then we
worked and worked to get it to break down again, and just when we started to
make some progress we blew it completely. We forgot that you hated dishonesty
of any kind, though I don't know how we could.
I mean, after seventh year and all. The dishonesty that went around that year
was amazing. And you were the only of the three to figure out that there was
anything even wrong.
Anyway, I wanted to give you this advice "Live life day by day, but don't live it in
the past as it was set like that for a reason. Your job is just to figure out what that
reason is" Its something my mother always used to say. Just remember it and
don't forget that we, as in all of us, are here if you ever need us.
Lots of love and wishes,
Padma
Hermione put down the letter, not knowing exactly how to react to it. She was
touched by the letter, but a more dominant emotion was taking over. Anger. She
was angry that she or they even dared to contact her. Especially after giving
Potter strict instructions to tell the others to never bother her again.
She picked up the second letter, hoping that it would bring better news, though
she knew that it wouldn't. She knew who wrote it, meaning that it wouldn't bring
joy to her life. Not much anyway.
Hey Mia,
I know that this is a surprise. That the name and the letter is a surprise.
Don't worry, this wont get anyone into trouble. There's an irreversible spell on
here so that only the person who was intended to read it can.
I just wanted to make sure that you were ok and to tell you something. To tell you
that he still loves and from the look that I saw yesterday, you still love him. I know
that as I write this he's sitting and telling himself that you no longer love him. You
know the him I'm talking about.
I also know that I was the only one that recognized the look that passed through
those stone cold eyes of yours. We became a lot closer over that year than
anyone realized, and I was observant enough to know each and every look that
passed over your face.
I just thought that I would enlighten you to this information. He wants to tell you
more than anything but fears the consequences. Fears that it will get one or all of
us killed. He doesn't know the spell and he also doesn't know that I'm writing to
you. This is a between you and me thing and it has to stay that way.
You know why. Not only for my and your safety, but for the safety of everyone we
know and love. You can write back if you wish, just make sure to use the spell.
However, if you never wish to talk to me again I understand. I know that we
promised to never see each other again, but this isn't the same thing. Its words,
not facing each other. Don't tell him told you.

Hermione starred in disbelief at the letter. She couldn't believe that he had actually
written to her. He hadn't spoken to her nicely in five years, unless you
counted yesterday.
She heard a soft knock on her door then it opened. "Granger, here's the work
that the boss left. You get to do this all on your own. It's local not international.
Meaning you get your wish. You can stay as far away from me as you want" he
snarled.
'Nice to know things are back to normal with him' she thought sarcastically. Even
though her life seemed to be a total hell right now she was glad that she did had
some of her sarcastic personality still, even though it was totally wasted on herself.
"Yeah whatever. Thanks Malfoy" she replied in her monotone voice.
Draco looked up from the ground, just barely disguising the look of surprise that
wanted so badly to cross his features.
He knew that she could keep a totally calm voice in any situation but this was
just plain scary. She was becoming more and more like him and he didn't want
that to happen.
He missed his Mia more than anything. But this person standing in front of him
wasn't her. She was a total stranger now, that just looked like his old friend. He
knew that she had been hurt several times but this, this he never expected. He
wouldn't wish this on anyone.
He would never want to see anyone suffer like this. He had gone through it and he
didn't want anyone else to but there was nothing he could do to keep this from
happening with Hermione.
He held an emotion that no deatheater, let alone a Malfoy should ever feel. He
harboured a love in his heart that not even he knew the extent of but he couldn't
act on it. He had spent so long trying to make it go away that he hadn't realized
he had only been suppressing it while it grew more and more.
Hermione looked up and saw emotion in Draco's eyes. There were so many that
she couldn't ever tell how many exactly or what any of them were. Well that was
a lie, she knew what one was. It was a pure pain.
Draco met Hermione's eyes for a moment but broke the eye contact
immediately. He didn't know what he might do if he stayed in here much longer.
But whatever it was. It wouldn't be good.
"Malfoy, get out and stay out. I don't want to ever see you in here again. If we
have to work together it can be in your office and if the boss leaves something
for you to give to me, give it to Kaya. She can pass it on."
"Why would I want a mud blood bitch to set foot in my office?" Draco spat at her.
He didn't know why but she had pissed him off with that. He had been expecting
something like that to happen but he still had his Malfoy temper and nothing
could have prepared him for the anger that she had used. She had remained calm
in saying everything since their meeting.
Hermione picked up the first thing she could find, having no clue what it was. "I
thought I told you to GET THE HELL OUT" she yelled and threw what she later found out what
the staple at him, nailing him in the stomach.
"What the hell was that for bitch? I didn't do anything to you" he screamed back.
"Didn't do anything? Like hell. You ruined my life, a life I had just built. I loved you
more than anyone and you knew it. But you had to screw me over anyway"
Draco feeling the anger build apparated right from the spot he was standing on.
He had had the urge to hit her. AN urge that he hoped never to have because it
made him so much like his father. Someone he loathed more than anything in this world.
And worse. He wanted to hit the person that he claimed to love so much. But as
he had mentioned earlier. She wasn't who he loved, she was a stranger living in
the same body.
