The Series of Letters
***
Dear Harry,
We've finally arrived at the School. It was so good seeing everyone
again. It was like I never left here at all.
I wish that you were with me now. You're about the only thing that's
missing from my home coming.
See you soon,
Love, Hermione
Dear Hermione,
The house is nearly all settled. Ginny and Daniel have been a huge help. I wish I was there with you too.
Let me know if you need me there sooner. I'll see what I can do.
Love, Harry
Dear Harry,
I always need you with me. You're my best friend in the world, Harry. I wouldn't have gotten through these last years without you.
Love, Hermione
Dear Hermione,
Sure you would have. Snape was nothing to miss. You were so much better than him. He never deserved the love you gave him.
Yours,
Harry
Harry,
I know you don't like him because I share a past with him. But he is a good man. I could never love anything less than a good person.
I hurt him, Harry. Not the other way around.
Please, be here soon so we can talk.
Hermione
Hermione,
Why are you defending that bloody old git? He did so hurt you. He used you and never told you that he loved you.
Harry
Harry,
Stop being like this. You know that I've always cared for him. I also count him as a friend.
Hermione
Hermione,
If you want to be that way, then care for that old bat! I DON'T care!
Harry

Hermione tore up the last letter, sobbing on her bed. She couldn't believe that Harry was being this way with her.
He was always so caring, understanding, and kind.
It was what made her fall in love with him over the years.
Now they seemed so different. So apart.
Hermione continued to cry on her bed until she fell asleep.
