Chapter Five: The Letter
Months had passed since Harry had departed from London, and everyone's lives were going on as normal as possible. Hermione had moved into her own apartment in Hogsmade, and received many letters from Harry. The letters told her he was fine and that he missed her, but nothing more. Every letter that Harry sent Hermione, she wouldn't part with it until the next one arrived.
It was a cold day in December when Hermione received that letter from Harry. She was quietly reading her favorite book, "Hogwarts, a History", when Hedwig flew in and dropped a letter in her lap. She instantly opened it. As she read the letter, her eyes filled with tears. She put it down and sobbed into her pillow. After a few minutes of calming down, she read the letter again.
Dear Mione,
I am writing this letter to let you know I will not be in contact with you for some time. I am going on a mission where I cannot receive or send any mail. This mission I cannot elaborate on, but I am not sure if I will make it back. I want you to know that I am thinking about you all the time, and I dream of the day I can hold you in my arms again. I only wish that this war would be over, so I could be with you. Hopefully, with my mission successful, I will be coming home soon.
With all my love, Harry.
Hermione sat there on her couch, sobbing uncontrollably for hours. The only reason she stopped was that her doorbell rang. She got up and walked slowly to the door, wiping her eyes. Hermione slowing opened the door, to reveal her best friend Lavender. Lav noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong, Herm?"
She handed Lav the letter and waited for her to read it. "Oh, Herm," Lavender said as she brought Hermione into a hug. [The two walked in the apartment and sat on the couch.]
"Herm, you know Harry's going to be fine."
"I don't know, Lav. What if he isn't?"
"Don't talk like that, Herm. You know Harry's coming back." Hermione smiled and was drawn into another comforting hug by Lavender.
