Chapter 14
Dear Uncle Sev,
Yes, you are right I am in love with Draco. I should tell you that I have realized something since I last wrote you and therefore you should discard all thoughts of that letter. The engagement as far as I am concerned is back on.
Love, Natasha
Professor Snape read the letter and let out a heavy sigh. 'Odd what being in love does to a girl? When did my princess become so scattered? Must be Draco's influence, I should have a talk with him about that.' The Professor thought as he graded the papers of his students.
Dear Mrs. Malfoy or should I call you Narcissa.
I have finished reading your letter and yes, I was astonished to receive such a helpful letter from you. Thank you for sharing your love story with me. It does seem like Draco and me; I believe that I might have overreacted during that potions class. I believe that other girls name was Parkison… Pansy Parkison. I can only hope that what you and Lucius have, Draco and me have. A love like the one you shared with me seems so incredible. Yet at the same time, it seems so far from the reality of life. I do hope you and your family can forgive my lack of thought before and what ever my Father said please just ignore it. I will also be writing Draco in hopes to mend whatever bridge I have burned. Do take care, and thank you again.
Love, Natasha
With a smile on her face, Narcissa gave the letter to her Husband. Lucius let out sigh and gave his wife a hug before telling her that he hopes Draco and Natasha have what they have and that Natasha owl reaches Draco in time. Unsure of what her Husband meant, Narcissa just agreed with a worried look upon her face.
Dear Draco,
Its funny is not it. How we came about? You and I have been the curse of each other's existence for the past seven years and now after one Christmas with you, I have flattered. Yes, I am willing to admit my mistake. Have you figured out my mistake yet? No, well I will tell you in a little while.
First, I want to tell you exactly what happened. Well as you know, I dreaded the idea of spending Christmas with you, and your arrogant exterior. So I wrote about the entire Holiday to my Uncle. He made me realize how I felt about you, although I do not believe he did so intentionally. I told him about the slap, about the Christmas gifts, and about that muggle girl who was flirting with you. Of course, I made snide comments here and there but I guess I was just trying to hide what was so obvious since I saw you again for the first time. I want to hate you Draco, after everything you have done to me, I needed to hate you. I needed to hate you because you hated me.
Now, I want to tell you about what happened since the 'dreaded' day we were told we were officially engaged. I truly believed that you hated me and that you were just doing your duties as heir of the Malfoy Family. So, as the ideal daughter I sucked it in and dealt with it. I played the part in public of the happily engaged child, but in truth, I was dying. I was not happy. I was miserable. It became worse when we had our first potions class together. That was the end. I could not do it anymore. I could not marry someone who was not making me happy. So I told my Father and he took care of it. The engagement was called off.
I need you to understand something; I need you to understand why I am writing you about our engagement. See I want to fix it. I want to call the engagement back on. The reason was your Mother. She wrote to me. She told me a love story a very touching love story that made me think. I realized I had over reacted when I saw you and that girl talking. I realized that maybe your mother was right. Maybe you did not hate me after all. Maybe you are just as confused about this all as I am.
I have fallen head over heals in love with you. Around you, I feel like a jealous schoolgirl. I hate that feeling Draco, I hate you for making me feel that way. Alas, in truth I do not hate you, not even a tiny bit. In fact, I am so in love with you that I would marry you today if I could. Please Draco, tell me how you feel? Do you hate me? Do you want to marry me? Want do you want Draco, what do you need? I wait as long as I have to for you, because well you will be worth it.
Love forever, Natasha
Before Draco could finish reading the letter that his Natasha wrote, and other owl appeared with a letter. Draco got up and grabbed that letter. He noticed that it was from Natasha's Father. Curious he decided he would stop reading Natasha's letter after the line 'the engagement was called off' and read the letter from her Father instead.
I would like to again thank my reviewers for reading, this story. It has about two more chapters left and maybe there might be a sequel if you all want one. If anyone is confused, because of the last letter, it ends with Draco believing that Natasha hates him because he hates her, He does not know that she wants to stay engaged because the other owl interrupted Draco's reading. I chose to place the whole of Natasha's letter into this chapter because I felt I needed to be here because as you will see next chapter Draco is not going to finish reading the letter. The final two chapters are one-letter pieces. Chapter 15-Draco reads Sebastian's letter and Chapter 16-Someone gets a letter and a visit from Draco
